WebTIPS Trial Design
2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: WebTIPSExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
A Tailored Program for Perioperative Anxiety and Pain (WebTIPS) aims at reducing perioperative anxiety and pain in children via an internet and mobile platform with short message service (SMS) two-way communication between a healthcare provider and patient/parent. The Web-based Tailored Intervention Preparation for Surgery (WebTIPS) program is developed using the conceptual framework of the Triple Aim that evaluates the intervention within the context of clinical efficacy, improved child and parent surgical experience, and reduced resource utilization during the surgical episode.
Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Subjects in this attention control group, the Web-based Information (WebINFO) group will not be provided tailored content or access to two-way communication. Instead, this group will only receive basic information regarding the management of perioperative anxiety and postoperative pain via the internet and/or mobile platform.
