Summary

There are few applications available in the community to help teenagers manage pain after surgery. The focus of this study is to better understand the pain experience of children after having surgery and to design a Smartphone app called "iCanCope with Post-Operative Pain" (iCanCope PostOp), to help children and parents to better manage pain at home after surgery. The app will help keep track of pain, provide information about the teenager's surgery and provides "in-the-moment" advice wherever and whenever the patient needs it.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

iCanCope Post Op Application

The iCanCope program is designed to enhance pain self-management and self-efficacy, defined as perception of one's ability to successfully produce a desired effect in a task or behavior affecting their life. The intervention will be delivered on the iOS or Android smartphone platform depending on the participant's device. Usage of app features will be centrally tracked by the research team using Analytics Platform to Evaluate Effective Engagement (APEEE), developed at the Centre for Global eHealth Innovation. Participants will receive alerts through iCanCope to complete a pain diary check-in once per week preoperatively, twice per day over the initial 2-week postoperative period, and once per day for the subsequent 2-week period.
