Storytelling Medicine

Fear is considered a natural reaction when a child visits the hospital. Much research has been done to

understand what causes it and how to treat it. Current methods to treat child hospital fear works on

decreasing anxiety at specific points in the procedure.

This project will investigate creating a series of tools and procedures that uses storytelling to link all

steps in a childs procedure, all the while calming, distracting, and educating the child.
