Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

decision tree for Child Life: Four training sessions on decision tree for Child Life were conducted for Child Life Specialists. The training content was produced by the research team based on previous literature and clinical experience. After the training, Child Life Specialists will apply the Child Life decision tree in clinical practice to carry out Child Life intervention.

Routine Child Life intervention for children: Child Life Specialists will conduct Child Life intervention for children based on their professional knowledge and clinical experience in clinical practice.

Study summary

The purpose of this study is to understand whether the decision tree for Child Life is effective in improving the professional level and working effect of Child Life Specialists. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Does the decision tree for Child Life enhance the professional knowledge level of Child Life Specialists?
2. Has the decision tree for Child Life improved the work effectiveness of Child Life Specialists?
3. Has the application of Child Life decision trees improved children's pain levels and compliance?

Researchers will compare the intervention group and the observation group to see if the decision tree for Child Life can enhance the professional level and work effectiveness of Child Life Specialists.

Participants in the intervention group will:

1. Receive training on the application of decision trees for Child Life.
2. Apply the decision tree for Child Life to carry out intervention in Child Life intervention.
3. Participate in knowledge level tests, work effect evaluations, and record the pain levels and compliance of pediatric patients.

Participants in active comparator will:

1. Conduct Child Life intervention based on one's own experience and professional level.
2. Participate in knowledge level tests, work effect evaluations, and record the pain levels and compliance of pediatric patients.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Clinical anxiety and cooperative behavior manifestations of the child patient — From enrollment to the end of intervention at 2 months
  Before and after each intervention, researchers collected on-site the clinical anxiety and cooperative behavior manifestations of the children included in the intervention plan. The scoring range of this scale is from 0 to 5, with a total of six points. A score of 0 indicates ease, 1 indicates discomfort, 2 indicates tension, 3 indicates reluctance, 4 indicates fear, and 5 indicates loss of control. The higher the score, the more resistant the child is to treatment and the poorer the degree of cooperation. It is generally believed that children with a score of 4 or 5 are unable to cooperate with the treatment.
