Hospitalization can have traumatic effects on children and their families, highlighting the importance of trauma-informed care in pediatric nursing. Post-hospitalization trauma, anxiety, and depression are frequently observed in both children and parents, negatively affecting health outcomes and treatment adherence. Since trauma-informed care requires a child- and family-centered, safe, and sensitive approach, educating nursing students on this topic is essential. However, this training is often insufficient in nursing curricula, and its abstract and emotionally challenging nature may hinder students' learning. In this context, the LEGO® Serious Play® method, which helps concretize abstract experiences and supports interactive learning, may serve as an effective educational tool. This study aims to evaluate the effects of trauma-informed pediatric care education delivered through the LSP method on nursing students' knowledge, self-confidence, and satisfaction.
