Moreover, children represent an especially vulnerable age group among surgical patients and thus the need for providing them with reliable information about their health becomes more and more pertinent. Despite the voluminous body of research citing the advantages of preoperative psychological preparation for surgery, little attention has been given to the clinical relevance of preparatory interventions and their transferability to existing clinical settings. The purpose of the present study was to address this gap by exploring the clinical relevance of a 15-minute preoperative information booklet for children, parents and the nursing staff and by assessing the feasibility of preoperative preparation in the health care setting. It was shown that preoperative preparation is a promising intervention that can serve both as a communicative tool between the child and the health professional as well as a preventive measure for enhancing children's cooperation and reducing health professionals' perceived workload.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Marianna Gotovou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3832524401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783832524401\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Logos Verlag Berlin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Marianna Gotovou","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48450120384767,"sku":"9783832524401","price":56.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1884a3a-a9ea-431d-9f8f-3a287fcf3e99.jpg?v=1777266302","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/investigating-the-effects-of-a-marianna-gotovou-9783832524401","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
