"Evaluation of the Health Friendly Program to Reduce Children's Fear of the Healthcare Environment."

"The intervention, known as the Health-Friendly Programme, took place at the Clinical Skills and Simulation Centre of the Public University of Navarre. The intervention consisted of showing the children different scenarios that simulated various medical contexts, letting them experiment with the material and ask questions.~The structure and content of the intervention were intended to address two main issues. First, the health contexts with which school-age children may come into contact with; these are a consultation at a health centre and a hospital room. Second, the concerns, in relation to intrapersonal, procedural, environmental and interpersonal aspects, experienced by children when they interact with health care professionals or they are sick.~As reference material, the intervention is described in detail in the guide about the Health-Friendly Programme (Escalada-Hernández et al., 2021)."
