Attire; Communication; Nonverbal; Professional-patient relations; Clinical competence; Procedural sedation and analgesia; Non-verbal communication |
| Core Tip |
Scrubs must be considered as tools of non-verbal communication, by proceduralists, particularly when aligned with age appropriate communication, and a patient-centred approach can help allay pediatric anxiety, build trust, and improve cooperation and procedural outcomes. |
