...
There’s a lot of good feedback on play therapy, particularly out of the USA (it’s
called Child Life Therapy there)
...
Much of the research on play shows its relationship to the development of
children’s thinking and more sophisticated classification skills (Frost, Wortham, & Reifel,
2001; Perkins, 1984; Santrock, 2003) and the ability to use what they already know to
construct new knowledge
...
Psychological research has established that
there are five fundamental types of play, commonly referred to as physical play, play
with objects, symbolic play, pretense or socio-dramatic play, and games with rules

These changes are as a
result of expanding medical and nursing practice emerging challenges in different
aspects of child care, consumer demands and technological advancements

The role of paediatric nurse are; Primary Caregiver, Coordinator and
Collaborator, Advocate, Health Educator, Consultant, Counselor, Case Manager,
Recreationist, Social Worker and Researcher
...
Recreationist is the
paediatric nurse plays supportive role for the child to provide play facilities for recreation
and diversion
...
It help children to make sense of difficult life experiences or complex psychological
issues through the activity of play because play is a child's natural way of
communicating and they can explore various issues they might find difficult to express
in other ways
...
Paediatric nurse should participate or perform research activity
...
We do a
research work, see and study what other hospital already have such as play therapy
programmed, what are the advantages and outcome for having this programs? By that,
we can implement to our practice as it help to improve our quality of care for children in
the hospital setting
...
On my previous working time, I witness many children in
the local health care setting doesn’t want or afraid to be admitted in the hospital, afraid
for the surgery, and they rather choose to go back home even though they are in pain
...
In the local health care setting, the freedom of play for the child in the ward is
very limited; the playroom is not all the time open and available for the child to enjoy
...
V Canulation, insertion of
Nasogastric tube, Suturing and etc
...
Play Therapists receive extensive training in subjects such as child
development and attachment (the bonding process)
...
Play is vital to every child's social, emotional, cognitive, physical, creative and
language development
...
Rather than having to explain what is troubling them, as
adult therapy usually expects, children use play to communicate at their own level and
at their own space, without feeling interrogated or threatened
...
Talking about problems using words is often
difficult for children
...
In play, children will use their imaginations and express
themselves symbolically through the toys
...
For example, the day
before the surgery, the child need to be explain completely about the situation of the
surgery, what kind of surgery they will have so they will feel comfortable, cooperate and
be well prepared, this can be done by bring them to a play room, dress a doll in a
hospital gown, O
...
When children play with toys in ways that are similar to difficult situations or
traumatic events like surgeries, this symbolic expression using toys is therapeutic in
itself and can bring about positive changes within the child
...
Expressing feelings leads to understanding feelings, which then leads to a decrease in
the intensity of feelings
...
A play
programme may increase the child’s ability to cope with a hospital admission, facilitate
appropriate channels of communication between the child, the family and relevant
health care professionals (Norma Jun-Tai, 2008)
...
It also helps to promote the child confidence, self-esteem
and independence, assist in the assessment and diagnosis of illness (Norma Jun-Tai,
2008)
...
Play therapy has been used in KK’s Women and Children’s Hospital
...
They help to nurture
and support children, teens and families during their stay in hospital
...
Specific intervention play techniques are used to address
challenges that may arise from hospitalization
...
They help to explain and prepare the child for upcoming surgery and are also on hand
to provide distraction and diversions during difficult periods of time while hospitalized
...
These general play sessions
are run by Hospital Play volunteers who will work with the child either by their bedside
or at the general ward play area in the subsidized wards
...
This result was consistent and it’s highlights the importance in treatment to
increase the likelihood of successful outcome
...
For example, when having a blood test the child can be given an appropriate
explanation using play and helped to understand why blood taken does not need to be
replaced
...
This is
achieved in the following ways: Normal play enables the child to relax as she/he finds
comfort in familiar toys and activities
...
Preparation for procedures offers the child and
family the means to understand, accept and co-operate with treatment
...
The child needs plenty of time and
opportunity to assimilate what is fearful or unknown
...
Distraction therapy involves a range of techniques, which acknowledges that the
child may be frightened during a procedure and offers a means of coping whilst the
procedure is taking place
...
There are various methods involved including: bubbles, singing, stories,
interactive books guided imagery, which involves the child using his/her imagination to
construe a situation, i
