Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nursing
  • Congenital Disorders
  • Healthcare Models

Background:

  • Tracheomalacia is a congenital condition causing respiratory distress in infants.

  • Existing literature often lacks a structured nursing model approach for tracheomalacia.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess and plan care for a 10-month-old child diagnosed with tracheomalacia.
  • To explore the application of Roy's Adaptation Model in pediatric nursing for congenital disorders.
  • To emphasize the importance of health promotion strategies tailored to the child's needs.

Main Methods:

  • Case study approach focusing on a 10-month-old infant with tracheomalacia.
  • Application of Roy's Adaptation Model to guide assessment and care planning.
  • Review of the roles of the health visitor and multidisciplinary team.

Main Results:

  • Roy's model provided a structured framework for assessing and planning care.
  • Identified key health promotion needs for the child with tracheomalacia.
  • Highlighted the collaborative efforts required from the health visitor and multidisciplinary team.

Conclusions:

  • Roy's Adaptation Model is a valuable tool for managing pediatric tracheomalacia.
