Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Healthcare professionals who completed hypnotic communication training used fewer negative words and more positive, technique-specific words when performing pediatric procedures. These language changes, aimed at reducing procedural pain, were sustained long-term.
Area Of Science
- Pediatric healthcare communication
- Pain management strategies
- Hypnotic communication techniques
Background
- Pediatric patients often undergo repeated painful procedures.
- Healthcare professional communication styles can influence procedural pain.
- Hypnotic communication training (Rel@x) shows promise in mitigating pediatric procedural pain.
Purpose Of The Study
- To evaluate changes in healthcare professionals' language use after hypnotic communication training.
- To assess the durability of these language changes over time.
Main Methods
- 78 healthcare professionals received 9-hour hypnotic communication training.
- 58 participants were evaluated at baseline, post-training, and 5-month follow-up.
- Video-recorded simulations of venipuncture were analyzed for word usage in five categories.
Main Results
- Post-training, professionals used 51% fewer negative words and 73% fewer procedure-related words.
- Use of relaxation/analgesic words increased by 20%, with significant increases in specific technique words.
- Language changes were maintained (45-81%) at 5 months, with greater changes in women and less experienced staff.
Conclusions
- Short, structured hypnotic communication training leads to durable changes in healthcare providers' language during pediatric procedures.
- These findings support the implementation of hypnosis-derived communication training to improve pediatric pain management.

Focusing involves centering a conversation on a message's critical elements or concepts. Focusing is valuable if the talk is vague or patients begin to repeat themselves. Sometimes, when patients are asked about their symptoms, they may go off-topic and try to tell their entire life story. Respectfully, the nurse should bring the conversation back into focus.
This therapeutic technique can also be used when a patient brings up pertinent information during a health-related conversation. The...
Communication is a lifelong learning process. Through therapeutic communication, nurses can collect relevant assessment data, provide education and counseling, and interact during nursing interventions. Sending and receiving messages occur through verbal and nonverbal communication techniques and can happen separately or simultaneously.
Verbal communication depends on language or a prescribed way of using words so that people can share information effectively. The critical aspects of verbal...
The history of therapeutic communication can be traced back to Florence Nightingale, who emphasized the importance of developing trusting relationships with patients. She taught that the presence of nurses with patients results in therapeutic healing.
Therapeutic communication is not the same as social interaction. Social interaction has no goal or purpose and consists of casual information sharing, whereas therapeutic communication has a plan or purpose for the conversation. Therapeutic...
Behavior therapy incorporates diverse techniques rooted in classical conditioning principles to address maladaptive behaviors and anxiety disorders. These methods aim to reduce avoidance behaviors, foster adaptive coping mechanisms, and alter associations between stimuli and responses, making them effective in a wide range of therapeutic contexts.
Exposure therapy is a cornerstone of behavioral treatment for anxiety disorders. It involves systematic exposure to feared stimuli, either in real...
Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.

Epidural anesthetics are administered in the fat-filled epidural space, the outermost part of the spinal canal. This technique is commonly employed for pain management and anesthesia during lower abdomen and pelvis surgeries or labor and delivery.
Since epidural anesthetics can be infused through an epidural catheter, all types of drugs, including short-acting ones, can be administered. Chloroprocaine and lidocaine are examples of short and long-duration anesthetics, respectively. Bupivacaine...
