Аbstract

This review article focuses on the role of Advanced Practice Nurses in pediatric rehabilitation, taking into account the requirements of the national accreditation system of the Republic of Kazakhstan and international quality standards of the Joint Commission International. The article examines recent open-access studies from Scopus and Web of Science databases, addressing the effectiveness of advanced nursing practice, the work of multidisciplinary teams, and the impact of expanded nursing competencies on pediatric treatment outcomes. The national accreditation of Kazakhstan emphasizes patient safety, process standardization, and assessment of nursing care quality. Joint Commission International standards highlight the importance of clinical protocols, team communication, and systematic professional development. Comparative analysis shows that integrating Advanced Practice Nurses practice into pediatric rehabilitation contributes to improved functional outcomes, increased family satisfaction, and optimization of physician workload. Systematic implementation of the Advanced Practice Nurses model requires adaptation of international requirements, strengthening educational programs, and developing mechanisms for competency assessment.
