Pediatric massage, such as pediatric <jats:italic>Tuina<\/jats:italic>, entails soft massage of the skin, administered by trained providers. This non-pharmaceutical measure is used to prevent new respiratory infections in China. The aim of this study is to deepen our understanding of caregivers\u2019 experiences and perceptions of providing pediatric <jats:italic>Tuina<\/jats:italic> treatment to their children with recurrent respiratory tract infections.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A qualitative study, based on semi-structured interviews, was conducted in accordance with the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist. Sixteen mothers from Southern China, whose children had received pediatric <jats:italic>Tuina<\/jats:italic> for recurrent respiratory tract infections, participated online. Analysis was conducted according to the principles of reflexive thematic analysis, using the NVivo qualitative research software.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>The overarching theme was \u201cFostering embodied care with children\u201d. Caregivers assessed pediatric <jats:italic>Tuina<\/jats:italic> by hearing others\u2019 experiences of pediatric <jats:italic>Tuina<\/jats:italic>, as well as observing the manipulations on their child\u2019s body and their bodily reactions during pediatric <jats:italic>Tuina<\/jats:italic> sessions. Caregivers also closely observed children\u2019s bodily changes after pediatric <jats:italic>Tuina<\/jats:italic> sessions. Embodied attachment between children and adults was nurtured through the pediatric <jats:italic>Tuina<\/jats:italic>. Compared to other treatments or medical consultations, children were more relaxed and more involved in embodied care, which involved direct skin touching and verbal communication from the pediatric <jats:italic>Tuina<\/jats:italic> provider. Children also took the initiative to bring pediatric <jats:italic>Tuina<\/jats:italic> into their family life, by asking caregivers to perform it on them and mimicking the manipulations on the caregivers\u2019 hand.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Pediatric <jats:italic>Tuina<\/jats:italic> served as a means of interaction between children and adults, fostering an embodied care on both a physical and emotional level. Beyond its potentially preventive effect on recurrent respiratory tract infections, pediatric <jats:italic>Tuina<\/jats:italic> could be a support for parents of children with recurrent or chronic disease at home.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12906-024-04660-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]],"date-time":"2024-10-07T11:02:01Z","timestamp":1728298921000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["\u201cShe mimicked the manipulations on my hand\u201d: fostering embodied care among children with recurrent acute respiratory tract infections in Southern China"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Lingjia","family":"Yin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bei","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cecilia St\u00e5lsby","family":"Lundborg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Darong","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helle M\u00f8lsted","family":"Alvesson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"4660_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e31039","DOI":"10.5812\/pedinfect.31039","volume":"4","author":"UB Schaad","year":"2015","unstructured":"Schaad UB, Esposito S, Razi CH.
