Effective communication with children is a skill, the importance of which is especially highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the ubiquitous wearing of face masks. Anaesthesiology consultants have been shown to display excellent communication skills that facilitate the development of rapid rapport and patient cooperation. Good communication results in positive interactions for hospitalised children, which correlates with improved healthcare outcomes. However, interactions with a child aren't always straightforward, particularly for trainees unfamiliar with certain communication techniques, which are important to use at a time when when the wearing of face masks is commonplace.
与儿童进行有效的沟通是一项技能，新冠疫情以及普遍佩戴口罩的情况尤其凸显了其重要性。事实表明，麻醉科顾问具备出色的沟通技巧，有助于迅速建立融洽关系并促进患者配合。良好的沟通能为住院儿童带来积极的互动，这与改善医疗保健结果相关。然而，与儿童的互动并非总是一帆风顺，尤其是对于不熟悉某些沟通技巧的实习生而言，而在口罩佩戴很普遍的当下，使用这些技巧非常重要。
