“…In summary, preoperative preparation, when properly developed and implemented, can have positive effects in children and their parents (Jaaniste et al, 2007), which may allow healthcare staff to interact with more prepared and wellinformed patients. Preparation tools can be more effective, less costly and readily available, without requiring excessive time or resources (Horne et al, 1994) to implement or develop, since it is has been considered one of the most effective interventions for children at the operational development stage (LeRoy et al, 2003).…”

“…12 For example, researchers have documented that preparation helps children face a range of stressful events including anesthesia induction and surgery, 13,14 dental procedures, 15 magnetic resonance imaging, 16 hospitalization, 17,18 and ear piercing. 19 There have been fewer studies on venous access, but the data that exist are consistent with those from other medical stressors.…”

Behavioral Approaches to Anxiety and Pain Management for Pediatric Venous Access

2008

Pediatric venous access causes unnecessary anxiety and pain in children and, in turn, can have detrimental consequences. Behavioral approaches to pediatric venous access distress management can be organized temporally. Specifically, preparation before the procedure includes providing children with sensory and procedural information in an age-appropriate manner and providing training in coping skills. It is important to consider the timing, format, and content of the approach to provide optimal preparation for the unique circumstances of the individual patient. In addition to the child patient, preparing parents and teaching them which specific behaviors might be most helpful to their child should prove valuable to both patient and parents. During the procedure, there are benefits to providing secure and comfortable positioning. In addition, researchers recommend that adults encourage children to cope and actively engage children in distracting activities. For infants, there is support for the distress-mitigation properties of swaddling, skin-to-skin contact, breastfeeding, and sucrose. After venous access, distraction and encouragement of coping should speed recovery. In sum, research in behavioral approaches to pediatric pain management has provided recommendations for minimizing children's anxiety and pain associated with venous access. Pediatrics 2008;122:S134-S139 P EDIATRIC PAIN FROM medical procedures results in short-term suffering, but there are recent data to indicate that there are also long-term detrimental effects. Specifically, early painful insults might have lasting negative effects on neuronal development, pain threshold and sensitivity, coping strategies, emotionality, and pain perceptions. 1,2 As an example, Bijttebier and Vertommen 3 showed that children with a history of negative medical experiences showed high anxiety before venipuncture and were distressed and uncooperative during the procedure. Childhood medical pain has also been linked to later adulthood fear, pain, and avoidance of medical care. 4 In addition, high pain at medical visits predicts missed future medical appointments and poor health care follow-up. [5][6][7] Fortunately, there is a rich body of data supporting behavioral strategies that mitigate the anxiety and pain associated with pediatric medical procedures generally, 8 and children's needle-related pain in particular. 9 Nonpharmacologic or behavioral approaches to acute pediatric pain are rooted in the gate-control theory. 10,11 The theory suggests that descending nerve impulses from the brain, such as thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and attention, can influence the ascending pain signal from the tissue damage. For example, anxiety might heighten pain experience, whereas attention focused on a pleasant activity might decrease pain. Thus, behavioral interventions typically involve teaching coping, inducing relaxation, or providing distraction. Although literature documenting the efficacy of behavioral interventions for children's acute medical pain exists, the data...

“…To distract a child which in-turn may reduce anxiety for the child must be beneficial. When a child is less anxious, studies report; reduced pain levels (Benore & Enlow, 2013;DeMaso & Snell, 2013;Gilboy & Hollywood, 2009), reduced nursing time and importantly a more positive hospital experience (Jaaniste, Hayes, & Von Baeyer, 2007;Koller & Goldman, 2012). Not only is the distraction and ultimately reduced anxiety important for the child, but also the parent or caregiver.…”

Puppets in an acute paediatric unit: Nurse’s experiences

et al. 2017

a b s t r a c tPuppets have been used for play and in education with children in a variety of contexts, including health care. There is however a dearth of literature that explains nurses' experiences when using puppets in a paediatric health care context nor any process to guide how they use puppets. In 2007 an educational framework called the Pup-Ed (KRS Simulation) was developed to assist nurses and educators in using puppets. In 2012 nurses (n = 13) from a regional paediatric acute care setting, who had been educated in the Pup-Ed (KRS Simulation) framework, described their experiences using puppets when caring for sick children. Participants reported that the principles of the Pup-Ed (KRS Simulation) framework including the users' knowledge/hidden nurse, a consistent history and silent voice all contributed to the central theme called connecting to optimise care. The puppets were a means to educate the children and were a source of distraction from unpleasant procedures. Additionally the puppets were a strategy to reduce fear and break down barriers for the child especially when undergoing procedures. When using the puppets participants identified that infection transfer was something to be considered and not all nurses felt comfortable using the puppets. A lack of confidence and time were identified as barriers to using the puppets. The findings from this study have been valuable in establishing recommendations for future puppet use.
