Trauma-free care for sick children Drawing blood, inserting an IV, or looking into the ear; even seemingly simple medical procedures can cause anxiety, pain, and stress in children. According to pediatric intensivist Piet Leroy, comfort and trust are just as important as the medical treatment itself. He is researching how healthcare providers can offer trauma-free care and how they can learn to apply comfort care. "A sick child doesn't understand why an examination or treatment is necessary, and will resist," explains Leroy. "Soon, the situation escalates because healthcare providers want to thoroughly examine and treat the child. However, being restrained just once to look into their ears can be a very unpleasant experience for a child that they will remember."

Research into the unique needs of children, adolescents, and their accompanying adults in healthcare, reveals a crucial shift towards holistic and engaging environments. Imagine a healthcare experience where anxiety gives way to curiosity and discomfort transforms into a sense of control. Three things that create a better pediatric experience are: engaging curiosity, incorporating movement and sensory experiences, and tailoring environments to different ages and abilities. Key design principles to keep in mind when designing pediatric healthcare spaces include encouraging play and positive distraction, designing for a variety of ages, incorporating natural elements, and embracing flexibility - we look to tick all these boxes here at KwickScreen.  Picture waiting areas filled with furniture that not only encourages mobility but sparks curiosity – where children can arrange and rearrange their space. Our retractable screens are fully mobile and can be deployed as and when there is a need. They are fully customisable making it easier to incorporate elements of nature into your space. Let’s create pediatric healthcare spaces that go beyond treatment and embrace the emotional and psychological well-being of young patients. Explore a new chapter in healthcare design – one that prioritizes engagement, comfort, and innovation. #PediatricHealthcare #InnovationInDesign #KwickScreen

The alarming squeeze on pediatric care: navigating reduced time for teen well-child checks In academic settings, I've noticed that administrators are increasingly pressuring pediatricians to reduce the duration of teen well-child checks from 30 to 20 minutes. This is concerning. I firmly believe that our role is indispensable and cannot be compromised in such a manner. It's crucial to recognize our value; if we start doubting our necessity, the administration will likely intensify their demands. Establishing boundaries is essential, even if it's a new experience for us. If setting a boundary results in dismissal, it's not necessarily negative. It can be a protective measure, saving us from future, possibly more intense pressures. It's important to understand and respect our professional limits. Starting with small steps is key. There's no need for grand gestures; subtle yet firm boundary setting can be very effective. Sogol P. is a board-certified pediatrician, co-founder, managing partner, and CEO, ABC Pediatric Clinic.
