Enhancing the state of play in children's nursing
Abstract:
Play is recognised as an essential component of a child's life. Playing with children in hospital can aid nurses in assessing, communicating and providing nursing care. Play workshops can facilitate nursing students' understanding of the importance and benefits of play. Play can benefit children, health carers and parents in the hospital setting. Play workshops encourage children's nurses to view play as an integral part of their role.
