Abstract:
This study aimed to describe the meaning of aesthetics in nursing practice as experienced by children during hospitalization. A hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used. Fifteen children who met the inclusion criteria participated in the study conducted from June to August 2021. Data were collected by drawing and interviewing. Kongsuwan's approach was used to analyze the data. Six thematic categories that revealed aesthetics in nursing practice were identified, namely, Enjoyment; Kindness; Creating impressive care; Appreciation of safeness; Intention to know children; and Connecting to others. The study findings present useful knowledge to inform nurses regarding special approaches to implementing aesthetic nursing care for children.
