Summary

The nursing profession has a dynamic image in society, shaped by individuals' lives, cultural backgrounds, and interactions with healthcare services. The image of nursing formed during childhood, in particular, directly influences individuals' attitudes toward healthcare professionals and their participation in healthcare services. Migrant children, however, may perceive the nursing profession in a more limited and negative context due to reasons such as unfamiliarity with the hospital environment, language barriers, and cultural differences. Based on this, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of the NURSIM-KID program, developed for migrant children aged 8-11 years receiving inpatient treatment in the pediatric ward of Kilis Prof. Dr. Alaeddin Yavaşca State Hospital, on the images of the nursing profession held by children and their parents. The program aims to contribute to introducing the nursing profession in a more positive and functional way, using methods appropriate to the children's age and developmental level. The limited number of studies in the literature addressing the perceptions of migrant children and their parents regarding the image of nursing highlights the importance of this research and the original contribution it will make to the field. The findings of the study are of a nature that could guide the development of nursing education, child-friendly hospital practices, and culturally supportive initiatives.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

NURSIM-KID Program

The NURSIM-KID program is a three-day structured intervention designed to support 8-11-year-old hospitalized children's perceptions of the nursing profession. It introduces children to the hospital environment, the nurse's role, and common medical equipment in a simple, child-friendly manner. Through puppets and the picture book "Who Am I? Nurse," children learn about nursing care, empathy, and communication. The program emphasizes emotional safety and active participation, encouraging children to express their feelings and questions. On the final day, children receive a participation certificate, reinforcing positive and trusting attitudes toward nurses and healthcare.
