Don’t be afraid of surgery! Comic monkey takes pediatric patients by the hand

Guest post by Claudia Thomas & Anne Schirrmeister A large body of evidence indicates that dealing with pediatric patients’ anxiety prior to surgical interventions is not optimal, and that this is true worldwide. Literature shows that preoperative anxiety results in increased pain after surgery, a higher incidence of postoperative delirium and longer hospital stays. In addition, behavioral disorders like enuresis nocturna and separation anxiety as well as sleep disorders and nightmares often occur.   Developing easy-to-use and standardized tools for reducing preoperative anxiety in children could be an approach to address this problem. Using the ability of imagination and magic thinking… Read More

Kirsty Locker writes: ‘Oxleas NHS are looking for an artist to work on a project in conjunction with Swaleside prison. At present, we are in the early stages of an idea aimed at helping the men there get a more meaningful sense of their psychological formulations. We’re aware that many of the men in our services are not terribly comfortable with the written word, and may often prefer material presented in visual formats, such as cartoon strips. We’re interested in commissioning an artist to work alongside some of our prisoners (some of whom are very good artists), to develop some materials that… Read More
