HC And – Når mor eller far har kræft

”HC And – Når mor eller far har kræft” er udviklet i et samarbejde mellem Onkologisk afdeling R, H.C. Andersen Børne- og Ungehospital, Odense Universitetshospital, indlagte børn og deres familier og 10:30 Visuel Kommunikation.

HC And er patientinformation for børn i alderen 4-7 år og har til formål at forberede og mindske utrygheden hos børn for hvem mange hospitalsbegreber er helt ukendte.

”HC And - Når mor eller far har kræft” er en introduktion til et generelt kræftpatientforløb på hospitalet for de yngste børn, deres familie og omgangskreds. Informationen er med speak - af en barnestemme - og animation i genren ”Læring gennem leg med computer/tablet”.

Børn i denne aldersgruppe lærer og erkender ved leg og konkret information. Børn - som pårørende til kræftpatienter - kan hurtigt blive “fyldt op” med en masse information. Derfor er HC And bygget op af korte sekvenser i børnehøjde, så “nye” kan starte her.

Indholdet består af 7 sceneopbyggede historier, som besvarer spørgsmål om kræft, kemo- og strålebehandling. Hospitalspersonale kan bruge dette materiale som et pædagogisk værktøj til at skabe en fælles forståelsesramme med barnet.

HC And er til fri download for alle.

"HC And - When Mom or Dad Has Cancer" was developed in a collaboration between Oncology Department R, H.C. Andersen Children's and Youth Hospital, Odense University Hospital, hospitalized children and their families and 10:30 Visual Communication.

HC And is patient information for children aged 4-7 years and aims to prepare and reduce the insecurity of children for whom many hospital concepts are completely unknown.

"HC And - When Mom or Dad Has Cancer" is an introduction to a general cancer patient course in the hospital for the youngest children, their family and social circle. The information is with speak - of a children's voice - and animation in the genre "Learning through play with computer / tablet".

Children in this age group learn and recognize by play and concrete information. Children - like relatives of cancer patients - can quickly be "filled up" with a lot of information. That's why HC And is made up of short child-height sequences so that "new" can start here.

The content consists of 7 stage-built stories that answer questions about cancer, chemo and radiation therapy. Hospital staff can use this material as an educational tool to create a common frame of understanding with the child.

HC And is free to download for everyone.
