Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of this project is to determine the efficacy of a tablet-based educational intervention at improving orthopaedic health literacy amongst families of pediatric patients treated for fractures in an outpatient setting.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This project aims to reduce knowledge disparity amongst caregivers of patients presenting for pediatric fracture care. At our institution, many patients presenting with fractures do not have easy access to either technology or the internet, preventing caregivers from benefiting from educational tools such as POSNA's OrthoKids®. We are planning to increase access and improve health literacy through a simple intervention of providing tablet-based access to POSNA's Orthokids while families are waiting for their physician. Families will be randomized to either standard waiting room experience vs. tablet-based educational intervention to limit selection bias. A brief pre-visit questionnaire will be completed by all caregivers to assess fracture and cast care knowledge as well as the highest educational degree obtained by the caregiver.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group

Patients randomized to the intervention group of the RCT will be given tablet-based education. The first clinic follow-up visit will consist of screening for consent, providing a QR code for Orthokids, and conducting the pre-intervention questionnaire. The pre-intervention questionnaire has two sections with questions pertaining to demographics and orthopedic knowledge. The second clinic follow-up visit will be provided with the tablet for repeat education, with Orthokids and the post-intervention questionnaire will be distributed. The post-intervention questionnaire has two sections with questions pertaining to orthopedic knowledge and satisfaction with care.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tablet-based educational intervention

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

POSNA's Orthokids website and the article on pediatric forearm fracture will be provided on a tablet. The article provided has two separate tabs, labeled "Condition" and "FAQs", that caregivers will be able to read through. Those who speak Spanish will have the Spanish translated version of Orthokids.

Control Group

Patients randomized to the control group of the RCT will receive the standard clinic experience. This group will not be exposed to any education enrichment about their child's fracture except for the physician's explanation within the exam room.
