The problem
Intervention: Co-design of a pPREM with iterative cognitive interviews with children aged 6-11 years to test and refine survey items, rating scales, and response options based on child feedback
Who it was tested with: 21 children aged 6-11 years recruited across four Australian hospitals.
Experience from people who deliver programmes: stories, case studies and lessons learned. Valuable for understanding how and why, and for spotting what to test next, but not a measure of effect.
"Children participated in online cognitive interviews to evaluate pPREM items and rating scales (using 'stars' or 'smiley faces') for their understandability, usability, relevance and importance related to their needs in hospital. Framework analysis was conducted iteratively, with items refined after the first round of interviews based on children's feedback." This demonstrates a participatory design approach where children's direct input shaped the measure through cycles of testing and refinement.
Small sample size from one country; study does not assess whether the refined measure produces valid or reliable data in actual use; no comparison with alternative design methods or non-participatory approaches
