Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This study aims to (1) develop an intelligent customer-driven solution for pediatric surgery care for parents of children undergoing circumcision and their children; (2) examine the effectiveness of the intervention on outcomes of parents (self-efficacy in child care, perioperative knowledge, and satisfaction in perioperative care, need for information and anxiety) and children (preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain); and (3) explore users' (parents, children, health care professionals) perceptions of the intervention and suggestions for improvement.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Objectives: The aims of this study are: (1) to develop an intelligent customer-driven solution for pediatric surgery care for parents of children undergoing circumcision (ICory- Circumcision) and their children; (2) to examine the effectiveness of the ICory- Circumcision on outcomes of parents (self-efficacy in child care, perioperative knowledge, and satisfaction in perioperative care, need for information and anxiety) and children (preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain), as well as no-show/ delayed show up for operation cases and health services use; and (3) to explore users' (parents, children, health care professionals) perceptions of the intervention and suggestions for improvement.
Study design: This study will be a two-group pretest and repeated posttest pilot randomised controlled trial followed by qualitative process evaluation. A total of 80 dyads of parents and their primary school-aged children (7-12 years old) will be randomly assigned into the intervention group which will receive the ICory-Circumcision plus routine care, whereby the parents will receive the BuddyCare application while the child will receive the Triumf game application, and the control group, who will just receive routine care provided by the hospital. An interview guide will be developed and used to interview the parents and healthcare professionals who used ICory-Circumcision to explore their experiences and opinions on strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement. The children who have used the Triumf game will also be interviewed to explore their experiences about the game application.
Hypothesis: When compared to the control group, (1) parents in the intervention group who receive the ICory-Circumcision will report a significantly (a) higher level of self-efficacy in child care; perioperative knowledge and satisfaction (b) lower level of needs for information and preoperative anxiety. (2) The children in the intervention group will report a significantly lower level of preoperative anxiety and postoperative pain. (3) The intervention group will have fewer cases of no-show/ delayed show up for operation, and reduced health services use (e.g. reduced A \& E department or GP attendance for non-medical reasons) within 2 weeks after the surgery.

Intervention Model
PARALLEL
This study will be a two-group pretest and repeated posttest pilot randomised controlled trial followed by a qualitative process evaluation. A randomized controlled trial design was chosen as it has been the gold standard in testing effectiveness of a new intervention or treatment. A qualitative process evaluation is incorporated into this study design to explore the experiences of the participants' use of the applications.
A total of 80 dyads of parents and their primary school-aged children (7-12 years old) will be randomly assigned into the intervention group which will receive the ICory-Circumcision plus routine care, whereby the parents will receive the BuddyCare application while the child will receive the Triumf game application, and the control group, who will just receive routine care provided by the hospital.

Blinding Strategy
SINGLE
Outcome Assessors
The investigators will firstly generate certain sets of random numbers from 1 to 6 by using Research Randomiser (Research Randomiser, 2019). Each number represents one combination of the allocations, e.g. 1 - \[I I C C}, 2 - {I C I C}, 3 - {I C C I}, 4- {C I C I}, 5- {C I I C} and 6 - {C C I I} where I and C represent the allocation to the intervention and control group, respectively. Such randomly generated sequences will be used to allocate participants, who will be assigned in successive order according to the sequence. Opaque, sealed envelopes with cardboard inside indicating the randomly assigned group will be prepared by the PI. Through these processes, randomisation and allocation concealment will be ensured (Doig \& Simpson, 2005; Schulz \& Grimes, 2002).
One research assistant will recruit participant, collect baseline data, conduct randomisation, and deliver the intervention, while another research assistant who is blind from group allocation will collect post-test data.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Intervention group
The participants in the intervention group will receive the routine care plus the ICory-Circumcision which is specially developed for this study based on preliminary studies, other literature, and most importantly, the surgical pathway currently practiced in the study hospital. The ICory-Circumcision programme has two components: (1) the Buddy Healthcare mobile app (BuddyCare) that provides a comprehensive day-by-day perioperative guide for parents regarding their child's surgery with an interface for health care professionals to monitor parents' and their children's needs as well as communicate with them. (2) The Triumf Health mobile game app that provides emotional support and distraction to children.

(2) The Triumf Health mobile game app that provides emotional support and distraction to children. The ICory-Circumcision programme is designed to be a self-guided and healthcare professional-led. Participants will have access to BuddyCare for parents and Triumf Health from time of recruitment till 2 weeks after surgery while the healthcare professional would receive face-to-face training on how to use the BuddyCare dashboard.
Routine care
Intervention Type
OTHER
The routine care consists of normal consultations with the doctor, preoperative preparation, and post-operative care. During the first consultation, the child will be assessed for the need for circumcision and the doctor explains verbally to the parents about the procedure, risks, what to expect and prepare pre-operatively.
Control group
The participants in the control group will receive routine care provided by the hospital which consists of normal doctor consultant, preoperative preparation, and postoperative care.
