This Immunization Month, let's highlight the power of child life specialists! According to Wright, Gerson, and Staab (2023), children who received support from a child life specialist during their vaccines showed significantly lower distress and used coping strategies more often. This study can be found in "The Impact of Child Life Intervention on a Clinical Vaccine Trial" in The Journal of Child Life: Psychosocial Theory and Practice. Thank you, child life professionals, for playing a HUGE role in vaccinations and immunizations for children. We know negative healthcare experiences as a child can cause an adult to put off seeking healthcare, and you help minimize the stress and trauma of healthcare encounters to promote positive life-long relationships with the medical setting.
