Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to identify if AR technology is a practical approach within this clinical setting, Considering both the acceptability of this resource along with participant usability. The team is trying to identify if it is an age-appropriate tool to reduce procedural anxiety through education and self-management. The study will be done using one-on-one interviews accompanied by a short questionnaire that has been developed using the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability (TFA), the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) and the System Usability Scale (SUS). Currently, there are minimal resources for this cohort within the cystic fibrosis community experiencing procedural anxiety. The topic of procedural anxiety may cause emotional distress in participants. Should this be bought to the attention of the researcher through observation within the interviews or a participant coming forward, they will be offered the support systems that are in place for this study. A deductive thematic analysis of the semi-structured moderator guide responses accompanied by a comparison of mean and standard deviation from the questionnaire which will be used only for hypothesis generation, reporting and comparison of results. A narrative synthesis will be used to gather results and collate multiple forms of data allowing comparison of the different data collection methods. For the purpose of the research honours project, data will only be analysed through the TFA and the SUS. The TDF responses will be used for a separate paper associated with this study.
Interventions
The prototype that will be created consists of a postcard embedded with augmented reality (AR) technology to educate parents and guardians about procedural anxiety and induced sputum collection. Parents and guardians of children diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF), along with health professionals, will be invited to complete a questionnaire and interview pre and post-interaction with prototype intervention regarding their thoughts and perspectives on the acceptability and usability for prospecti
The prototype that will be created consists of a postcard embedded with augmented reality (AR) technology to educate parents and guardians about procedural anxiety and induced sputum collection. Parents and guardians of children diagnosed with cystic fibrosis (CF), along with health professionals, will be invited to complete a questionnaire and interview pre and post-interaction with prototype intervention regarding their thoughts and perspectives on the acceptability and usability for prospective clinical use. These interviews will be a single sessions lasting 45-60 minutes and will be conducted in the location of choice for the participant, including teleconference/zoom or in-person at The Women’s and Children’s Hospital (WCH), depending on current health recommendations during the global pandemic to research teams. This study is an iterative co-design; where-in every five interviews, a review of participant feedback will drive design and content changes, therefore allowing participants’ perspectives to facilitate changes that are likely to be influential. The prototype contains written material and a 1-2 minute animation that provides parents and guardians further information. The addition of an interactive platform for children with CF will be included as parents may choose to use this as one of their strategies to facilitate distraction clinically for their children through a balloon pop mini-game. The Zapper app will be used to scan one of two codes on the postcard to access both of the interactive augmented reality materials.
