Patient Emotional Safety in Pediatric Healthcare
Published July 13, 2021
As healthcare professionals, we know that it is our professional and ethical duty to keep our patients physically safe while we care for them. What is equally imperative, but hardly addressed, is keeping our patients emotionally safe as well. Children are especially vulnerable to fear and pain when receiving medical care, which can have negative health-related quality-of-life outcomes. Creating an emotionally safe environment for pediatric patients means incorporating developmental and emotional needs into their treatment plan. In this presentation, we will explore interventions and initiatives that ensure the emotional safety of pediatric patients.
