Hey everyone. I am currently writing a project on how pediatric hospitals support children through severe, long-term illness processes. Specifically, I am looking into the reality of therapeutic play / medical play.. (e.g., using toy stethoscopes, doll-size medical equipment, or play therapy to help kids cope).

We all know the theory that play helps reduce trauma - but I want to know how it actually looks on the ground? And is including children (playfully) in the procedures something medical staff do? And how big of a difference would it make for their recovery?
