Nursery School Children's Views on the Causality of Illness

Simon R. Wilkinson

Correspondence to: Simon R. Wilkinson, MD, MRCPsych, Psykiatrisk Poliklinikk for Follo, Jernbaneveien 4, 1400 SKI, Norway

A study of Scottish nursery school children shows how they construct their world of illness using the images provided in the nursery and home. An awareness of children's perceptions of the world of illness enables professionals to establish helpful clinical relationships. The ways in which children handle images and respond to the questions of adults suggest that health education strategies should be reviewed.
