OBJECTIVE: This paper aims to describe the development and primary evaluation of an intelligent customer-driven smartphone-based app program (ICory-Circumcision) to enhance health outcomes among children undergoing circumcision and their family caregivers.
METHODS: Based on the review of the literature and previous studies, Bandura\'s self-efficacy theory was adopted as the conceptual framework. A multidisciplinary team was built to identify the content and develop the apps. Semistructured interviews were conducted to evaluate the ICory-Circumcision.
RESULTS: The ICory-Circumcision study was carried out from March 2019 to January 2020 and comprised 2 mobile apps, BuddyCare app and Triumf Health mobile game app. The former provides a day-by-day perioperative guide for parents whose children are undergoing circumcision, while the latter provides emotional support and distraction to children. In total, 6 participants were recruited to use the apps and interviewed to evaluate the program. In total, 4 main categories and 10 subcategories were generated from content analysis.
CONCLUSIONS: ICory-Circumcision seemed to lean toward being useful. Revisions to ICory-Circumcision are necessary to enhance its contents and features before advancing to the randomized controlled trial.

目的:本文旨在描述智能客户驱动的基于智能手机的应用程序程序(ICory-Circumcision)的开发和初步评估,以改善接受包皮环切术的儿童及其家庭照顾者的健康结果。
方法:在文献回顾和前人研究的基础上,采用班杜拉的自我效能理论作为概念框架。建立了一个多学科团队来识别内容并开发应用程序。进行了半结构化访谈以评估包皮环切术。
结果:该研究于2019年3月至2020年1月进行,包括2个移动应用程序,BuddyCare应用程序和TriumfHealth手机游戏应用程序。前者为孩子接受包皮环切术的父母提供了日常的围手术期指南,而后者为孩子提供情感支持和分散注意力。总的来说,招募了6名参与者使用这些应用程序,并进行了访谈以评估该计划。总的来说,内容分析产生了4个主类别和10个子类别。
结论:包皮环切术似乎倾向于有用。在进行随机对照试验之前,有必要对包皮环切术进行修订以增强其内容和特征。
