Also one of the clowns of Soccorso Clown, Giovanna Pezzullo, was a runner up for the woman of the year award due to the fact she distracted a child during a Bone Marrow transplant and anaesthesia didn&rsquo;t have to be used. 

...I specifically remember entering a room where the little girl was in a lot of pain and she was rejecting the clowns due to their white doctor coats; however, by the end they had caught her attention and she was no longer lying suffering in bed but dancing to the music and laughing. 

...Vladimir was very passionate about the fact that these volunteers for these other organisations are not professionals and he feels that they are mocking his work as all the clown doctors of Soccorso Clown went through auditions and courses to do their job and for them &ldquo;it&rsquo;s a profession not a part-time job&rdquo;. ...  We asked the clowns whether it is difficult to stay detached from these children and how difficult it is to see these children whom they have been working with pass away. ...  We were also wondering where they get their inspiration and they replied that it is precisely cases like the little girl that I previously mentioned which drive them every day, seeing the difference they make to these children. ...  We also asked them whether this experience helped them in any way and they replied that of course it makes you more sensible to certain matters and a more sensitive person more aware of what is happening in the world surrounding you and makes you stronger. 


...At school we have held many very successful fundraising events to raise awareness and money for this incredible charity and we invite you to support Soccorso Clown and all the amazing work it has been accomplishing throughout the years of its existence.

Ridere fa bene, riduce lo stress nei bambini sottoposti a interventi chirurgici Lo dimostra una ricerca internazionale realizzata all'Ospedale pediatrico Meyer di Firenze


Ridere fa bene, soprattutto in sala operatoria: riduce del 50 per cento l&rsquo;ansia nei bambini sottoposti a interventi chirurgici. ...  "&Egrave; risaputo che l&rsquo;anestesia e l&rsquo;intervento possono essere vissuti come paurosi e stressanti dai bambini - spiegano gli autori dello studio, Laura Vagnoli, Simona Caprilli, Arianna Robiglio e Andrea Messeri -: Si stima infatti che il 60% di piccoli soffra di ansia preoperatoria, considerata come fattore predittivo di disturbi post-operatori"


Nella ricerca condotta dal servizio Terapia del Dolore del Meyer, sono stati studiati 40 bambini da 5 a 12 anni che dovevano sottoporsi a intervento di chirurgia minore in day-surgery.   Di questi la met&agrave; - selezionata casualmente - era accompagnata in sala preoperatoria da due professionisti clown-in-corsia di Soccorso Clown e da un genitore, mentre l&rsquo;altra entrava con la sola compagnia di un genitore come avviene di ruotine.


Nel "gruppo sperimentale" due clown-in-corsia conoscevano il bambino gi&agrave; in reparto, trascorrendo con lui circa 15-20 minuti, per poi accompagnarlo fin dentro alla sala operatoria. 

...Con specifici test psicologici &egrave; stata misurata l&rsquo;ansia del bambino e del genitore e sono state fatte interviste a genitori, clown-in-corsia, nonch&eacute; a medici e infermieri della sala operatoria.


...La ricerca, tra le prime al mondo realizzata in questo ambito, evidenzia l&rsquo;importanza del gioco e del "sorriso" per i bambini in ospedale, in questo specifico caso impegnando la metodologia professionale dei clown-in-corsia sviluppata da Soccorso Clown, dimostrando scientificamente che ridere aiuta i piccoli pazienti ad affrontare il dolore e lo stress.
