Summary
This study tests whether a mindfulness-based emotion regulation training program can help children aged 7-11 who are hospitalized for at least four days feel less afraid and better control their emotions. Half of the 54 participants will receive the training alongside usual care, while the other half gets only usual care. Researchers will measure changes in emotion regulation and medical fear using standard questionnaires.
