Psychological and social support is one of the factors that promote resilience in refugee children. Immigrant children with thalassemia have special psychosocial needs in the host country. The comfort model can help identify psychosocial needs. We applied Kolcaba's comfort theory to an 8-year-old Afghan boy with a history of thalassemia in Iran. According to Kolcaba's model, the taxonomy of psychological and social comfort needs were separation from mother, anxiety due to unfamiliarity with the hospital, fear of interaction and preference for silence, different culture and place of living, language barrier. To address his psychospiritual and sociocultural comfort care, we used coaching and comfort food interventions recommended by Kolcaba. The use of Kolcaba's Comfort Theory was helpful in promoting the child's emotional and social comfort in the case of an Afghan refugee child with thalassemia in Iran.
心理和社会支持是促进难民儿童恢复力的因素之一。患有地中海贫血的移民儿童在东道国有着特殊的心理社会需求。舒适模型有助于识别心理社会需求。我们将科尔卡巴的舒适理论应用于一名8岁的阿富汗男孩，他在伊朗有地中海贫血病史。根据科尔卡巴的模型，心理和社会舒适需求的分类包括与母亲分离、因不熟悉医院而焦虑、害怕互动和偏好安静、不同的文化和居住地点、语言障碍。为了满足他的心理精神和社会文化舒适护理需求，我们采用了科尔卡巴推荐的指导和舒适食物干预措施。在伊朗一名患有地中海贫血的阿富汗难民儿童的案例中，运用科尔卡巴的舒适理论有助于促进该儿童的情感和社会舒适。
