The objective of this collaboration is to humanize spaces to make the children's stay more pleasant and enhance the new nurse educator in children's diabetes, launched last month.
The University General Hospital of Ciudad Real (HGUCR), under the Health Service of Castilla-La Mancha, and the Lilly company have developed a project for humanization of health spaces that will make the stay of children who come to consultation and consultation more pleasantFacilitate the learning of healthy habits and key aspects about diabetes through the game.This is the second hospital in Castilla-La Mancha, after the General Hospital of Albacete, to join the initiative.
The project consists of the decoration of the waiting zone in the external pediatrics inquiries where the 'Play Zone' space has been created, an area in which children will share games with their favorite Disney characters.The objective of the collaboration agreement is to create more friendly and welcoming hospital environments for these children, which normally have to go to the hospital several times a year.
Humanize spaces and adapt them to children "allows to reduce stress levels in minors when they go to consultZone
All resources that "help children manage diabetes without fear and educate those who will be future expert patients helps improve the health system itself."With these words, Jara has thanked Lilly with the election of the General University Hospital of Ciudad Real to develop this initiative that follows the line of work of humanizing the health care that is provided in the center.
Likewise, the improvement of the spaces in the Pediatrics area coincides with the recent creation of the Nurse Education Consultation in Pediatric Diabetes that serves as a reference for some 170 children with ages between 24 months and 18 years.
For Teresa Millán, Director of Corporate Affairs of Lilly, "it is a great satisfaction to offer Ciudad Real patients this playful-formative initiative and thus expand the number of children who can enjoy this space while waiting for the consultation."
The project, included in the framework agreement recently signed between the health center and Lilly, has also been developed in other autonomous communities such as Andalusia, Canary Islands, Valencian Community, Madrid or Galicia.The initiative is still underway and will soon be extended to the pediatric pediatrics and endocrinology services of other hospitals distributed by the Spanish geography, explained the head of Lilly.
Standardization of diabetes in childhood
In the "Play Zone", which includes stories, tables and chairs for children to play and paint, in addition to many decorative elements, children will find their favorite Disney characters, among which is Coco, the first of the familyDisney with diabetes and protagonist of the story "Coco and Goofy on Goofy's birthday."This character helps the little ones to understand that a minor with this disease can enjoy the same activities as other children of their age, provided that they plan and act according to the requirements of this pathology.
This character arises thanks to a worldwide agreement reached in 2011 by Lilly and Disney, which seeks to normalize diabetes and reduce its impact on childhood with a positive message against the disease.
