Summary

This study tested a digital game called PeroPap designed to prepare children aged 7-10 and their parents for day surgery. The game teaches kids about the operation through a cartoon story and a song, and includes a parent module with information. Researchers measured children's anxiety, pain, nausea, and behavior changes, as well as parents' anxiety and satisfaction, to see if the game helps everyone feel more prepared and less stressed.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
digital serious health game (PeroPap)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could give hospitals a simple, fun tool to help children feel less scared and hurt less before and after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with no phase designation, so results may not apply to all children or surgeries. The game requires a smartphone or tablet, which not every family has.
