Storytelling, a way for children to accept care in hospital

This study was carried out over a period of six (06) months in the Paediatric Oncology Unit at Treichville University Hospital. Investigations carried out using techniques and tools enabled us to identify the difficulties faced by children in hospital. Faced with the refusal of medical care, we developed an educational project aimed at getting children to accept care through storytelling. In order to achieve this objective, we carried out activities such as storytelling with comic strips, puppets and marionettes. The activities carried out have produced satisfactory results that need to be consolidated. These children know when it's time for treatment and accept it. This is why we have entrusted the supervisors with a follow-up project to ensure that the children's achievements are sustained.
