Reports to CE Broker
Medical procedures vary in their invasiveness, duration, frequency and painfulness, but share common elements that can be stressful for children, such as loss of control, exposure to unfamiliar people, sights and sounds, and separation from parents. Not surprisingly, negative emotional and behavioral reactions to procedures are not uncommon, and range from verbal expressions of discomfort, to resistance, physical protest and refusal to cooperate. This course provides health professionals with knowledge and behavioral strategies to help children and their parents cope with a range of medical procedures, from well-care procedures (e.g., immunizations, blood draws) to diagnostic studies (e.g., endoscopies, urodynamic studies) to treatment (e.g., catheterizations, surgery). The course reviews common predictors of medical anxiety, and provides an overview of developmental and psychological factors that can impact patients’ reactions to procedures. It also provides an overview of effective strategies health professionals can implement to reduce distress and promote coping for both patients and parents.
