By Kathryn Doyle NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - The ability to videochat with family and friends might help relieve stress among some hospitalized kids, according to a new study. The “virtual visits” seemed to help kids who lived closest to the hospital and were hospitalized for the shortest amount of time, an average of five days. “Before starting this research project, we always received positive feedbacks on improved children’s stress and other mental symptoms after using our videoconferencing program,” Yang told Reuters Health in an email. Each family filled out two surveys, one in the first few days of the child’s hospitalization and the other within two days of discharge. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
