背景:儿童急性胃肠炎(AGE)是急诊(ED)就诊的主要原因,导致大量的医疗保健费用和家庭和护理人员的压力。大多数儿科AGE病例是由病毒感染引起的,可以在家中使用预防脱水的策略进行管理。为了增加知识,并支持健康决策,儿科年龄,我们开发了一个知识翻译(KT)工具(完全自动化的基于Web的白板动画视频)。
目的:本研究的目的是评估基于网络的KT工具在知识方面的潜在有效性,卫生保健决策,利用资源,以及感知的利益和价值。
方法:在2020年12月18日至2021年8月10日之间招募了父母的便利样本。父母在儿科三级护理医院的ED中招募,并在ED访问后随访长达14天。资格标准包括年龄<16岁的儿童的父母或法定监护人因急性腹泻或呕吐而向急诊室就诊,用英语交流的能力,并同意通过电子邮件跟进。父母在ED访问期间随机接受有关AGE的基于网络的KT工具(干预)或假视频(对照)。主要结果是干预前的知识评估(基线),干预后立即,并在ED出院后4至14天随访。其他结果包括决定遗憾,医疗保健使用,和KT工具的可用性和满意度。干预组参与者被邀请参加半结构化访谈,以收集有关KT工具的其他反馈。
结果:共有103位父母(干预:n=51,49.5%,和对照组:n=52,50.5%)完成基线和干预后评估。在这103位家长中,78(75.7%;干预:n=36,46%,和对照组:n=42,54%)完成了随访问卷。干预后的知识得分(平均8.5,SD2.6与平均6.3,SD1.7;P<.001)和随访时(平均9.1,SD2.7与平均6.8,SD1.6;P<.001)显着高于干预组。干预之后,干预组的父母对知识的信心高于对照组.在任何时间点都没有发现决策后悔的显著差异。在评估可用性和满意度的5个项目中,家长对KT工具的评价高于假视频。
结论:基于Web的KT工具提高了父母对AGE的知识和对知识的信心,是行为改变的重要前兆。需要进一步的研究来了解哪些信息和交付格式以及其他因素会影响父母关于孩子健康的决策。

BACKGROUND: Acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in children is a leading cause of emergency department (ED) visits, resulting in substantial health care costs and stress for families and caregivers. The majority of pediatric AGE cases are caused by viral infections and can be managed at home using strategies to prevent dehydration. To increase knowledge of, and support health decision-making for, pediatric AGE, we developed a knowledge translation (KT) tool (fully automated web-based whiteboard animation video).
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the potential effectiveness of the web-based KT tool in terms of knowledge, health care decision-making, use of resources, and perceived benefit and value.
METHODS: A convenience sample of parents was recruited between December 18, 2020, and August 10, 2021. Parents were recruited in the ED of a pediatric tertiary care hospital and followed for up to 14 days after the ED visit. The eligibility criteria included parent or legal guardian of a child aged <16 years presenting to the ED with an acute episode of diarrhea or vomiting, ability to communicate in English, and agreeable to follow-up via email. Parents were randomized to receive the web-based KT tool (intervention) about AGE or a sham video (control) during their ED visit. The primary outcome was knowledge assessed before the intervention (baseline), immediately after the intervention, and at follow-up 4 to 14 days after ED discharge. Other outcomes included decision regret, health care use, and KT tool usability and satisfaction. The intervention group participants were invited to participate in a semistructured interview to gather additional feedback about the KT tool.
RESULTS: A total of 103 parents (intervention: n=51, 49.5%, and control: n=52, 50.5%) completed the baseline and postintervention assessments. Of these 103 parents, 78 (75.7%; intervention: n=36, 46%, and control: n=42, 54%) completed the follow-up questionnaire. Knowledge scores after the intervention (mean 8.5, SD 2.6 vs mean 6.3, SD 1.7; P<.001) and at follow-up (mean 9.1, SD 2.7 vs mean 6.8, SD 1.6; P<.001) were significantly higher in the intervention group. After the intervention, parents in the intervention group reported greater confidence in knowledge than those in the control group. No significant difference in decision regret was found at any time point. Parents rated the KT tool higher than the sham video across 5 items assessing usability and satisfaction.
CONCLUSIONS: The web-based KT tool improved parental knowledge about AGE and confidence in their knowledge, which are important precursors to behavior change. Further research is needed into understanding what information and delivery format as well as other factors influence parents\' decision-making regarding their child\'s health.
