Study Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to understand whether the decision tree for Child Life is effective in improving the professional level and working effect of Child Life Specialists. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does the decision tree for Child Life enhance the professional knowledge level of Child Life Specialists?
- Has the decision tree for Child Life improved the work effectiveness of Child Life Specialists?
- Has the application of Child Life decision trees improved children's pain levels and compliance?
Researchers will compare the intervention group and the observation group to see if the decision tree for Child Life can enhance the professional level and work effectiveness of Child Life Specialists.
Participants in the intervention group will:
- Receive training on the application of decision trees for Child Life.
- Apply the decision tree for Child Life to carry out intervention in Child Life intervention.
- Participate in knowledge level tests, work effect evaluations, and record the pain levels and compliance of pediatric patients.
Participants in active comparator will:
- Conduct Child Life intervention based on one's own experience and professional level.
- Participate in knowledge level tests, work effect evaluations, and record the pain levels and compliance of pediatric patients.
Detailed Description
Psychosocial issues, such as behavioral problems, social interaction disorders and learning difficulties, have become important topics in children's health care. These problems not only affect the immediate recovery of the child patients and increase the risk of complications such as delirium, but may also have a profound negative impact on their long-term development.
The application of decision tree for Child Life can provide clinical workers with effective and feasible intervention strategies, promote the standardization of Child Life practices, thereby reducing the psychological trauma of hospitalization on children and improving the overall quality of care for pediatric patients.
This study adopted a non-randomized controlled study and the intervention was carried out at Fudan University Children's Hospital.
Tools such as the "Questionnaire on Knowledge Level of Child Life Specialists" and the "Questionnaire on Evaluation of Work Effect of Child Life Specialists" were used to evaluate the two groups before and after the training respectively, and children's information of the included cases was collected during the process.

Arms & Interventions
Applying decision tree of Child Life for children
(1) The decision tree for Child Life was applied to conduct Child Life intervention for the children included in the event. (2) The knowledge level of Child Life Specialists was collected before and after the application. (3) The compliance and pain level of the children included in the event were collected. (4) The working effect of Child Life Specialists was cross-evaluated by two Certified Child Life Specialists.
Intervention: decision tree for Child Life (Other)
Routine Child Life intervention for children
(1) Routine Child Life intervention was applied for the children included in the event. (2) The knowledge level of Child Life Specialists was collected before and after the application. (3) The compliance and pain level of the children included in the event were collected. (4) The working effect of Child Life Specialists was cross-evaluated by two Certified Child Life Specialists.
Intervention: Routine Child Life intervention for children (Other)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Clinical anxiety and cooperative behavior manifestations of the child patient
Time Frame: From enrollment to the end of intervention at 2 months
Before and after each intervention, researchers collected on-site the clinical anxiety and cooperative behavior manifestations of the children included in the intervention plan. The scoring range of this scale is from 0 to 5, with a total of six points. A score of 0 indicates ease, 1 indicates discomfort, 2 indicates tension, 3 indicates reluctance, 4 indicates fear, and 5 indicates loss of control. The higher the score, the more resistant the child is to treatment and the poorer the degree of cooperation. It is generally believed that children with a score of 4 or 5 are unable to cooperate with the treatment.
Secondary Outcomes
- Questionnaire on Knowledge of Child Life Specialists(From enrollment to the end of training at 2 months)
- Questionnaire on the Evaluation of the Work Effect of Child Life Specialists(Each intervention ended after enrollment)
- Competency Level of Child Life Specialists(From enrollment to the end of training at 2 months)
- FACES Pain Scale(From enrollment to the end of intervention at 2 months)
