The Structure of "WAKARU" of Their Physical Condition by Young Children with Chronic Diseases

研究的目的是从儿童的角度定性地阐明慢性病儿童身体状况的“WAKARU”结构。5名肾病患儿和6名过敏患儿同意配合本研究。孩子们在没有症状的时候花很多时间玩耍。然而，也有一些孩子在玩的过程中发现了自己身体的变化，并告诉了家人。当出现过敏症状时，孩子们会接受医护人员的治疗。然而，即使在治疗期间，也有一些孩子对游戏的渴望持续甚至增加。当护士的干预既满足了孩子对游戏的渴望又满足了孩子的照顾需求时，孩子在采取缓解症状的行动的同时保持冷静，快乐地玩耍。

The purpose of study is to qualitatively clarify, from the children’s perspective, the structure of “WAKARU” of their physical condition by children with chronic disease. 5 children with kidney disease and 6 children with allergy agreed to cooperate in the study. Children spent much of the time playing when they had no symptoms. However, there were some children who noticed changes in their body themselves in the middle of playing and told their families about it. When allergic symptoms appeared, children received treatment from their medical staffs. However, there were some children whose desire for play lasted or even increased, even during treatment. When the nurse’s intervention satisfied both the child’s desire for play and care needs, the child stayed calm and played happily while taking actions to alleviate the symptoms.
