This study aims to explore a nursing care experience of a preschooler with Pneumonia using therapeutic play from April 10 to April 15, 2019. Direct care, physical evaluation, observation and interviews were performed. Data were collected and analyzed based on Gordon 11 Function Health Patterns, and findings included the client's failure of respiratory tract cleaning function, the client's fear due to facing strange environment and medical management during hospitalization and care-giver's role strain. This client demonstrated fear and was not able to cooperate while facing the medical team, environment and medical management. A tailor-made therapeutic toy, the client's favorite steam train, was used while performing aerosol therapy, so the client was able to engage in the treatment. The care-giver showed unconfident when receiving nursing instruction. The author listened and encouraged the care-giver to positively help the client to develop independence. Instead of playing a role of a perfect mother, the care-giver demonstrated more confidence in caring skills. Inconsistency in nursing instruction was found in this caring experience, so it is suggested that instruction leaflet regarding aerosol therapy was added. It is expected that this nursing care experience contributes to providing clinical information for those who care similar cases. |
