The information that matters...
-
A traumatic early needle experience caused by unmanaged procedural pain can result in long-term physiological and psychological consequences and in severe cases lead to an extreme fear of needles that continues into adulthood.
-
Fear of needles can lead to avoidance of critical medical treatments and procedures including immunisations, pathology tests and IV infusions.
-
For clinicians, significant amounts of time can be spent dealing with patients’ anxiety and most needle-procedures with children require additional staff to be involved. A simple injection can often take up to 20-90 minutes.
-
Around 1 in 5 people have a fear of needles with this fear affecting up to 90% of the paediatric population.
