Abstract

This study analyzed the acute stress levels of 42 children testifying in Spain's first child-friendly court. Heart rate variability (HRV) and state-trait anxiety questionnaires were used. Stress levels were generally medium-low, with no significant differences based on gender or crime type. However, repeated measures ANOVA revealed significantly higher stress in the waiting room and Gesell room compared to the decompression room. The findings support the use of child-friendly courts.
