Abstract:
In childhood, hospital admission is frequently seen as something
unexplanable and close to a “punishment”. Involving
parents/caretakers in the process of care is critical for the child to
cope with the distress arising from hospital contacts and medical
procedures.
However, some grey zone remains for common procedures as
venipuncture in hospital and ambulatory settings.
We have conducted a literature review, searching for articles
focused on procedural distress reduction/control in children.
Several studies show that communication play a critical role and
that children as young as 5 are able to “read” the way nurses and
doctors interact with them and their approach is very important
in reducing procedural distress. However, children attitude toward
communication of health information may not be so linear,
because they tend to continuously shift from a position of “passive
bystander” to a “active participant” one, and viceversa. Nurse’s
role is crucial for the reduction of procedural distress because of
her/his frequent contact with the young patients, but often she/he
does not have the skills to help children to cope with procedural
distress. Several approaches to this issue are discussed.
