Background: The purpose of this research is to investigate the effect of creativity-based play therapy on reducing pain intensity and behavioral problems of hospitalized children.
Method: This research uses a semi-experimental method with a pre-test-post-test design with a control group. The statistical population includes all 4-6-year-old children hospitalized in the pediatric surgery department of Imam Hossein (AS) and Al-Zahra Hospital in Isfahan. 30 children were randomly selected and fifteen were placed in two experimental and control groups. The tools used in this research include cognitive-behavioral avoidance questionnaire and pain measurement scale checklist. The analysis of the obtained data was done using covariance analysis.
Results: The results indicate that creativity-based play therapy has a significant effect on reducing pain intensity and behavioral problems of hospitalized children.
Conclusion: Based on this, creativity-oriented play therapy can play an important role in reducing pain intensity and behavioral problems of hospitalized children and can be effectively used in psychological interventions for children.
