No cry kids hospital is right prescription
Print Edition
SHANGHAI Children’s Medical Center is aiming to become a “no-cry hospital.”
It has teamed up with Tongji University to develop designs to reduce children’s fear and anxiety.
A total of 14 designs, including masks with funny animal faces, an atomizer designed like an elephant that children can control themselves, and a bag-like infant intravenous injection kit are on display through Monday at the hospital,
Medical staff, the public, parents and even child patients can give their opinions on them. The hospital and university also want to attract the attention of companies to help produce them.
“Our team visited the entire hospital including waiting rooms, injection rooms, surgery rooms and wards to look at the demands of parents and child patients to help develop items which can ease the children’s anxiety and release patients’ pressure psychologically or physically,” said Liu Zhenyuan, the Tongji University teacher heading the project.
“Through these interesting and cute designs, the hospital is no longer just a place to treat disease but a place with fun and art.”
The medical center’s Dr Ji Qingying said the hospital has introduced many measures to help give children a more comfortable and relaxing environment.
“These designs can help reduce anxiety of parents and children and it also can reduce the workload of medical staff and enhance good communication between patients and doctors,” she said. “We hope these designs can be made into products soon and be available for use in many hospitals.”
