Food Insecurity: Assessment and Intervention
Abstract: Food insecurity is a threat to the physical and mental health of children and their families.

Medical Simulation Technology: What Is It and How Does It Help?
Abstract: Medical simulation technology as a whole allows the clinical situation to be better understood, controlled, and practiced and is a reproduction of reality that provides a replication of clinical situations through the use of interactive videos, mannequins, and role playing (Cannon-Diehl, 2009). With the use of medical simulation technology, learners are able to practice skills and role-play different scenarios without causing harm to a patient, thus lessening stressful experiences during similar real-life situations (Hebda & Czar, 2013). This practice helps to improve the quality of care given to patients and, in...

Validity and Reliability Study of the Baxter Animated Retching Faces Nausea Scale
Aim: Nausea and vomiting, which are unpleasant clinical problems in the postoperative period, have negative outcomes related to patient satisfaction, morbidity, hospital stay, and medical costs. Nausea and/or vomiting may cause tracheal aspiration when unconscious after anesthesia, rupture of wound site, wound infection, recurrent and severe dehydration, and electrolyte impairments with pediatric surgery patients. It is very important to detect and prevent these clinical problems at an early period. Therefore, it is necessary to objectively assess nausea, which is a subjective perception. The aim of the current study was t...

The Utilization of Hypnosis for Children Recovering From Surgical Procedures: A Review of the Literature
Abstract: In the United States, approximately 4 million surgical procedures are performed on children every year. Unfortunately, severe postsurgical pain is common. Patients who still have moderate-to-severe postsurgical pain 1 month after a surgical procedure are at risk for deterioration of their health-related quality of life and the development of chronic postsurgical pain. Despite the magnitude of effects that postsurgical pain can have on a child, it is often inadequately assessed and treated because of the wrong notion that children neither experience or feel pain nor respond to or remember painful experiences to th...
