The aim of this study was to identify key aspects in the exchange of information and to determine how nurses communicate news to hospitalised children. For this study, we applied the critical incident technique with 30 children aged between 8 and 14 years. Data were collected in paediatric units in a hospital in Alicante (Spain) using participant observation and semi-structured interviews. The analysis yielded three main categories: the children's reaction to the information, nursing staff behaviour as a key aspect in the exchange of information and communication of news as well as children's experience. This article emphasises the need to promote children's consent and participation in nursing interventions. An analysis of these aspects will verify whether children's rights are being respected and taken into account in order to promote children's well-being and adaptation to hospitalisation.
本研究的目的是确定信息交流中的关键方面,并确定护士如何向住院儿童传达消息。在本研究中,我们对30名年龄在8至14岁之间的儿童应用了关键事件技术。通过参与观察和半结构化访谈,在西班牙阿利坎特一家医院的儿科病房收集数据。分析得出三个主要类别:儿童对信息的反应、护理人员在信息交流和消息传达中的关键行为以及儿童的经历。本文强调促进儿童同意并参与护理干预的必要性。对这些方面的分析将核实儿童权利是否得到尊重和考虑,以促进儿童的福祉和对住院生活的适应。
