Detailed Description

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

This study seeks to inspect the influence of a child-centered communication (CCC) on anesthesia use in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams among four- to 10-year-old children. Children's levels of anxiety and satisfaction with the interaction also are assessed. Children are divided into three groups by order of arrival. Group 1 receives routine information about the MRI and simulates it with an MRI toy (EG1). Group 2 simulates the exam with the toy and receives the CCC. These two groups are compared with a third group of children who had received only the routine information about the exam and who served as a comparison group (CG).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Child-centered communication

The child's preparation for the MRI scanning is conducted using a child-centered communication type of interaction

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Child-centered communication

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The child is asked for ideas, fears and concerns regarding the magnetic resonance imaging exam and responses are tailored to these individual needs

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Simulation Toy

The child's preparation for the MRI scanning is conducted through provision of general information about the MRI exam simulated with an MRI toy

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Child-centered communication

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

The child is asked for ideas, fears and concerns regarding the magnetic resonance imaging exam and responses are tailored to these individual needs

General information about the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) exam

The child's preparation for the MRI scanning is based on the provision of routine information about the MRI exam
