VerifiedIn general,there are two main psychological approaches to helping children cope with stressful medical procedures and chronic and recurrent pain: providing information and training them in coping skills (Thompson & Gustafson,1996).Information strategies offer verbal explanations and demonstrations as well as modeling the procedure,which reduce distress because this makes the medical procedure more predictable (Jaaniste,Hayes,& von Baeyer,2007). Coping strategies involve teaching the various coping skills of deep breathing,attention distraction muscle relaxation,relaxing imagery,emotive imagery,and behavioral rehearsal .Children are encouraged to identify specific stressors associated with their illness (e.g.,giving themselves an injection)and to learn ways to handle those stressors and prevent distress or failure.
