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.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are children aged 1 to 18 years who have been diagnosed with acute kidney injury while hospitalized.
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.
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 performed: Other studies have shown success in using mobile health interventions for patient education and management, suggesting a promising approach for this population.
