“Easy to understand for children” Children's rights Even at medical sites, November 17, 22:44
In commemoration of the 25 years since Japan ratified the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, a symposium was held to consider the rights of children in the medical field. I would like you to explain it clearly and ask your opinion. "
The Japan Pediatric Society was held at the symposium, and about 60 people including doctors and nurses gathered at the venue in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.
In this, Dr. Atsuko Tanaka, who is taking care of children's minds at the National Center for Child Health and Development, said, “Children who did not correctly explain the disease name later learned the fact,” parents and doctors seem to be weak people. “It might be a feeling of injury”.
“It is important to explain correctly to children about illness and treatment according to their development and think together.”
Based on his own experience, Tokuhiro Soga, who has been treating biliary atresia (12), “I want the children to understand in an easy-to-understand manner during surgery and treatment. I want you to listen carefully to the opinions of the children, rather than deciding to get involved. "
Soga says, “It ’s painful to be hospitalized, but it ’s more painful if you do n’t value your child ’s intentions. I want you to become a society. "
