Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze metacommunicative episodes comprised of nurses¡¯ metacommunicative behavior and children¡¯s responses occurring in the dyads of nurse-child within the context of an inpatient pediatric unit.
Methods: Twelve dyads of nurses and children were videotaped for four hours each day over a two-day period as they interacted with each other on the inpatient unit. The metacommunicative episodes were recorded from the videotapes. The metacommunicative behavior was categorized within Shin¡¯s metacommunicative behaviors.
Results: The total number of episodes between the nurses and children included in this study was 242. The most frequently used metacommunicative behavior was ¡¯reflection¡¯, followed by tagging, baby talk, approaching, mediating eye level, friendly demand, encouraging, description of acts, symbolization, turnabouts, touching, and mimic voice, respectively. The most common response to the nurses¡¯ metacommunicative behavior was agreeing, followed by tension release.
Conclusion: Young children responded positively to metacommunicative behavior by the nurses. Understanding metacommunicative behavior may help nurses approach their young patients more easily and with confidence.
