Using a hermeneutic–phenomenological approach, the researchers seek to understand how engagement in active play promotes confidence in movement, encourages social interactions and fosters personal development (Pouplier et al. <span>2024</span>). Several methodological and conceptual aspects of the study warrant closer examination to refine the interpretation of the findings and strengthen the evidence base.</p>\u0000<p>The reliance on participant observation introduces interpretive limitations. While the researchers documented children's engagement through facial expressions and behavioural cues, these observations remain subjective. The study does not include validated quantitative assessments of motor skills or psychosocial development, leaving room for ambiguity in measuring actual developmental progress. A more rigorous methodology would include objective assessments such as validated gross motor function tests, structured behavioural coding systems and standardised parent questionnaires to corroborate findings from participant observations. In addition, the study identifies familiarity, recognition and fun as key motivators for participation in structured active play but does not account for potential confounding variables that may influence engagement. The extent to which medical conditions such as fatigue, pain or neuropathy affect participation remains unclear. Some children may have been more likely to participate due to better baseline physical function or milder treatment side effects. Without detailed stratification of participant characteristics, it is difficult to determine whether the observed benefits of structured active play apply broadly to all preschool children with cancer or only to a subset with specific physical abilities.</p>\u0000<p>Parental involvement plays a critical role in children's participation, but the study does not examine variations in parental support. Parents' socio-economic background, educational level and psychological well-being may significantly influence their ability to facilitate structured active play at home. Parents experiencing emotional distress or caregiving burdens may have difficulty maintaining consistency in facilitating active play. Future research should examine how parental stress and resilience affect the implementation of structured active play interventions, and whether additional support mechanisms for parents could improve intervention adherence and effectiveness. In addition, the study suggests that structured active play contributes to preschoolers' confidence in movement and social interactions, but the mechanistic pathways underlying these improvements remain speculative. The intervention design assumes that active play directly improves social skills but does not disentangle whether improvements are due to in","PeriodicalId":54897,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Nursing","volume":"124 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both require a gaze which is searching and undisturbedly compassionate and yet detached’ (Jolley <span>1992</span>, 51).</p>\u0000<p>When I first encountered this quote, I was a PhD student struggling to find my voice as a writer. Like many nurses who transition into doctoral work, I found writing to the required standard an enormous challenge. At that point in my life and career, I was more comfortable with the <i>doing</i> of research—monitoring compliance, gathering data, organising information and the meticulous process of storing it all. Writing the research up, however, felt like an insurmountable barrier. I did not feel confident as a writer, and the pressure to be both analytical and creative left me feeling disconnected from my own voice. I struggled to find a way to bridge the gap between my nursing practice and my academic work, to find a means of expression—a rhythm and a voice that felt authentic and meaningful to me.</p>\u0000<p>The quote by Jolley resonated with me deeply, so much so that I printed it out and pinned it on my wall. Each day, as I worked, I would glance at those words, allowing them to anchor me amidst the challenges of doctoral life. As a nurse who became a celebrated and respected author, Elizabeth Jolley embodied the very essence of that balance—where compassion and detachment coexist. She had done it. She had found that place and that voice. Somehow, through her words in that short quote, she showed that it was possible, even necessary, to bring the same compassion and empathy applied in nursing practice to the practice of writing, while also holding the necessary space to reflect, critically examine and develop the skills required to authentically and articulately express a range of human emotions.</p>","PeriodicalId":54897,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Advanced Nursing","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143695436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
