To describe a study protocol for a randomized controlled trial which will evaluate the effectiveness of a gamified mobile health intervention for children in whole day surgery care.
A study protocol for a two-arm randomized controlled trial.
Participants will be randomly assigned to the intervention group (N = 62), in which patients receive routine care and play a mobile game designed for children or the control group (N = 62), in which patients receive routine care, including a mobile phone application that supports parents during the care path. The primary outcome is children's pre-operative anxiety, while the secondary outcome measures included fear and postoperative pain, along with parental satisfaction and anxiety. Data collection started in August 2020.
The results of the ongoing randomized controlled trial will determine whether the developed gamified mobile health intervention can be recommended for hospital use, and whether it could be used to educate children about their surgical treatment to decrease anxiety.
描述一项随机对照试验的研究方案，该试验将评估一款针对全麻手术患儿的游戏化移动健康干预措施的有效性。
一项两臂随机对照试验的研究方案。
参与者将被随机分配到干预组（N=62），其中患者接受常规护理并玩专为儿童设计的移动游戏，或对照组（N=62），其中患者接受常规护理，包括在护理路径中支持家长的移动应用程序。主要结局是患儿术前焦虑程度，次要结局指标包括恐惧和术后疼痛，以及家长满意度和焦虑程度。数据收集始于 2020 年 8 月。
正在进行的随机对照试验的结果将确定所开发的游戏化移动健康干预措施是否可以推荐给医院使用，以及是否可以用于教育儿童有关其手术治疗以减轻焦虑。
