Empathy02:34

Empathy

Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.
Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which result in visible changes...
Health Literacy01:21

Health Literacy

Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative programs,...
Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance02:30

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...
Human Genetics01:28

Human Genetics

Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...
Cognitive Development During Adolescence01:18

Cognitive Development During Adolescence

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 recognition that people have...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Health Informatics
  • Genetic Counseling Communication
  • Human-Computer Interaction in eHealth

Background:

  • Children with genetic conditions require accessible, sensitive digital health information.
  • Existing online resources often do not meet the specific needs of children aged 8-12.
  • Effective communication is crucial for this vulnerable population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate and enhance the content and usability of a genetic information website (ikhebdat.nl) for children.
  • To identify specific areas for improvement in digital health tools for pediatric genetic conditions.
  • To provide design recommendations for child-oriented eHealth platforms.

Main Methods:

  • A case study approach was employed, focusing on the ikhebdat.nl website.
  • Five think-aloud sessions with parent-child dyads were conducted to assess usability.
  • A co-creation session with three children living with a genetic condition informed content development.

Main Results:

  • The website was generally found to be educational, engaging, and visually appealing.
  • Identified needs include improved visual hierarchy, intuitive navigation, and empathic language.
  • A significant need for peer-based video content was highlighted.

Conclusions:

  • Improving digital health tools requires attention to usability, emotional resonance, and autonomy support.
  • Design recommendations focus on creating child-centered eHealth experiences for genetic conditions.
  • This study offers valuable insights for developing more effective eHealth resources for pediatric populations.
