Abstract

Background: Anxiety is often encountered in society, especially in children, when undergoing the COVID-19 vaccination. Anxiety is a factor influencing children to refuse vaccination. Therefore, nurses need to reduce this level of anxiety through the application of therapeutic communication. This research was carried out to determine the effect of therapeutic communication on children's anxiety levels during the implementation of the COVID-19 vaccination. Methods: A pre-experiment design with a one-group pretest-posttest design was used on 58 respondents who were selected using a simple random sampling technique. The research instrument used was the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS/SRAS) questionnaire with a Likert scale model, and the results were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test statistical test. Results: The results of the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test analysis on respondents' anxiety levels showed that there was a decrease in anxiety after therapeutic communication was carried out with a p-value of 0.00 (p < 0.05), which means that therapeutic communication had a significant influence on the anxiety level of children undergoing the COVID-19 vaccination. Conclusion: Therapeutic communication can effectively reduce the anxiety level of children undergoing COVID-19 vaccination.

治疗性交流对接种 COVID-19 疫苗的儿童焦虑程度的影响

背景：在社会中，尤其是在儿童中，接种 COVID-19 疫苗时经常会遇到焦虑。焦虑是影响儿童拒绝接种疫苗的一个因素。因此，护士需要通过应用治疗性沟通来降低这种焦虑水平。本研究旨在确定在实施 COVID-19 疫苗接种过程中，治疗性沟通对儿童焦虑水平的影响：方法：采用简单随机抽样技术，对 58 名受访者进行了实验前设计和单组实验前-实验后设计。使用的研究工具是利克特量表模式的 Zung 焦虑自评量表（SAS/SRAS）问卷，结果使用 Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test 统计检验法进行分析：受访者焦虑水平的 Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test 分析结果显示，进行治疗性沟通后，受访者的焦虑水平有所下降，P 值为 0.00（P < 0.05），这说明治疗性沟通对接种 COVID-19 疫苗的儿童的焦虑水平有显著影响：结论：治疗性沟通能有效降低接种 COVID-19 疫苗的儿童的焦虑水平。
