Materials created by patients who have undergone medical procedures and surgery are being used by the health team at Miller Children's Hospital to help prepare other children for their hospital experiences. The materials include booklets written by children about their tests and surgeries, drawings illustrating their hospital experiences, and photographs of treatment rooms and equipment. These booklets are compiled, along with supplies associated with the tests and surgeries, into attractively decorated boxes. Case studies have shown that the input from peers who have created the preparation materials is well received by patients and has added credibility to the teaching sessions. The creators of the preparation boxes have also benefitted by helping other children and by putting their own hospital experiences into perspective.
曾接受过医疗程序和手术的患者所创作的材料，正被米勒儿童医院的医疗团队用于帮助其他儿童为住院经历做好准备。这些材料包括孩子们写的关于他们的检查和手术的小册子、描绘他们住院经历的图画，以及治疗室和设备的照片。这些小册子与检查和手术相关的用品一起，被汇编成装饰精美的盒子。案例研究表明，创作准备材料的同龄人所提供的内容很受患者欢迎，并为教学课程增添了可信度。准备盒子的创作者也通过帮助其他孩子以及正确看待自己的住院经历而受益。
