In domestic violence (DV) shelters, offering psychosocial support services to mothers and children is vital. The program 'Time for Tony the Turtle' has been developed for mothers and children residing in DV shelters in the Netherlands. It aims to foster attachment and regulation skills, which can also prepare for trauma treatment if sought after later on. This qualitative study explores the experiences of mothers, children and professionals with the program and its perceived impact and what components function as facilitators and barriers in the implementation of such a program in DV crisis shelters in the Netherlands. We conducted in-depth interviews with 15 mothers, 11 children and 18 professionals from three organizations offering DV shelters. We used thematic analysis to identify patterns of meaning in the interviews.Mothers, children and professionals valued that the program provided a calm moment for reflection in hectic times and that the playfulness in which the program addressed trauma-related topics. However, mothers find it difficult to attend the program in the beginning of their shelter stay, therefore hampering the applicability of the program. Our findings suggest that integrating the topic of discussing father in a program in crisis shelters is complex and deserves more attention.

The use of hand puppets with children aims to identify fears and misunderstandings about what is happening to them [8]. Nurses will tell stories using hand puppets, while the stories they will tell will contain meaningful elements or stories about activities in the hospital [7].…”

Thalassemia is a disease that is passed from parents to their children in the womb which results in sufferers having to undergo regular blood transfusions to increase hemoglobin levels in the blood. Routine transfusions can cause psychological impacts such as anxiety in children. Playing is an effective way to reduce anxiety in children and can be a diversion or relaxation. The aim of the case study is that researchers are able to carry out nursing implementation of distraction techniques: play therapy (dolls) with anxiety problems in thalassemia children.
