“…According to the International Association for the Study of Pain, “pain is always a personal experience that is influenced to varying degrees by biological, psychological, and social factors” [ 1 ]. Studies estimate that as many as half of children with acute or chronic illnesses experience procedure-related pain and distress [ 2 ]. In the short term, pain can manifest as withdrawal, clinginess, moodiness, or anger.…”

Background Children with acute and chronic illness undergo frequent, painful, and distressing procedures. Objective This randomized controlled trial was used to evaluate the effectiveness of guided imagery (GI) versus virtual reality (VR) on the procedural pain and state anxiety of children and young adults undergoing unsedated procedures. We explored the role of trait anxiety and pain catastrophizing in intervention response. Methods Children and young adults were recruited from the hematology, oncology, and blood and marrow transplant clinics at a children’s hospital. Each study participant completed the GI and VR intervention during separate but consecutive unsedated procedures. Self-report measures of pain and anxiety were completed before and after the procedures. Results A total of 50 participants (median age 13 years) completed both interventions. GI and VR performed similarly in the management of procedural pain. Those with high pain catastrophizing reported experiencing less nervousness about pain during procedures that used VR than those using GI. State anxiety declined pre- to postprocedure in both interventions; however, the decrease reached the level of significance during the VR intervention only. Those with high trait anxiety had less pain during GI. Conclusions In our sample, VR worked as well as GI to manage the pain and distress associated with common procedures experienced by children with acute or chronic illnesses. Children who are primed for pain based on beliefs about pain or because of their history of chronic pain had a better response to VR. GI was a better intervention for those with high trait anxiety.

“…The definition, connotation, and extension of children in difficulty are a controversial issue in academic circles. In academic research, scholars use a broader concept, which refers to all children whose survival and development are in trouble because of poverty, disease, accident, neglect, and family abuse (Sobol-Kwapińska et al, 2020 ). The early concept of children in plight comes from the description in child welfare policy of international organizations, such as “children living in extreme distress (Hoyt et al, 1997 ).” Moreover, terms such as “special needs”, “special hardship”, “social disadvantage”, “most vulnerable”, and “in need of help” vary from time to time, which express the life situation of children in difficulties (Benn et al, 2020 ).…”

The purpose is to solve the problem that the current research on the impact of the microstructure of mental elasticity and its constituent factors on the development of the mental elasticity of children is not comprehensive, and the traditional artificial analysis method of mental problems has strong subjectivity and low accuracy. First, the structural equation model is used to study the microstructure of poor children's mental elasticity, and to explore the structural relationship and functional path between the mental elasticity of children and the self-efficacy of their mental health, psychological anxiety, and attachment. Second, a prediction model of mental problems of children in plight based on the backpropagation neural network (BPNN) is constructed. Finally, middle schools in the representative areas of Northwest China are selected as the research unit. The relevant research data are collected by issuing questionnaires, and the data set is constructed to verify the performance of the model. The experimental results show that the average prediction errors of the BPNN model and the support vector regression (SVR) model are 1.87 and 5.4, respectively. The error of BPNN is 65.4% lower than that of SVR, so BPNN has a better performance. The prediction results of the test set show that the actual error and the relative error of the BPNN model are controlled in the range of 0.01, and the prediction accuracy is high. The structural equation model has a high fitting degree. The results of the questionnaire analysis show that attachment, self-efficacy, and psychological anxiety exert a significant direct impact on mental elasticity. This exploration aims to conduct a micro investigation on the relationship among the three core variables (attachment, self-efficacy, and mental health) in the resilience research of children in plight, and analyze their resilience, to provide a theoretical basis for the resilience intervention design of vulnerable groups.

“…For our first objective, we expected that previously demonstrated relations between parent behavior and child behavior 4,6,18,28,29 would be supported in this sample and extended to children's self-reports of pain and fear. For example, individual parent "coping promoting" behaviors (i.e., distraction, humor, commands to engage in a coping strategy), and "distress promoting" behaviors (i.e., reassurance, giving control to the child, apology, empathy, criticism) would be associated with increased and decreased child coping in this sample, respectively.…”

“…14,17 In the context of painful procedures, parent empathy emerged as a strong predictor of children's distress and pain in a recent meta-analysis. 18 However, nuances in these relations, such as the role of parent state distress in the association of parent empathy and child outcomes, are not well understood. For example, Emery and colleagues 16 demonstrated that maternal empathy was related to increased sensitivity to their children when mothers were reporting low, and not high, negative emotional reactivity.…”

“…40 Additionally, in Sobol-Kwapinska and colleagues' 2020 systematic review, less than 20% included child self-reported pain. 18 Indeed, child self-report of fear and pain have frequently been omitted from studies that have instead focused on behavioral measures of child distress, 44 or observer reports. 21 Self-reported pain and fear ratings are vital as pain is inherently subjective, and proxy-ratings are often underestimated.…”

Background:The social context is critical to children's pain, and parents frequently form a major aspect of this context. We addressed several gaps in our understanding of parent-child interactions during painful procedures and identified intrapersonal contributions to parental affective responses and behaviors. We used the Pain Empathy Model framework to examine parent-child interactions during venipuncture to determine predictors of parent distraction and reassurance. Aims:We examined relations among parent and child behaviors along with parent fear, and child pain and fear. We empirically tested the contribution of top-down influences in predicting the use of two common parent utterances, reassurance and distraction during venipuncture, including parent beliefs about these behaviors.Methods: Venipunctures of 100, 5-10-year-old children were filmed, and parent-child interactions were coded using the full 35 item Child Adult Medical Procedure Interaction Scale. Two codes were of particular interest: reassurance and distraction. Self-report measures included child fear and pain, parent fear, trait anxiety, empathy, pain catastrophizing, and beliefs about reassurance and distraction.Results: Findings supported original CAMPIS codes linking parent "distress-promoting" behaviors with poorer child outcomes and parent "coping-promoting" behaviors with improved child outcomes. Parent traits accounted for a small portion of the variance in parent reassurance and distraction.Conclusions: Findings are consistent with research on coping and distress promoting behaviors.Using a novel framework of the Pain Empathy Model, we found that parent traits largely did not predict their procedural behaviors, which were more strongly related to child distress behaviors during the needle and parent beliefs about the behaviors.
