Abstract

The use of psychophysical techniques such as distraction and hypnosis for pain relief is becoming more common in order to reduce the pain and anxiety associated with care procedures in paediatrics. A training programme in supporting painful care procedures was implemented in a paediatrics unit. Running since 2013, it has already trained more than 150 caregivers. It lies at the heart of a philosophy of care.

Keywords: distraction; douleur; formation; hypno-analgésie; hypnosis for pain relief; paediatrics; pain; pédiatrie; training.
