- Abstract
Exposure to pain during routine vaccinations and other injections can cause lifelong anxiety for pediatric patients that may persist into adulthood. Teaching pediatric providers and staff to use intentional and humane approaches to pain management, including distraction, positioning, and use of purposeful language can help to mitigate these fears. We share our experience with assessing pre and post changes to pain management in our pediatric outpatient setting caring for underserved patients and implementing a trauma-informed care approach.
