This study explores that aliments were the adolescent siblings of the person with child chronic diseases (ccd) and how to use aliment to live on. The design was a method of inductive qualitative approach to exploratory factor. Fourteen subjects with the adolescent siblings living with the person of ccd in children from early childhood were investigated. Findings revealed "aliments were the adolescent siblings of the person with child chronic diseases", "The presence of the person with diseases own aliment", "The aliment acquired through disease or disorder of the person with ccd", "The aliment for supporter to watch over, support and encourage", "The aliment for liberating from the standpoint of sibling", "The aliment that turning point-notice the pain confined to the unconscious", "The aliment to force in cultivating and establishing the sibling mature stage of growth", "The aliment for exerting oneself and pursueing own dreams to active" and "The aliment for source to cast need of sibling support to society" as core category. Through such assessment, nurses may have the necessity for the intervention to notice enclosed in a coward unconscious bur, and to reveal suffering confined in the depths of the mind.

Using qualitative inductive research, I aimed to clarify the factors influencing the actions which were reported in the former research (Shiba, 2005). It was also reported that nursing students had taken the actions at every stage of the process for "Harmony with the Hospitalized Infant" in a nursing practicum. Continuous comparison analysis of 43 examples involving infants was performed using partially structured interview data from 32 students immediately following their completion of child nursing practicum at 3 nursing schools. From the research, the following findings are reported: Each of 'Referring to Action Models' and 'Searching for Hospitalized Infants' Interests', which is included in "Searching Behaviors for Clues to Relations," has I background factor and 4 factors which developed or prevented students' actions. Both of 'Approach Behaviors Aiming for Harmony with the Hospitalized Infant by Playing' and 'Approach Behaviors Aiming for Harmony with the Hospitalized Infant by Comforting Babies', which construct "Approach Behaviors Aiming for Harmony with the Hospitalized Infant," has 2 background factors. Besides the former has 5 and the latter has 2 factors which developed or prevented students' actions. "Caring Actions as Practice Tasks" has 4 background factors and 4 factors which developed or prevented students' actions.

The objective of the present study was to elucidate the effects of preparation using dolls for blood pressure measurement and to investigate practical preparation methods that consider the feelings and autonomy of children. A total of 14 healthy elementary school children aged six to nine years were randomly divided into the doll use group and the oral explanation group, and the original face scale, pulse rate, and behavior during implementation of children were recorded and compared. The results showed that the use of dolls more effectively alleviated stress and anxiety in children and facilitated relation-building with children, and that demonstrations using dolls were effective in enabling children to foresee what to do next. Gestures or verbal directions of motion were also effective. In addition, the results suggest that follow-up and provision of support for promoting comfort following the procedure can be facilitated by providing opportunities for play using dolls after the procedure.

Student nurses were asked, before and after classroom lecture on preparation and after practical training, to answer 20 questions on an original questionnaire which was prepared to gain an insight into their perceptions about preparation of children at different stages of training. An aggregate total of 641 duly completed forms were returned (221 before lecture, 229 after lecture and 191 after practical training). The Mann-Whitney test was performed to analyze the responses. A significant difference was observed in ten question items when responses before lecture were compared with those after lecture, in that the respondents became more interested in preparation after lecture. Comparison of a group of respondents who had an opportunity to prepare a child during practical training against the others who did not revealed a significant difference in four question items, with the former group being more preparation-orientated. The former group showed a significant difference in 13 question items when responses after lecture were compared with those after practical training. Significant differences were observed in 14 question items in the case of the latter group. In neither case, did the respondents generally become more interested in preparation after practical training. The results show that the student nurses' interest in preparing a child can sometimes wane. Collaboration with the clinical side to allow them to have an experience in preparation would help encourage the student nurses to reflect on preparation from the "rights of the child" point of view, and to develop their ethical sensitivity.

The aim of this study was, the first, to explain the coping behaviors and their factors toward perplexities of the students taking charge of the infantile patients, and the second, to obtain suggestive points of view for the guidance of future training. Semi-structured interviews with 12 students of junior nursing colleges were held after the pediatric nursing practice. As the results, 3 categories of the coping behaviors of the students toward the perplexities were elicited as 【approaching the infant】, 【putting their creative ideas to good use with much trial and error】 and 【carrying out the intention with the support of help from the surroundings】. Also, 4 categories of the factors of the coping behaviors were elicited as 【recognition of necessity of the care】, 【support from the surroundings】, 【formation of their composure】, and 【attitude of the infant causing the student to be concerned with the infant willingly】. The students under the perplexities of the relationship with the infants, made coping behaviors, backed up by the factor of [recognition of necessity of the care] caused the coping behaviors of [approaching the infant]. Supported from the surrounding, they had the care of children and as a result, children showed a change of attitude. Furthermore, students' recognition of the infants whom students want to care for led them to treat infants with affection and caused the coping behaviors. Based on these factors of the coping behaviors, suggestive points of view was that it is necessary to support students to overcome the perplexities, with the discernment of their readiness.
