Article Synopsis
- The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child says kids should have a say in medical decisions that affect them, but sometimes doctors ignore what they want.
- A study interviewed 12 kids and teens in Sweden about their experiences with being forced during medical procedures, and the kids shared that it really hurt and made them feel powerless.
- The study showed that healthcare workers need to listen to kids more and respect their feelings to help them feel safer and more in control during treatments.
