Abstract

Problem

Art- and narrative-based interventions are an integral component of pediatric inpatient psychiatric care. We describe a novel therapeutic comic book we developed for hospitalized children and young adolescents.

Methods

A Hero's Journey is a 38-page zine that can be freely downloaded and photocopied for distribution. The short booklet is intended to demystify and offer guidance throughout the experience of hospitalization, promote interaction and socialization, provide scaffolding for skill-building, and prepare patients for moving forward after discharge.

Findings

The underlying foundations of the booklet include: 1) Theoretical sources (Joseph Campbell's hero's journey; Donald Schön's reflective practice; and the principles of narrative medicine); and 2) Clinical sources (collaborative problem solving; cognitive-behavioral therapy, and trauma-informed care). We articulate how each page relates to the different components, and how individual pages can be used as worksheets for practice of specific skills. We next provide suggestions on how best to use the booklet: from arrival at the emergency room, through inpatient hospitalization, and toward discharge. We also propose ways for staff, caregivers, and any child-facing adult to make use of this clinical resource in support of a patient's recovery and reintegration into their community.

Conclusions

Even though not yet empirically tested, this therapeutic comic book is available for dissemination free of cost. We encourage leaders in nursing and therapeutic recreation to try using this resource in their emergency room and milieu settings.

英雄之旅:使用治疗性漫画书支持住院精神病患者的儿童
问题艺术和叙事为基础的干预是儿科住院精神病护理的一个组成部分。我们描述了我们为住院儿童和青少年开发的一本新颖的治疗性漫画书。方法《英雄之旅》是一本38页的杂志,可以免费下载和影印分发。这本小册子的目的是在整个住院经历中消除神秘感并提供指导,促进互动和社会化,为技能培养提供脚手架,并为患者出院后的生活做好准备。这本小册子的基础包括:1)理论来源(约瑟夫·坎贝尔的英雄之旅;Donald Schön的反思实践;以及叙事医学的原则);2)临床资源(协作解决问题;认知行为疗法和创伤知情护理)。我们阐明了每个页面与不同组件的关系,以及如何将单个页面用作练习特定技能的工作表。接下来,我们就如何最好地使用这本小册子提供了建议:从到达急诊室,到住院,再到出院。我们还建议工作人员、护理人员和任何面对儿童的成年人利用这种临床资源来支持患者的康复和重新融入他们的社区。尽管尚未经过实证检验,但这本治疗性漫画书可以免费传播。我们鼓励护理和治疗娱乐的领导者尝试在他们的急诊室和环境设置中使用这种资源。
