The study is guided by Jean Watson Theory. The theory was developed in 1988 in a bid to assist nurses meet the healing needs of patients in a holistic manner (Watson, & Woodward, 2020). The theory encompasses ten carative factors that nurses are expected to use to achieve desired patient outcomes. The suitability of the theory with regard to the research topic is based on the position that it offers easy-to-follow while at the same time a comprehensive view of expected levels of holistic care and patient-centeredness (Savieto, & Leão, 2016). This makes it possible to not only identify the major determinants of delay in treatment but also identify ways of achieving desired patient outcomes among pediatric malaria patients. The Jean Watson Theory views human beings as a whole (Rosa et al., 2020). In this regard, it considers the psychological, biological, and social components that need to be balanced in a way that would promote health and overall wellbeing. The Jean Watson Theory seeks to guide healthcare professionals especially pediatricians in providing holistic care that will meet the healing as well as well-being needs of pediatric malaria patients together with their respective families comprehensively. Furthermore, the theory instills a predefined doctrine that is pegged with the belief that nursing care represents a sacred science that incorporates artistic as well as scientific principles (Watson, & Woodward, 2020). In as much as professionals and established conventions would depict nursing care as an area that was derived from scientific principles such as the pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches, it is also based on the art of care. The art of care entails altruistic human interaction. Extrapolating from this position, the aforementioned theory will help nurses as well as other healthcare professionals in meeting the healing as well as the well-being of pediatric malaria patients in a manner that takes care of the three critical healing dimensions (the mind, body, and soul). Besides taking care of the highlighted dimensions, the Jean Watson Theory is pegged with the concept of transpersonal caring that has a significant impact in the modern-day care provision especially in settings that necessitate disease prevention, management, and overall healthcare promotion. As such, the transpersonal caring concept vies nursing care as the existence of an interpersonal relationship between the nurse and patient (Watson, & Woodward, 2020). Through such a connection sound therapeutic relationship evolves. In this perspective, the success of administered nursing interventions to not only malaria patients who are below five

years old but also other patients outside the age bracket is tethered on the quality of the existing connection or relationship between the nurse and the patient. Key Concepts of the Jean Watson Theory Watson's Theory is based on four main concepts. These concepts consist of the person (patient), environment, nursing, and health (roles, goals, and functions). Extrapolating from the confines of the theory, the patient (person)is valued, taken care of, understood, and nurtured. As such, the value of a person is greater than that of his or her body parts. On the other hand, the concept of health from Watson’s perspective is an addition to the theory that was already developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) (Wei, & Watson, 2019). According to the theory, health is depicted as the full functioning of social, physical, and mental aspects of a person. The absence of any health-related disorder as well as general adaptation to daily functioning are also considered as part of the definition of health. The concept of environment is tagged along with caring. Most importantly, the environment changes depending on the existing generation to adapt to the changing times (Watson, & Woodward, 2020). Lastly, the concept of nursing focuses on promoting while at the same time improving the general wellness of patients. The concept of nursing aims at understanding human science based on ethical human transactions. The Jean Watson Theory depicts the existence of a sheer agreement between the abovementioned concepts. Each of the concepts is inter-related and pivoted on the nursing process. Notably, the patient (person) exhibits functional integrity by constantly interacting with the environment. This interaction determines the quality of life that a person enjoys (Rosa et al., 2020). In a situation whereby the interaction is of low quality and fails to support an individual’s well-being, illness occurs. In such a situation, the nurse plays the role of conducting patient- centered assessment based on the identified needs and brings on board the missing ‘carative factors.’ Such a strategy promotes and restores health and overall well-being (Savieto, & Leão, 2016). The Jean Watson Theory tends to propose as well as several assumptions regarding healthcare. The first assumption is based on the position that quality health care can be attained through interpersonal communication. A major characteristic of result-oriented interpersonal communication. Interpersonal communications promote interaction in a manner that upholds effective communication (Savieto, & Leão, 2016). For instance, listening to patient's issues gives

nurses the opportunity to effectively attend to patient's needs thus promote good health. The theory also promotes the assumption that quality caring involves personal as well as family needs. Furthermore, the theory treats the holistic growth of an individual as a more important factor than just the persons' physical wellbeing (Rosa et al., 2020). The third assumption is derived from the fact that the science of caring compliments the one of curing. In this regard, when one fails to take care of his or her body appropriately, healthcare professionals will handle the issue by introducing a curing intervention.
