Despite the fact that nurses are in key positions to learn and use hypnosis to bolster a child's symptom management, ability to solve problems, or self-esteem, they lack knowledge about the clinical effectiveness of hypnosis. Substantial clinical literature demonstrates that hypnosis effectively reduces anxiety, enhances coping, and has been used successfully to treat behavior disorders, school phobias, and sleep disorders. Hypnosis can effectively reduce a child's anxiety and symptoms and has few side effects when used competently. With education and supervision, nurses can effectively use hypnosis to improve a child's mastery and self-esteem and to reduce severe levels of anxiety.
尽管护士处于学习和使用催眠术以加强儿童症状管理、解决问题能力或自尊心的关键位置，但他们缺乏关于催眠术临床有效性的知识。大量临床文献表明，催眠术能有效减轻焦虑、增强应对能力，并且已成功用于治疗行为障碍、学校恐惧症和睡眠障碍。当使用得当时，催眠术能有效减轻儿童的焦虑和症状，且副作用很少。通过教育和监督，护士能够有效地使用催眠术来提高儿童的掌控感和自尊心，并减轻严重程度的焦虑。
