Dealing with stress has become an important issue in health education in community settings. With increasing demands and changes in the daily lives of families, helping children to deal with stress has become increasingly more significant in community health nursing. Nurses who want to mediate effects of stress in children need more information about stress buffers in the daily lives of children. This study attempted to identify and describe stress buffers as actually experienced by school-age children. Qualitative data were drawn from 32 well children, aged 8 through 11 years, by completion of daily semistructured journals over a period of 6 weeks. Diaries produced 764 stress buffer responses. All data were subjected to content analysis. Sixteen categories among four general themes of intrapsychic comfort, physical-social activities, social support, and physical comfort emerged, beginning a taxonomy of stress buffers as perceived by children. Interesting differences between boys and girls were identified, with implications for research and community nursing practice.
应对压力已成为社区健康教育中的一个重要问题。随着家庭日常生活需求的增加和变化，帮助儿童应对压力在社区健康护理中变得越来越重要。想要调节儿童压力影响的护士需要更多关于儿童日常生活中压力缓冲因素的信息。本研究试图识别并描述学龄儿童实际经历的压力缓冲因素。通过让32名8至11岁的健康儿童在6周时间内完成每日半结构化日记，获取了定性数据。日记产生了764条压力缓冲反应。所有数据都进行了内容分析。在心理舒适、身体-社交活动、社会支持和身体舒适这四个一般主题中出现了16个类别，从而初步形成了儿童所感知的压力缓冲因素分类法。研究发现了男孩和女孩之间有趣的差异，这对研究和社区护理实践具有启示意义。
