Day Surgery Clinical Trial
Official title:
Measuring Patient Experiences in a Children's Hospital With a Medical Clowning Intervention: A Case-Control Study
A case-control study is conducted in Helsinki Children's hospital. Altogether 70 children aged 4-17 years coming for a minor operative procedure including pre-operative cannula insertion will be included. Part of the patients will be exposed to medical clowning intervention and the reference group will be treated preoperatively as routinely without clowns. Emotions, anxiety levels, pain caused by the cannula insertion of the children will be monitored during the day. A survey on the emotions and expectations of the parents will be done.
This study aims to measure experiences of children and their parents during day-surgery in
hospital setting.
A case-control study is conducted in Helsinki Children's hospital. Altogether 70 children
aged 4-17 years coming for a minor operative procedure including pre-operative cannula
insertion will be included. Part of the patients will be exposed to medical clowning
intervention and the reference group will be treated preoperatively as routinely without
clowns. Emotions, anxiety levels, pain caused by the cannula insertion of the children will
be monitored during the day. A survey on the emotions and expectations of the parents will be
done.
A novel digital survey tool will be used to measure patient experiences before and after the
insertion of a venous cannula needed for anaesthesia.
The research questions are as follows:
How does engagement with a medical clown during pre-operative cannulation impact on children
and their parents' patient experience? How feasible is a novel data collection tool for
measuring patient experience and the impact of an intervention on the patient experience of
families?
