Abstract

This paper seeks to outline a conceptual framework for child care during the hospitalization, by the light of Betty Neuman’s Theory, which views are based on the effects caused by coping situations in the body together with the variables: duration, occurrences, present or past individual’s conditions, nature and intensity of the stressor, and the amount of energy required by the body to adapt to situations. The stressors mentioned by Neuman occur by intrapersonal, interpersonal and extra personal factors. This paper describes the interventions that permeate this conceptual frameworkand its application in the care of hospitalized children to enable nurses to develop a therapeutic approach with the childclient in order to minimize disruption and breakdown of family dynamics.
