Translational research – Interventions for children and adolescents to develop healthy lifestyles and cope with stress and anxiety

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Interventions for children and adolescents are effective in developing healthy lifestyles as well as coping with the stress and anxiety associated with hospitalization and invasive procedures. When children are hospitalized, they have stress and anxiety and need assistance with coping. Creative nursing interventions designed to distract children and provide diversion during invasive procedures are helpful in alleviating children's fear and anxiety. In addition, interventions with mobile health applications (apps) are effective in helping adolescents develop healthy lifestyles with respect to physical activity and nutrition, as well as teaching children how to manage urinary incontinence to improve their quality of life.
