AI Article Synopsis

  • This study turned a paper questionnaire about children's anxiety in Brazil into a digital format that can be used on screens.
  • Nurses and kids tested both the paper and digital versions to see how well they worked together, and the digital one got high scores for being valid.
  • Most kids preferred using the digital version, which means it could be great for nurses to help understand how anxious children feel in hospitals.

Article Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to transpose the printed Brazilian Children's Anxiety Questionnaire (CAQ BR) into a 2D digital format, validate it with nurses and hospitalized children, and analyze the association between the printed and 2D digital format versions.

Design And Method: This is a descriptive and multicentric study, conducted from 2021 to 2022 on working in pediatric care at two hospitals in Brazil. The nurses analyzed the printed and digital instruments and subsequently applied them to a child and proposed suggestions. A cutoff score of 0.80 on the content validity index was used; items that scored an average lower than the CVI in the study were adequate. Eighty children responded to the questionnaires sequentially according to the randomization table. A 90% agreement rate was used.

Results: The digital instrument was validated in content by 51 experts, with a CVI of 0.95. Face validation data for 80 children (mean age = 7.9 years) shows a 90% agreement rate. The intraclass correlation index for the general score was 0.87 and 95% CI (0.79-0.91), which shows good stability of the children's responses in both questionnaires. In addition, 59% (n = 47) of the children reported a preference for the digital questionnaire.

Conclusions: The digital CAQ BR can be used as an audiovisual instrument by nurses when implementing the systematization of nursing care in pediatrics.

Practical Implications: The digital 2D version was successfully applied and can be used in hospitals to measure children's self-reported anxiety.

Introduction: Prescribable digital health applications (DiGAs) present scalable solutions to improve patient self-management in rheumatology, however real-world evidence is scarce. Therefore, we aimed to assess the effectiveness, usage, and usability of DiGAs prescribed by rheumatologists, as well as patient satisfaction.

Methods: The DiGAReal registry includes adult patients with rheumatic conditions who received a DiGA prescription.
