Sažetak
During the past two decades the integrative approach which includes art-expressive
techniques to encourage awareness and social and emotional development has
begun to develop more intensely in the field of applied education and rehabilitation
sciences. Within the framework of childhood chronic diseases, the field of
psychosocial oncology has particular significance for the expansion of professional
competences and the development of interdisciplinary communication. The
experiences from paediatric oncology show that facing a disease and understanding
its state is very traumatic and stressful experience for the child. Therefore, the aim of
this paper is to indicate the importance of the influence of art-expressive techniques
through the application of different media as an integrative approach. The paper
aims to highlight the significance of art-expressive techniques applied to children
suffering from malignant diseases in facing the physical and emotional stress during
hospitalization. The implementation of art-expressive techniques took place in the
paediatric ward for haematology and oncology of the Clinic for Children's Diseases
in Zagreb. The significance of the psychosocial support is emphasized through the
application of children's stories, drawings and pictures which can help the child's
emotional state. The results of the monitoring of the applied techniques indicated
a positive effect on children who suffer pain and existential tension.
