This research examines the fears of 82 hospitalized school-age children 8 to 11 years of age as self-reported on the Child Medical Fear Scale (CMFS) (Broome, Hellier, Wilson, Dale, & Glanville, 1988). The variables of age, gender, yearly income level, health status (acute or chronic), and the score on the Trait scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAIC), (Spielberger, Edwards, Lushene, Montuori & Platzek, 1973) were examined. Fear of separation from the family, having shots and finger sticks, having to stay in the hospital for a long time, and being told that something was wrong with them were the fears with highest mean scores. Children with higher trait anxiety and from families with lower yearly income reported a higher amount of fear. Pediatric nurses are encouraged to perform fear assessments and provide individualized interventions that anticipate fear reactions in order to assist school-age children to cope with sources of fears during hospitalization.
本研究通过《儿童医疗恐惧量表》（CMFS）（布鲁姆、赫利尔、威尔逊、戴尔和格兰维尔，1988年）对82名8至11岁住院学龄儿童自我报告的恐惧进行了调查。研究考察了年龄、性别、年收入水平、健康状况（急性或慢性）以及儿童状态-特质焦虑量表（STAIC）特质量表得分（斯皮尔伯格、爱德华兹、卢申内、蒙图奥里和普拉茨克，1973年）等变量。与家人分离的恐惧、打针和手指采血的恐惧、必须长时间住院的恐惧以及被告知自己身体有问题的恐惧，这些恐惧的平均得分最高。特质焦虑水平较高且来自年收入较低家庭的儿童报告的恐惧程度更高。鼓励儿科护士进行恐惧评估，并提供个性化干预措施，预测恐惧反应，以帮助学龄儿童应对住院期间的恐惧源。
