Computer games are a major part of the culture of children and teenagers in many developed countries. Research shows that children of the computer age prefer computer-assisted learning to any other teaching strategy. Health care workers traditionally have used dolls, games, drawings, creative arts, and even videotapes to prepare children for surgery. No studies have been conducted in Israel on using computers to help ailing children in general or to help children preparing for surgery in particular. This article discusses the potential for using computers to educate patients based on a review of the literature and interviews with children and describes the process of computer game development.
在许多发达国家，电脑游戏是儿童和青少年文化的重要组成部分。研究表明，电脑时代的儿童比起其他任何教学策略，更喜欢计算机辅助学习。传统上，医护人员会使用玩偶、游戏、绘画、创意艺术甚至录像带，来帮助孩子们为手术做准备。以色列尚未开展过关于使用电脑帮助患病儿童的研究，尤其是帮助准备接受手术的儿童的研究。本文在回顾文献以及采访儿童的基础上，探讨了利用电脑对患者进行教育的可能性，并描述了电脑游戏的开发过程。
