Beskrivning

Procedure induced anxiety affects the majority of children undergoing medical intervention and has been directly linked to behaviour disturbances, psychological trauma, phobias and symptoms of PTSD. Despite this, there is currently no formal training relating to the management of procedure induced anxiety for medical personnel caring for children. A distillation of more than eighty years of research, this textbook examines the nature, prevalence and consequences of anxiety in children, alongside evidence-based strategies for its effective management. Designed as a training manual, it includes a comprehensive account of positive and negative aspects of behaviour that contribute to the successful management of anxious children. Chapters cover topics such as non-verbal and verbal communication, enhanced communication management strategies, support of children with autistic spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning difficulties, the use of premedication and the role that families play. Essential reading for anaesthetists and paediatricians and a valuable resource for any practitioner working with children.

Recensioner i media

'Educational and enlightening, this book is like turning a light on with regards to how children feel and behave when they get anxious and stressed. All healthcare professionals will find it incredibly useful for understanding how the children actually feel and their response to fear caused by medical intervention and how this can develop into a major phobia. This book teaches us about behaviour and shows us how we can modify what we do and how we do it to positively influence the children we care for. The techniques and strategies described made me reconsider and change how I behave around both children in a healthcare setting and my own children. This is rare in a 'textbook' and I would urge anyone working with children throughout healthcare to read and treasure it.'
