Abstract:Background: Living with a life threatening/limiting condition changes and challenges children's play. The environment is known to support participation in play, yet there is a lack of evidence highlighting its specific factors contributing to children's play. In this study, we investigated the perspectives of children living with life threatening/limiting conditions with regard to the environmental factors that are related to their engagement in play whilst receiving inpatient healthcare. Methods: Twenty-seven children took part in this study. Participants were aged between 5 and 11 years, diagnosed with life threatening/limiting conditions and were receiving care at either a children's hospital or hospice in either Kuwait or the United Kingdom. Children were asked to rank-order a Q set according to their perceived importance. The used Q set composed of social and physical environmental factors. The data were analysed using factor analysis and content analysis. Findings: Two shared viewpoints were identified, which represented children from both countries. For Factor 1, the children's need for social connectivity guided their answers regarding the environmental factors. For Factor 2, although children considered being surrounded by others important, their selections of the play conditions directed their play. For both factors, children had relatively little concern for outdoor and the type of play to engage in, with the exception of arts and crafts play activities, which were deemed important. Conclusions: Play settings are important to support rich, social play experiences and opportunities that match children's play preferences. Children living with life threatening/limiting conditions in Kuwait and the United Kingdom have relatively similar play needs.

Abstract:Objectives: Living with a life threatening/limiting condition changes and challenges children’s play. The environment is known to support participation in play, yet there is a lack of evidence highlighting its specific factors contributing the most to children’s play. The aim of this study was to investigate the perspectives of these children about the environmental factors that are related to their play at inpatient healthcare facilities.
Methods: Twenty-seven children took part in this study. Participants were aged between 5y and 11y, diagnosed with life threatening/limiting conditions and were receiving care at either a children’s hospital or hospice in either both Kuwait or the UK.. Children were asked to rank-order the Q set according to their perceived importance. The Q set used in this study comprised of twenty-eight written and pictorial items of social and physical environmental factors. The data were analysed using factor analysis and content analysis.
Findings: Two shared viewpoints were identified, representing children from both countries. Being surrounded by others was considered important for children to play. The children had relatively little concern for having outdoor area and for the type of play activities to engage in. An exception for this was the art and craft play activities.
Conclusions: Play settings are important to support rich, social play experiences and opportunities that match their play preferences. Children living with life threatening/limiting conditions in Kuwait and the UK have relatively similar play needs.
