Clowns Benefit Children Hospitalized for Respiratory Pathologies
Figure 2
Results of Group × Time interactions highlighted by the ANOVAs carried out on physiological variables on the day of clown interaction. (a) The difference between the CG and EG for blood systolic pressure, recorded before and after the experimental intervention; (b) the statistically significant effect (P < .02) for blood diastolic pressure recorded before and after the experimental intervention in the CG and EG; (c) heart rate, recorded before and after the experimental intervention; (d) a statistically significant interaction (P < .002) in the respiratory frequency recorded before and after clown intervention in the CG and EG.
