Abstract
The article presents a study that explores massage therapy education modalities for nurses, which would enhance understanding of massage as a brand new-patient care modality in the children’s hospital, and acceptance of massage. The study concludes that a massage translated into nurses ranking future massage therapy interventions for children and staff as more highly meaningful on a Likert-scale pre- and post-intervention.
