The purpose of this study is to elucidate changes in nurses’ learning and perception, as well as changes in nursing practices, verbatim records of reflections and meeting records were qualitatively analyzed using a descriptive approach. As a result, the “stage when clues were obtained for nursing practice to support children’s self-care agency and parental care agency” and the “stage when support for children’s self-care agency and parental care agency were implemented in the nursing plan, and the effect of support and significance of nursing care were realized” led to the “stage when support for children’s self-care agency and parental care agency using department case conferences was established as a nursing process, and nurses gained value and self-confidence as a result of nursing care.” Thus, by improving self-care support for children and their parents in difficult situations and by improving children’s self-care agency and parental care agency, nurses were able to gain value and confidence in nursing care.
