[A nursing experience with a child with rape trauma by using therapeutic play in an emergency room].
This article conceptualized a therapeutic game theory to discuss the pickings process of a preschool sexually violated victim with respect to nursing care delivery in our department of emergency medicine. In cooperation with the victim, we offered support to prevent her from fearing loss of her capacity for self-defense when facing a similar scenario. The overall exercise included observation time, a return outpatient visit and a follow-up phone interview. By using observation, role-play, leading drawing and interviews, we used Piaget's Cognitive Child Development model and game therapy theory to reduce the victim's sense of fear and shame, inducing the victim to eliminate her confusion by talking and to complete the whole pickings process.
