Summary
This summary is machine-generated.A new mobile app, CuidaDor Web App, helps children and adolescents manage cancer pain. Validated by experts and users, it aids self-reported pain assessment during hospitalization and at home.
Area Of Science
- Pediatric Oncology
- Health Informatics
- Digital Health
Background
- Pain management in pediatric oncology is crucial.
- Effective tools are needed for self-reported pain assessment in young cancer patients.
- Existing methods may lack engagement or accessibility for children and adolescents.
Purpose Of The Study
- To construct and validate the "CuidaDor Web App" for guiding children and adolescents in oncological care regarding self-reported pain.
- To assess the content validity and face validity of the mobile application.
Main Methods
- A descriptive study using systematic instructional design (2022-2023) in Brazilian pediatric care settings.
- Content validation by healthcare professionals (Content Validity Index [CVI] ≥ 0.80).
- Face validation with children and adolescents (≥ 90% agreement rate).
Main Results
- The CuidaDor Web App was successfully developed and validated.
- Overall content validation index was 0.95.
- Face validation achieved over 90% concordance among 24 child and adolescent participants.
Conclusions
- The CuidaDor Web App is a validated tool for managing pain in pediatric cancer patients.
- The application can support pain assessment during hospitalization and at home.
- Further research is needed to optimize age-specific use and integration into nursing practice.

Reporting and recording are crucial in data documentation. The timely, thorough, and accurate documentation of facts is essential when recording patient data. Failure to record findings during an assessment or interpretation of a problem will result in loss of information and make the patient document unreliable. The reader is left with general impressions if the information is not specific. A recording is documenting data of the individual's health information in a traceable, secure, and...
Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.
Unfortunately, being consistent in measurement does not necessarily mean that you have measured something correctly. To illustrate this concept, consider a kitchen...
During adolescence, individuals experience significant cognitive development that enhances their understanding of others' emotions and thoughts, known as cognitive empathy. This period is marked by an increased ability to adapt to others' perspectives and a more nuanced understanding of others' mental states, a skill that is foundational for social problem-solving and conflict avoidance. The development of cognitive empathy relies heavily on the theory of mind — the...
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between...
Pain serves as a critical warning signal that alerts the body to potential or actual harm. When mechanical pressure on the skin is intense, such as from a sharp pinch, the sensation transitions from touch to pain. Similarly, extreme temperatures, like a hot pot handle, convert the sensation of heat into pain. Pain can also result from overstimulation of other senses, such as blinding light, loud noise, or the intense heat from habañero peppers. This ability to sense pain is essential for...
