Study Summary

Hypothesis: The use of parent education and medical play will be able to reduce patient discomfort with potential uncomfortable medical procedures. Children that have urinary tract infections and those diagnosed with vesicoureteral reflux undergo a procedure called a voiding cystourethrogram (VCUG) to identify and follow vesicoureteral reflux. For many children and parents this can lead to considerable distress. Pre-procedure preparation can potentially reduce anxiety and improve overall experience with the procedure.

Primary Outcome

Medical play therapy could potentially reduce parental and pateint anxiety when used for preparing children for medical procedures. This study is designed to identify if play therapy can lead to reduction in parental and pateint anxiety with voiding cystourethrogram - a commonly performed test for the evaluation of children with urinary tract infections.
