THE MOST COMMON FEARS IN CHILDREN UNDERGOING INPATIENT TREATMENT: THEORETICAL INSIGHTS AND EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
THE MOST COMMON FEARS IN CHILDREN UNDERGOING INPATIENT TREATMENT: THEORETICAL INSIGHTS AND EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS

Summary/Abstract: According to Hakim et al. (2023), based on WHO reports, more than 6 million children are hospitalised each year for a wide range of conditions, and overall, every child is hospitalised at least once in their lifetime due to some illness, so research related to children’s fears during inpatient treatment is very valuable – more and more evidence-based information is being disclosed about the fears children face during hospital admissions, ways to effectively reduce them, and how general practice nurses can contribute to the overall process of identifying and overcoming these fears. This study is also expected to contribute to improving the nursing care of paediatric patients by assisting in identifying the fears of hospitalised children, identify the most effective approaches to reducing and overcoming them, and define the significance of general practice nurses in the inpatient treatment of children suffering from fear during hospitalisation.
