Abstract

<p> The purpose of this interventional study was to identify elements of self-care support that promote autonomous health management from early childhood among children with biliary atresia living at home, as well as subsequent changes related to self-care in such children and their parents. Intervention was provided for 3 children aged 5-7 years, aiming to promote their autonomous health management behaviors and their parents’ supportive behaviors. Consequently, the children began to make more decisions about their own bodies, communicate necessary information to others, and act independently, while the parents became able to support the children through supportive observation. Analysis of the actual support revealed 5 directions of support and 14 specific approaches. The changes related to self-care observed in children with biliary atresia in early childhood and their parents highlight the importance of objective nursing assessment, as well as nursing support aimed at enhancing self-efficacy in such children by giving consideration to their and their parents’ feelings, and promoting the former’s awareness and interests.</p>
