Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are children aged 1 to 18 years who have been diagnosed with acute kidney injury while hospitalized.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are legally blind or deaf, cognitively impaired, non-English speaking, or older than 18 years and 11 months will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study aims to enhance patient-centered care for acute kidney injury (AKI) in children by identifying barriers and facilitators to self-management through mobile health interventions. It involves conducting interviews with families of pediatric AKI patients and healthcare providers to gather feedback. The insights gained will be used to modify an existing educational tool designed for adults, followed by usability testing and pilot testing of the revised tool's effectiveness. The goal is to ultimately improve health outcomes for children suffering from AKI.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management and outcomes for children with acute kidney injury.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown success in using mobile health interventions for patient education and management, suggesting a promising approach for this population.
