Background and purpose: Chronic illness separates children from their normal living environment and intermittent, and hospitalization causes them to feel frustrated and hopeless. Since playing has a significant role in reducing children's negative emotions, this study was conducted to investigate the effect of play therapy on the frustration and hopelessness of children with chronic diseases.
Materials and methods: This is a semi-experimental study with two control and intervention groups. A total of 60 children with chronic diseases hospitalized in 6 departments of Children's Medical Center in Tehran were selected by convenience sampling method to participate in this study based on the entry criteria (n=30 in the intervention and n=30 people in the control group). A demographic information form and Kazdin's hopelessness scale in children (HSC) were used to collect the data, and SPSS software version 16 was used to analyze the collected data.
Findings: The findings of this study indicated that the play therapy had a significant effect on the hopelessness of children in the intervention group, so that their mean score of hopelessness after the intervention was much lower compared to before intervention (P-value<0.05). The effect size of this intervention on the children hopelessness was 0.215, which is higher than 0.08, indicating the effectiveness of intervention.
Conclusion: The results of this study showed that playing has a positive effect on the level of frustration of children with chronic diseases. Therefore, playing is recommended to reduce frustration and improve mental health of children with chronic diseases.
