dc.description.abstractAim: Chronic diseases that lead to continuous monitoring, treatment, and repeated hospitalizations could affect development (mental, psychomotor, and language development) of children. These negative experiences undergone by children and adolescents may affect disease management negatively. This study was conducted qualitatively with intern nurses to understand what chronic disease means to children and adolescents with chronic diseases using esthetic knowing method. Methods: Intern nurses (n=25) caring for children and adolescents with chronic diseases between 9 and 18 years of age participated in the study. Intern nurses requested children and adolescents to express what it meant to have chronic diseases through drawing, writing, poetry, etc. Focus group interviews were carried out to find out and record the experiences of the intern nurses. Ethical approval and consent from students, children, and adolescents and their parents were obtained. Results: Intern students noticed differences in the reactions of the children and adolescents. They described how esthetic knowing was used as a coping method by the children, comforted them psychologically. Intern nurses stated that they entered the internal world of the child with esthetic knowing, meant that having chronic disease was a punishment, a family burden, dependent and different for children. They established a trust relationship and saw the children’s own weak points. Intern nurses recommended that esthetic knowing should be included in training syllabuses, used by intern students in practice, placed on in-service training, maybe applied to the families and used in other clinics. Conclusion: Esthetic knowing is recommended focusing in nursing education and practice.
