Behavioral Intervention to Reduce Child and Parent Distress during Venipuncture.
Manne, Sharon L.; And Others
Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, v58 n5 p565-72 Oct 1990
Investigated behavioral intervention to control child distress during invasive cancer treatment. Children (n=23) requiring physical restraint to complete venipuncture were alternately assigned to behavioral intervention or attention control condition. Observed child distress, parent-rated child distress, and parent ratings of own distress were significantly reduced by behavioral intervention and were maintained across three intervention trials.
