Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether child life services can enhance the experiences of children and caregivers during skin prick testing. The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. Can child life services alleviate children's pain and enhance procedural compliance?
2. Can child life services reduce caregivers' anxiety and improve their satisfaction? Researchers will compare children who receive child life services with those who receive standard care to determine whether the intervention can optimize procedural experience and overall satisfaction.

Participants will receive either child life services or standard care during the skin prick test.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Care (in control arm)

Nurses introduce the environment, personnel, and procedure, review the child's medical and allergy history, and confirm informed consent. The SPT is then performed according to clinical standards. After the procedure, children remain under observation, during which nurses monitor for any discomfort and provide guidance to avoid scratching the test site. Finally, nurses measure and interpret the results and provide basic health education to the child and caregivers.

BEHAVIORAL

child life services

Children in the intervention group receive standard care plus support from a Child Life Specialist (CLS) throughout the SPT procedure. The CLS provides age-appropriate preparation, distraction, and emotional support to both children and caregivers before, during, and after the procedure. The CLS also monitors the child's responses, helps manage any anxiety or resistance, supports caregivers emotionally, and explains test results and post-procedure care in an understandable manner.
