Abstract [en]

PURPOSE: To explore actions taken by health care professionals during a procedure with a child with autism spectrum disorder.

DESIGN AND METHOD: Critical incident technique was used, which is a technique with a qualitative descriptive retrospective design, to capture situations experienced by health care professionals during a procedure in an anaesthesia or radiology department. Health care professionals from anaesthesia and radiology departments (n = 20) were interviewed about situations affecting the procedure.

RESULTS: The findings revealed a broad range of actions (n = 205) taken by the health care professionals during a procedure with a child with autism spectrum disorder. The analysis resulted in two main areas: Finding a way to facilitate a procedure in a high technology environment and Creating a trustful relationship with a child with autism spectrum disorder. The most common action in the first area, was to adjust routines. In the second area the most common action was to take one step at a time and not force or rush the child during the procedure.

PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: The health care professionals used a broad range of different actions to facilitate a procedure in the high technology environment for a child with ASD, which indicates the need for a flexible approach. The actions taken included both adjustments to the environment and enhancing interactions with the child.
