Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nursing
  • Child Psychology
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Hospitalization can induce distress in children, potentially impacting their overall healthcare experience.
  • Creative play offers a promising avenue to mitigate adverse effects, fostering positive associations with hospital stays.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of a creative play intervention on service-care satisfaction among pediatric patients and their parents.
  • To assess the feasibility and effectiveness of creative play as a nursing intervention in a hospital setting.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach combining quantitative pre/post-assessments and qualitative interviews.
  • Involved 30 children (15 experimental, 15 control), 30 parents, and 20 nurse practitioners.
  • Utilized the Patient's Nursing Care Perception Tool and the PedsQL Health Care Satisfaction Tool.

Main Results:

  • Significant improvements in patient and parent satisfaction scores post-intervention (PNCST: p < .001; PedsQL: p < .001).
  • Nurses reported enhanced play skills, and parents noted improved nurse-child relationships and care satisfaction.
  • No significant differences between groups at baseline, highlighting the intervention's impact.

Conclusions:

  • Creative play is a feasible and effective nursing intervention for enhancing pediatric patient and caregiver satisfaction.
  • The intervention positively influences the patient experience and strengthens the nurse-child relationship.
