Abstract:
Play has positive effects on children\'s well-being and development. Play heroes, in Danish, called \"Legeheltene\", have worked, for the last 7 years, to improve play and movement for hospitalized children in Danish hospitals. However, the significance of this novel Danish intervention is insufficiently researched. This phenomenological-hermeneutic study explored how children experience interacting with a play hero when hospitalized at a Danish paediatric unit. Combined observations and interviews were performed with children from two paediatric departments. Data were analyzed with inspiration from the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur. Three themes were identified: \"A sense of familiarity,\" \"From loneliness to connectedness,\" and \"Becoming more powerful.\" Children experience that interaction with play heroes is existentially meaningful. Through playful activities, children experience that they are connected to their daily lives outside the hospital and their true selves. Bridges to children\'s everyday lives are built, leading to an improved sense of freedom, security, and the ability to manage difficult aspects of their hospital stay. Engagement with play heroes provides children with an experience of well-being and can be a positive direction in care provided to hospitalized children.
摘要:
游戏对儿童的幸福和发展有积极的影响。扮演英雄,丹麦语,叫做“Legeheltene”,已经工作,在过去的7年里,改善丹麦医院住院儿童的玩耍和运动。然而,这种新颖的丹麦干预措施的意义尚未得到充分研究。这项现象学诠释学研究探讨了儿童在丹麦儿科住院时如何与游戏英雄互动。对来自两个儿科部门的儿童进行了综合观察和访谈。在法国哲学家PaulRicoeur的启发下,对数据进行了分析。确定了三个主题:“熟悉感,\"\"从孤独到联系,\"和\"变得更强大。“孩子们体验到与游戏英雄的互动是存在意义的。通过好玩的活动,孩子们体验到他们在医院外的日常生活和真实的自我。建立了儿童日常生活的桥梁,带来更好的自由感,安全,以及管理住院困难方面的能力。与游戏英雄的参与为儿童提供了幸福的体验,并且可以成为为住院儿童提供护理的积极方向。
