  • Title: Psychological factors affecting children's response to medical procedures: a guideline for clinicians.
    Author: Pruitt DB, Strickland M.
    Journal: Psychiatr Med; 1987; 5(3):199-209. PubMed ID: 3447236.
    Abstract:
    The effects of major technologic interventions on children are acknowledged and a focus is made on the less extensive diagnostic interventions. Selected aspects of childhood development are reviewed to examine the possible effects a diagnostic procedure might have on a child. The authors conclude that the possible psychological effects of a diagnostic procedure should be considered by the physician ordering the test.
