Abstract

In her article, Krystyna Moczia addresses the condition of boredom experienced by students who suffer from chronic diseases. The aim of her research has been to identify the symptoms of boredom experienced by children and adolescents during long-term hospitalization and to examine the ways to help these patients to deal with the unpleasant emotions caused by boredom. Moczia asks the following research questions: How does boredom manifest itself in chronic patients? What are the ways to prevent boredom? Her approach is empirical and she has used the method of a diagnostic survey assisted by the projection technique (open-ended questions addressed to patients) and interviews (with teachers at the hospital school). Her objective has been to come up with a manual containing suggestions for students/patients: “A Phenomenal Antidote to Boredom, or Suggestions for Children Suffering from Chronic Diseases and Boredom”. This manual has been based in a brainstorming session carried out with students of educational sciences.
