ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is studying how a mobile app, combined with support from nurses, can help parents manage their children's symptoms when they are on mechanical ventilation. The goal is to see if this approach can make parents feel more confident and capable when caring for their children at home. Researchers will gather information from parents through questionnaires and interviews to understand how well the program works and what challenges they might face.
To participate in this study, parents need to be living with a child aged 2 to 18 who requires mechanical ventilation. They should also have a smartphone and be able to read and speak Chinese. Parents with certain mental health issues or those already involved in other symptom management programs won't be eligible. Although the study is not yet recruiting participants, it aims to support families by providing them with helpful tools and resources for better care at home.
