Play for most hospitalized children centers around self and stressful situations as perceived by the child and is restricted in terms of what the environment and physical limitations of the child present. Play can be a tool to understand and intervene with pediatric patients. Collaboration with nurses who are clinical specialists, early childhood educators, and others who have expert knowledge of children and play equipment is useful to plan purposeful play programs or play sessions for the special needs of hospitalized children. Such collaboration will insure that play will be carried out in a consistent growth-promoting manner. For some children, hospitalization is a challenging experience that promotes a sense of competence. For other children, hospitalization is an experience that results in a negative outcome. Nurses can use play to provide pediatric patients with emotional and cognitive growth-promoting activities which facilitate a more positive hospital experience and long-term outcome.
对于大多数住院儿童来说，玩耍主要围绕着自我以及儿童所感知到的压力情境，并且受到儿童所处环境和身体限制的制约。玩耍可以成为了解和干预儿科患者的一种工具。与身为临床专家的护士、幼儿教育工作者以及其他对儿童和游乐设备有专业知识的人员合作，有助于为住院儿童的特殊需求规划有目的的玩耍项目或活动时段。这种合作将确保玩耍以促进成长的一致方式进行。对一些儿童而言，住院是一次具有挑战性的经历，能增强他们的能力感。而对其他儿童来说，住院则会带来负面结果。护士可以利用玩耍为儿科患者提供促进情感和认知发展的活动，从而促成更积极的住院体验和长期结果。
