Head trauma is a major health problem. Its primary complications happen at the time of trauma and are inevitable; thus, head trauma management is focused on the prevention and management of secondary complications. A clear clinical guideline for head trauma care can help nurses effectively prevent and manage secondary complications. This study aims to develop the clinical guideline for nursing care of children under 18 years with head trauma hospitalized in emergency departments, critical care units, and neurosurgery wards.
