Creating authentic video scenarios for use in prehospital research

Children can become sick or injured at home, school or in a public place which can result in an ambulance being called. Paramedics caring for these children formulate a plan of care which may involve performing a clinical procedure such as blood sampling, wound dressing or the administration of medicines. Clinical procedures can cause children to become upset or distressed (Shockey et al 2013; Craske et al 2013), which may lead them to be un-cooperative and held by a parent against their will so the procedure can be carried out thereby heightening the child ’s distress.
