儿童姑息干预研究的参与者招募对研究人员来说是一个长期的挑战。数字招募策略，或用于远程接触和招募研究对象的数字技术辅助招募方法，可以帮助解决儿科姑息治疗临床试验的这些招募挑战。本研究(a)描述了针对癌症儿童及其父母进行儿童姑息干预随机临床试验的Facebook招募程序，(b)报告了招募结果，(c)讨论了通过Facebook广告招募儿科人群的成功策略。研究人员利用Facebook广告招募患有晚期癌症的儿童（7至17岁），进行基于网络的遗产干预。在2015年至2018年期间，我们的研究团队招募了150对亲子二人组（N= 300）参加基于网络的遗产项目。结果表明，Facebook广告可以成为接触和招募危及生命的儿科人群的成功工具。需要进一步的研究来确定如何将创新的社交媒体招聘策略用于其他严重疾病患者及其护理人员，以进一步推进姑息治疗科学。
Participant recruitment for pediatric palliative intervention studies is a chronic challenge for researchers. Digital recruitment strategies, or digital technology-assisted recruitment methods used to remotely reach and enroll research subjects, can help address these recruitment challenges for pediatric palliative care clinical trials. This study (a) describes Facebook recruitment procedures targeting children with cancer and their parents for a pediatric palliative intervention randomized clinical trial, (b) reports recruitment results, and (c) discusses successful strategies to recruit pediatric populations via Facebook advertisements. Researchers used Facebook advertisements to recruit children with advanced cancer (aged 7 to 17 years) for a web-based legacy intervention. Between years 2015 and 2018, our research team enrolled 150 child–parent dyads (N= 300) to participate in the web-based legacy program. Results suggest that Facebook advertisements can be a successful tool to access and recruit pediatric populations with life-threatening conditions. Further research is needed to determine how innovative social-media recruitment strategies could be used in other populations of patients with serious illnesses and their caregivers to further advance the science in palliative care.
