Twenty-six children (mean age = 5.5 years) were exposed to one of three surgery preparatory conditions: participant modeling alone (n = 9), participant modeling with mother (n = 8), and standard procedure control (n = 9). Children exposed to the modeling slide-tape without their mothers had significant reductions in physiological arousal after the slide-tape presentation, unlike children viewing the tape with their mothers and children exposed to the control condition. Both participant modeling groups exhibited significantly fewer distressful behaviors during recovery (postsurgery) than did control group children. Results are discussed with respect to previous medical preparation research. Implications of these findings concerning clinical application and future research are addressed.
26名儿童（平均年龄5.5岁）被分为三种手术准备条件之一：单独的参与者示范（n = 9）、与母亲一起的参与者示范（n = 8）和标准程序控制组（n = 9）。与母亲一起观看示范录像带的儿童以及处于控制条件下的儿童不同，没有母亲陪伴观看示范幻灯片录像带的儿童在录像带展示后生理唤醒水平显著降低。两个参与者示范组在恢复阶段（术后）表现出的痛苦行为明显少于控制组儿童。结合之前的医学准备研究对结果进行了讨论。探讨了这些发现对临床应用和未来研究的意义。
