The problem
Intervention: Play activities in hospital settings, including intergenerational and family-based play interventions integrated into nursing care
Who it was tested with: Hospitalised children, their caregivers, and healthcare professionals in four hospitals across different regions of Chile.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analysed using reflective thematic analysis." The study gathered practitioners' perspectives on how play functions therapeutically in hospital settings, representing their accumulated experience and observations rather than a controlled test of the intervention's effects.
Study relies on healthcare professionals' perceptions rather than direct measurement of child outcomes or systematic observation of play activities. No comparison group or control condition. Findings are based on qualitative data from one country and cannot establish causal effects.
