Sponsor's own description

Healthcare professionals and administrators who serve children are aware of the role of play in children's lives and with this awareness, they design playrooms and areas for children in hospitals. Nurses who consider play as an important atraumatic care approach that supports the child's development, reduces stress and anxiety, and thus contributes to the improvement of hospital compliance have conducted some studies on this subject. Sarman (2022) found in his study that animal-assisted treatment with aquarium fish in the hospital for children aged 8-10 was effective in reducing children's fear and anxiety, strengthening positive emotions, ensuring that the hospital environment was accepted as safe, reducing the feeling of loneliness and facilitating adaptation to the hospital. In another study, play and art therapy was applied to hospitalized children between the ages of 2 and 4, and it was determined that play therapy was more effective in reducing children's anxiety than art therapy and the control group. In their study evaluating the effect of the "hospital friend, Yarencik" initiative on the hospital adaptation of children aged 1-3, Özcan and Güdücü Tüfekci (2022) found that the hospital adaptation of the intervention group after the application was significantly higher than the control group. Although the above studies show that studies using developmentally appropriate and attractive methods to increase the compliance of young children to hospitalization are effective, the number of methods and studies tested is limited. Finding the best method to increase the compliance of young children to hospital and providing evidence that will form the basis for the development and updating of guides or guides is an important requirement.
