简介
These songs were originally created for iCare Adventure, an iPad app used to reduce the anxiety, fear and discomfort experienced by children and their parents while they wait in the hospital emergency waiting room. Pain, dehydration and anxiety in children are common paediatric emergency department (ED) diagnoses but are not well managed, particularly when wait times are long. The time children and their families wait in the ED can present a unique opportunity to engage them in their own management as well as improve their care in terms of reduced pain and anxiety, improved hydration, shorter wait times and improved parental confidence in their ability to care for their own child at home/or less uncertainty. The application incorporates iPads used by the children and parents, allowing for communication not only with staff, but also between patients. Children watch videos which introduce coping techniques as well as reframing common diagnosis by providing information on how amazing their body is. Coping technique introduced in the videos is also reinforced by a robot with which they can interact via the iPads. The application also uses guided imagery to help distract the children. By introducing famous international landmarks, the children get to think about something else that is funny and entertaining. The sales of this album will support the ongoing development of the application, in an effort to improve the emergency experiences of as many children as possible.
