“…On the other hand, several studies have been conducted on the relationship between self‐concealment and psychological issues such as depression and anxiety (Kawamura & Frost, ; Leleux‐Labarge et al, ; Mendoza et al, ), well‐being (Deniz, ; Jıng et al, ; Uysal et al, ) and physical–psychological health (Friedlander et al, ; Masuda et al, ; Wheaton et al, ) variables. The related results show that expressive therapies have a positive effect on these concepts related to depression, anxiety (Çutuk, ; Demir & Yıldırım, ; Tunç, ), well‐being (Karataş, ; Kaya, ) and physical–mental health (Özcan, ; Paice, Nainis, Ratner, Wirth, & Lai, ; Sarandöl, Akkaya, Eracar & Kırlı, ; Siegel, Iida, Rachlin, & Yount, ). The results of the present research are supported with those of the above‐mentioned studies as indicated by the positive effects of the psychological counselling programme with semi‐structured groups involving expressive activities on the self‐concealment levels of adolescent individuals.…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of counselling programmes based on expressive activities with semi‐structured groups, on the self‐concealment levels of adolescents. The research was carried out using a pretest–posttest control group design. The dependent variable of the present research, is the psychological counselling programme conducted with a semi‐structured group based on expressive activities. The research was carried out with 18 6th and 7th grade secondary school students (10 female and 8 male). The Self‐Concealment Scale was used as data collection tool. In this research, the use of nonparametric tests was preferred, as the sample was smaller than 30. Therefore, it was determined whether there is a statistically significant difference between the arithmetic means of the experimental and control groups’ pretest, posttest and trail test scores by use of Wilcoxon signed‐rank test, to determine the effects of a psychological counselling programme with semi‐structured group based on expressive activities. Also, it was determined whether there was a statistically significant relationship between the pretest, posttest and trail intervention scores received by the intervention and control group students from the Self‐Concealment Scale, using Mann–Whitney U test. The research results revealed that the “psychological counselling programme based on expressive activities with semi‐structured groups” was significantly effective in alleviation of self‐concealment levels, and this effect was also maintained in follow‐up evaluations. The obtained results are discussed in the light of related literature findings and recommendations are proposed accordingly.

“…The process of hospitalization in a child's life is a change from every routine to which he/she is accustomed, since he/she is removed from family, friends and all his/her daily activities, causing his/her great suffering and stress. 1 This situation can be enhanced when he/she needs to stay in single rooms, that is, in a precautionary environment, which deprives him/her of freedom and of being able to interact with others, especially with other children in the hospital ward.…”

Objective: To understand the meaning of playing for the hospitalized child under precaution. Method: Qualitative research, where Symbolic Interactionism is the theoretical framework and Qualitative Content Analysis is the methodological one. It was attended by eight children aged between 5 and 10. Data were collected through participant observation of playful activities developed with the child by a nurse-researcher and semi-structured interviews mediated by story-drawing with theme. Results: Data showed the evolution of the interactions among toy, researcher and child; their rapid acceptance to get involved in playing; the way they explore the toys; the desire to free themselves from confinement; the relief of stress, the mastery of the situation and the protagonism enabled by the playing; the way they outline the hospital and the importance of having someone to play. Final considerations: Nurses should use creativity, seeking strategies that allow the child to play in this environment full of restrictions.
