Abstract

Registered nurses have voluntarily created hand casts for families, providing comfort during challenging moments. Hand casting moves the patient's family and nurses. As requested by parents, staff apply a quick-drying gel to sick children's hands and feet. After preparing the gel mold, alginate molding powder is poured in and hardened for many days. Parents mourn their children with great sensitivity. Every mold and hospital bedside we go to offers closure to the lost child's dying moments. A compelling benefit of a three-dimensional hand-cast is preserving a passing moment.

癌症晚期患儿的手模可为悲痛的家庭带来安慰。
注册护士自愿为家属制作手模,在充满挑战的时刻为他们提供安慰。手部石膏让病人家属和护士都很感动。根据家长的要求,工作人员在病童的手脚上涂上快干凝胶。准备好凝胶模具后,倒入藻酸盐模塑粉,经过多日硬化。家长们怀着无比敏感的心情悼念自己的孩子。我们所到的每一个模具和病床前,都为失去的孩子的临终时刻画上了句号。三维手模的一个显著优势就是保留了逝去的瞬间。
