Tablet therapy as an assistive technology-based treatment for anxiety in pediatric oncology.

The painful interventions and invasive procedures associated with pediatric cancer treatment can result in anxiety. Anxiety can be reduced or better controlled through distraction and thought retraining. Although art therapy, non-electronic play therapy, music therapy, and traditional counseling are...

      ab: The painful interventions and invasive procedures associated with pediatric cancer treatment can result in anxiety. Anxiety can be reduced or better controlled through distraction and thought retraining. Although art therapy, non-electronic play therapy, music therapy, and traditional counseling are often used to alleviate stress and anxiety, new technology innovations are proving to be additional options to decrease stress and anxiety through distraction and attention shifting. Tablet-based interventions are emerging as an easily available and effective means of reducing stress and fear prior to operations, and have potential applications to reduce anxiety for patients before receiving chemotherapy, during time spent in hospital rooms, and while experiencing distressing physiological symptoms. This paper reviews the research on tablet therapy and discusses the application of assistive technologies in clinical oncology settings to reduce pediatric anxiety throughout the treatment process.
