  • Title: Using walkie talkies to overcome the fear of separation in children having surgery.
    Author: Mossman BA.
    Journal: ORL Head Neck Nurs; 2004; 22(2):21-2. PubMed ID: 15148939.
    Abstract:
    Having surgery is an unnerving event for both patients and family members. But, when a child requires surgery, yet another fear is added to the stress equation, that is, the unwelcome fear of separation experienced by both the parent and child. This article describes an innovative protocol designed to alleviate this fear of separation experienced by children having surgery.
