Same-Day Surgery Preparation: Reduction of Pediatric Patient Arousal and Distress through Participant Modeling.
Faust, Jan; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v59 n3 p475-78 Jun 1991
Children (n=26) were exposed to one of three surgery preparatory conditions: participant modeling alone, participant modeling with mother, and standard procedure control. Children exposed to modeling alone had significant reductions in physiological arousal after treatment compared to other groups. Both modeling groups exhibited significantly fewer distressful behaviors during recovery than did controls. (Author/NB)
