背景：儿童通常对临床研究的理解有限，他们对参与临床研究的期望也有限。然而，研究表明，与标准的书面方法相比，多媒体提供的医疗和研究信息可能会促进更大的理解和参与。目的：本研究旨在探讨一种新的交互式增强现实（AR）程序对儿童理解临床研究的影响。研究方法：儿童（7-13岁）被随机分配接受有关临床研究的基本信息，使用印刷的故事书（对照）或使用嵌入式互动测验的视频透视AR iPad程序（AR）增强的相同故事书。在接受随机干预之前（前测试）和之后（后测试），对儿童进行了访谈，以评估他们对材料的理解。父母和孩子都完成了简短的调查，以衡量他们对信息传递的看法。结果：91个父母/孩子二对被纳入分析。对照组和变应性鼻炎儿童对研究信息的前测理解没有差异。然而，两组在测试后的理解方面都表现出了显着和相似的改善。与对照组相比，AR组儿童的父母发现信息质量更高，更清晰，AR组91.7%的儿童认为互动测验是有帮助的。父母和孩子都认为AR程序非常容易使用，85.0%和71.2%的人表示，如果未来的研究招募他们，他们更喜欢使用某种类型的iPad AR程序提供信息，并与研究人员进行讨论。结论：结果表明，以易于阅读和视觉上引人注目的方式为儿童和家长提供信息的重要性。虽然两组都表现出了更好的理解，但儿童和他们的父母更喜欢AR程序，并报告了使用基于计算机的技术接收信息的偏好。考虑到让儿童和家庭参与与健康研究相关的信息交流这一看似不可逾越的挑战，AR的使用似乎提供了一种新颖有效的工具，用于增强儿童和父母对研究（和医学）信息的同化和理解，并作为优化知情同意和同意过程的潜在工具。患者相关性：这项研究强调了以易于阅读和视觉突出的方式向研究参与者和患者提供信息的重要性。虽然在这项研究中使用的AR程序并没有导致理解水平的提高，AR被认为是首选的信息传递方法。希望本研究的结果能为今后的研究提供一个平台。
Background: Children often have limited understanding of clinical research and what they might expect from participating in a clinical study. Studies, however, suggest that multimedia delivery of medical and research information may promote greater understanding and engagement compared with standard written approaches. Aim: This study was designed to examine the effects of a novel interactive augmented reality (AR) program on children’s understanding of clinical research. Methods: Children (ages 7-13 years) were randomized to receive the basic information about clinical research using either a printed storybook (control) or the same storybook enhanced using a video see-through AR iPad program (AR) with embedded interactive quizzes. Children were interviewed to assess their understanding of the material before (pre-test) and after (post-test) receiving either of the randomized interventions. Both parents and children completed short surveys to measure their perceptions of the information delivery. Results: Ninety-one parent/child dyads were included in the analysis. There were no differences between the control and AR children’s pre-test understanding of the research information. However, both groups demonstrated significant and similar improvements in post-test understanding. Parents of children in the AR group found the information to be of higher quality and greater clarity compared with the control group, and 91.7% of children in the AR group found the inclusion of interactive quizzes to be helpful. Both parents and children found the AR program very easy to use and 85.0 % and 71.2%, respectively, indicated that if recruited for a future study that they would prefer information delivered using some type of iPad AR program together with a discussion with the researcher. Conclusions: Results demonstrated the importance of providing children and parents with information in an easy to read and visually compelling manner. Although both groups demonstrated improved understanding, children and their parents preferred the AR program and reported a preference for receiving information using computer-based technology. Given the seemingly insurmountable challenge of keeping children and families engaged in health research related information exchange, the use of AR would appear to provide a novel and effective vehicle for enhancing children’s and parents assimilation and understanding of research (and medical) information and as a potential tool to optimize the informed consent and assent processes. Relevance for patients: This study reinforces the importance in providing information to research participants and patients in an easy-to-read and visually salient manner. Although the AR program used in this study did not result in an increased level of understanding, AR was deemed the preferred method of information delivery. It is hoped that the results of this study will serve as a platform for future studies.
