Hospitalisasi merupakan kondisi ketika anak diharuskan tinggal di rumah sakit dan menjalani perawatan sampai dibolehkan pulang. Anak yang dirawat dapat mengalami dampak hospitalisasi seperti kecemasan, malu, regresi, ketakutan mengalami nyeri fisik, kehilangan kemandirian dan kontrol sehingga diperlukan pemberian terapi bermain.

Hospitalization refers to a condition in which a child is required to stay in a hospital and undergo treatment until discharge. Children undergoing hospitalization may experience negative psychological effects such as anxiety, embarrassment, regression, fear of physical pain, and loss of autonomy and control. Therefore, the provision of play therapy is essential. This scientific paper aims to identify the optimization of play therapy room utilization using a nursing management approach, particularly focusing on the planning function-such as the development of Standard Operating Procedures-and material aspects, including facilities and infrastructure within the play therapy room. The methods employed in this paper include participatory observation, interviews, questionnaires, and Project-Based Learning (PBL). The PBL activities involved developing a draft of the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), directional signage for the play therapy room, a ward layout map, an instructional video on the use of the play therapy room, and a draft interior design of the play therapy room. The findings indicate that nurses' knowledge regarding the use of play therapy was categorized as good, and their attitudes were strongly supportive.m Project-Based Leaming resulted in the development of a draft Standard Operating Procedure, directional signage for the play therapy room, a layout map of the pediatric ward, an instructional video on the utilization of the play therapy room, and a draft interior design of the play therapy room. In conclusion, all objectives and indicators of the Project-Based Leaming initiative were achieved. It is expected that this report may serve as a foundation for further optimizing the use of play therapy rooms in hospitals through various functional and material aspects.
