16 THE OSHAWA 'TIMES, . Wedoestey, August 3, 1966 CHILD GUIDANCE Child Facing Operation Feels Mother's Apprehension { By GARRY C, MYERS, PhD |mothers who are given a great! As anybody knows, confine-| ment to a hospital, for surgery, brings a degree of distress to the patient, particu- larly if he be a child, The most common cause for surgery in pre-teen children is tonsillec- tomy. It has been estimated| that more than 2,000,000 of these operations are performed each year and that they make up) about one-third of all operations isthe United States A growing body of literature reveals that children are quite sensitive to the emotion of other persons, especially those with whom they have close relation- ships. If, for instance, the mother feels very anxious and fearful about the hospitalization of her youngster, may add to his distress. They need not be verbalized, The mother need not say a word about her feelings in order for the child to be distressed by them. He gets them through her Many movements, her voice, her breathing, not fully subject to her voluntary control. One expert, Escalona, calls this non-verbal communication "contagion." To quote: "An ex- cited, worried mother may try to convey reassurance, but the baby, if he is susceptible to contagion, wi!l respond to her actual feeling state. On the other hand, a person who really feels calm can, if she is at all skillful, intentionally convey a sense of calmness to the baby,"' REPORT ON STUDY In the Journal of: Marriage and the Family for May, 1966, there is reported a study by James K. Skipper, Jr. It was a study of 47 routine tonsillectomy cases of children between the ages of 3 and 9. For each child it was his first hospitalization Their mothers were between 25 and 38 years of age, with rela- tively similar social character- istics, Each mother was questioned on her own degree of distress before, during, and after the tonsillectomy, as well as her possible distress about a future similar operation. To quote from the author's own summary: "The data sup- port the hypotheses that: a child's hospitalization for tonsil- lectomy is a distressful event for the mother of the child; and especially | these feelings! deal of advance information) from a physician about their child's hospitalization will suf-| fer less distress and make a} more rational adaptation to the. hospitalization than mothers! |who are given very little or no advance information." Not only the information the mother has from the physician is significant but also her skill in using this information in ver- eet os Ron-Vorea. Communica: tion with the child ENVY OF PLAYMATES Over the: years I have col- lected firsthand information about a goodly number of chil- dren who were skillfully han-| dled in connection with tonsil- lectomy and who had no great distress before, after the oper- ation or during subsequent weeks and months, In one case so glowing and satisfying a report of the ex- perience was related by one child, 3, that her playmate begged her mother to lect her go. to the hospital to get my "'adalines"' out Another child was the envy of all his playmates for months Some others were described by their nurses as happy patients The principles related to ton sillectomy in young children ap-| ply to all surgery and related treatment of young children even to the administering of shots PARENTS' QUESTIONS Q.
