Abstract
This article is based on a research study of hospitalized school-aged children's perception of stress. Forty-two different stimuli were identified through the use of a projective-type game developed by the investigator. The findings of the study did not support the hypotheses that there is a relationship between the stimuli that children perceive as stressful and their preparation for hospitalization nor their length of time in the hospital.Keywords
