Abstract

Psychological and social support is one of the factors that promote resilience in refugee children. Immigrant children with thalassemia have special psychosocial needs in the host country. The comfort model can help identify psychosocial needs. We applied Kolcaba's comfort theory to an 8-year-old Afghan boy with a history of thalassemia in Iran. According to Kolcaba's model, the taxonomy of psychological and social comfort needs were separation from mother, anxiety due to unfamiliarity with the hospital, fear of interaction and preference for silence, different culture and place of living, language barrier. To address his psychospiritual and sociocultural comfort care, we used coaching and comfort food interventions recommended by Kolcaba. The use of Kolcaba's Comfort Theory was helpful in promoting the child's emotional and social comfort in the case of an Afghan refugee child with thalassemia in Iran.

运用舒适理论满足患有地中海贫血症的阿富汗难民儿童的社会心理需求:病例报告。
心理和社会支持是促进难民儿童恢复能力的因素之一。患有地中海贫血症的移民儿童在东道国有特殊的社会心理需求。舒适度模型可以帮助确定社会心理需求。我们将科尔卡巴的舒适理论应用于一名在伊朗有地中海贫血病史的 8 岁阿富汗男孩。根据科尔卡巴的模型,心理和社会舒适需求的分类是:与母亲分离、因不熟悉医院而焦虑、害怕与人交流和喜欢沉默、不同的文化和生活环境、语言障碍。为了解决他的心理精神和社会文化舒适护理问题,我们采用了科尔卡巴推荐的辅导和舒适食品干预措施。在伊朗的一名患有地中海贫血症的阿富汗难民儿童的案例中,科尔卡巴的 "舒适理论 "有助于促进儿童的情感和社会舒适。
