Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of a novel intervention that involved contact interaction with a simulated healthcare space to reduce medical fear in children in infant class. The main question it aims to answer is: • Will the Health Friendly Program, based on the interaction with a simulate healthcare space, reduce medica fear among children in infant class? Participants will participate in the Health Friendly Program that will consist of showing the children different scenarios that simulated various medical contexts, letting them experiment with the material and ask questions. Researchers will compare two groups (intervention group and control group) to see if there exist differences between both groups in their responses to the Child Medical Fear Scale.

Health Friendly Program

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).
