Abstract:
Objective:To clarify the connotation of clown care by conceptual analysis of clown care, so as to provide references for clinical nursing work.Methods:Literature related to clown care was searched in PubMed, EBSCO, Embase, CNKI, Wanfang Database and VIP, and the search period was from the establishment of the databases until August 31, 2022. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, literature was screened. The Rodgers evolutionary concept analysis method was adopted to analyze the relevant contents of clown care from aspects of development history, definition and evolution, conceptual attributes, typical cases, antecedents, consequences and identification of related concepts.Results:A total of 463 articles were retrieved, and 94 were finally included, including 8 Chinese articles and 86 English articles. At present, there was no unified and comprehensive definition of clown care. It included 5 conceptual attributes, such as support relationship, individuation, interaction, flexibility and empowerment. The antecedents included demographic, clown, and social factors, and the consequences mainly included the effect on the patient's health status, negative emotions of medical staff, clown care skills and creativity.Conclusions:Clarifying the concept of clown care can provide clear conceptual support for the research on clown care, and provide references for the construction of scientific clown care program.
