“…Studies have also reported that distracting play activities eff ectively reduce pain and fear during invasive procedures (17,21,35). It has also been shown that preoperative play activities reduce fear, anxiety, and pain levels (16,(36)(37)(38).

“…Forms of communication appropriate for the developmental ages of children are a very important factor in reducing physiological, emotional, and behavioural problems among children hospitalized for COVID-19 or Multisystem infl ammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) during the pandemic (14). Play activities are used in routine care for hospitalized children as a form of preparation for surgical or invasive procedures and also during painful or unpleasant procedures (9,(15)(16)(17). Play is an eff ective way of making hospitalization less diffi cult for children, reducing their pain and anxiety (9,12,18,19 ).…”

Aim: This study aims to determine the effects of play activities for COVID-19 positive and MIS-C pediatric patients on the anxiety and fear of children and their parents. Methods: This is an experimental study that was prepared through STROBE. The study population consisted of 38 children treated in a university hospital COVID-19 unit. The Children’s Anxiety Meter-State and the Children’s Fear Scale were administered before and after the play activities. The parents’ fear and anxiety were assessed using the COVID-19 Phobia Scale and the Beck Anxiety Inven- tory. The book and coloring set was prepared in advance and delivered to the experimental group in a package. After the sets were given to the parents, the parents read the book to their children the same day. Afterward, they were asked to color pictures of coro- navirus precautions together with the children. SPSS 22.00 package program was used to analyze the study data. The Mann-Whit- ney U test was used to compare independent groups, and Wilcoxon analysis was used to analyze dependent variables before and after the play activities. Results: Based on the children’s anxiety and fear scores in the experimental group, significant differences were found before and after the play activities and significant differences between the anxiety scores (<0.05) of parents and children. However, no significant difference was found between post-play anxiety and fear scores of children in the experimental group and the scores of the control group. Discussion: The experimental group had low mean anxiety and fear scores after the play activities. Play activities should be used to reduce the anxiety and fear of children who are treated in isolation in hospitals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Even if children are restricted to isolation rooms, their daily routines should be maintained, and their parents should be supported.

“…Persian version of this scale with a good reliability (r = 85%) has been used in various studies. [1718] And the third part was Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale (ZBS) for the mothers with 22 items scored on a scale ranging from 0 to 4 (never, rarely, sometimes, mostly, and always, respectively). A total score of 0, less than 30,30–60, 61–88, and 88 indicated no, slight, moderate, severe, and the highest caregiver burden, respectively.…”

Background: Chronic problems have a long course of treatment and are one of the important causes of the childhood hospitalization. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of a supportive training program on the children's anxiety and their mothers' caregiver burden. Materials and Methods: This study was a randomized controlled clinical trial, performed on two groups in three stages in the autumn of 2017 on 112 individuals. The study population consisted of all children with chronic kidney problems who hospitalized in Emam Hossein Hospital (Isfahan, Iran) and their mothers. Sampling selection method was convenient. Participants were randomly assigned to experimental ( n = 56) and control ( n = 56) groups and the supportive training program, that was a self-regulating program, was done for the experimental group. The Face Anxiety Scale and the Zarit Caregiver Burden Scale were completed by both groups before, after and 1 month after the intervention. Statistical significance was set at 5%. Results: There was a significant difference in the mean scores of anxiety and caregiver burden in the experimental group preintervention [anxiety: (t 54 = 0.31, p = 0.75); caregiver burden: (t 54 = 1.34, p = 0.18)], postintervention [anxiety: (t 54 = 5.30, p < 0.001); caregiver burden: (t 54 = 2.72, p = 0.009)], and follow-up [anxiety: (t 54 = 2.39, p = 0.01); caregiver burden: (t 54 = 3.06, p = 0.003)], whereas there was no significant difference in the mean scores of anxiety and caregiver burden in the control group. In order to controlling for pretest scores, the repeated measure analysis of covariance was adopted. Conclusions: The results showed that the supportive training program can reduce children's anxiety and their mothers' caregiver burden and suggesting to nurses, an effective program to reduce the negative effects of hospitalization on children and their mothers.

“…El juego facilita el desarrollo de procesos sensoriales, motores y cognitivos, por lo cual los niños enfermos necesitan jugar, tal vez incluso más que los niños sanos (Mohammadi et al, 2017;Stenman et al, 2019). Garantizar que los niños hospitalizados tengan la posibilidad de jugar resulta esencial, pues la imposibilidad de hacerlo a menudo conduce al desarrollo de patrones de comportamiento dependientes, impotencia aprendida y depresión (Weiss et al, 2003).…”
