Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

There is no effect of a parent-directed fact sheet about pain management during childhood immunization and pre-test on parent learning about evidence-based pain relieving methods.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Over 90% of young children demonstrate severe distress during vaccination. Pain relieving strategies are uncommonly used, despite a plethora of evidence for physical, pharmacological and psychological techniques. Parents commonly report pain as a harm-related concern for childhood immunizations and are dissatisfied with current practices. Unmitigated pain causes long-term adverse sequelae, including; anticipatory fear and hypersensitivity to pain at future procedures in children, and parental non-compliance with immunization schedules. Health providers and parents report the major barrier to routine use of pain management is parental lack of knowledge about effective strategies. Lack of time is reported as a secondary barrier. An educational tool about immunization pain management targeted to parents that can be practically implemented in the clinical setting within usual time constraints is needed.
