Brief Summary

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of educational innovative gamified cards about nephrotic syndrome for school age children on their outcomes and caregivers' practices

Conditions

Nephrotic Syndrome

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

• Children's knowledge related to nephrotic syndrome interview questionnaire sheet pre/posttest/ follow-up

  This tool will be developed by the researcher in the Arabic language after reviewing the recent related literature to assess the nephrotic children's knowledge related to nephrotic syndrome including the definition of disease, causes, signs and symptoms, nephrotic syndrome specific diet, early signs of infection, oral medication and side effect…etc.

  through study completion, an average of 6 months.

• Children's self-reported health-related practices interview questionnaire sheet pre/posttest/ follow-up

  This tool will be developed by the researcher in the Arabic language after reviewing the recent related literature to assess the nephrotic children's practices and will cover their reported practices regarding management of NS such as general hygiene practices, regular follow-up measures such as (measuring weight, intake and output, measuring temperature, blood pressure and check protein in urine), administration of medication, proper following of nutrition,.. etc.

  through study completion, an average of 6 months.

• Caregivers' knowledge related to nephrotic syndrome interview questionnaire sheet pre/posttest/ follow-up

  This tool will be developed by the researcher in the Arabic language after reviewing the recent related literature to assess the nephrotic children's caregivers' knowledge related to nephrotic syndrome this part will include questions about the nature of the disease, its causes and clinical features, drug administration and its side effects, diet, prevention of infections, urine examination at home, related activities and follow up.

  through study completion, an average of 6 months.

• Caregivers' self-reported health-related practices interview questionnaire sheet pre/posttest/ follow-up

  This tool will be developed by the researcher in the Arabic language after reviewing the recent related literature to assess the nephrotic children's caregivers' practices and will cover their reported practices regarding the management of NS and will be consisted of questions to assess reported practices of caregivers regarding home management of children with NS. This section will include questions regarding practices of the caregivers in situations when the child responds to therapy, receive corticosteroids and has edema or respiratory infections, regular follow-up measures such as (measuring weight, intake and output, measuring temperature, blood pressure and check protein in urine), administration of medication, proper following of nutrition instructions,.. etc.

  through study completion, an average of 6 months.

• The Pediatric Symptom Checklist-17 (Psc-17) pre / follow up

  It is a psychosocial screen checklist designed to facilitate the recognition of cognitive, emotional behavioral problems. 'The PSC-17 consists of 17 items that are rated as "Never", "Sometimes" or "Often". The PSC helps evaluate how the child is functioning at home, at school, with friends and family, and during other activities in terms of mood and behavior. The PSC helps evaluate how the child is functioning at home, at school, with friends and family, and during other activities in terms of mood and behavior.Caregivers will fill out this tool on behalf of their children

  through study completion, an average of 6 months.

• Adherence to Refills and Medications Scale (ARMS) pre / follow up

  A validated Arabic version of ARMS will be adopted its 12-item self-reported medication adherence scale consists of two subscales (adherence with filling medications and adherence with taking medications). The adherence with filling medications subscale consists of four items, and the remaining eight items comprise the other subscale (adherence with taking medications).

  through study completion, an average of 6 months.

OTHER

Children with NS will be expected to have higher knowledge scores about nephrotic syndrome post-intervention than pre-intervention. Children with NS will be expected to have higher scores in healthcare-related practices including higher medication adherence post-intervention than pre-intervention. Children with NS will be expected to have lower psychosocial problems post-intervention than pre-intervention. Caregivers of children with NS will be expected to have higher knowledge scores about nephrotic syndrome post-intervention than pre-intervention. Caregivers of children with NS will be expected to have higher scores in health care-related practices post-intervention than pre-intervention.

Other: Gamified Cards about Nephrotic Syndrome

Interventions

Gamified Cards about Nephrotic Syndrome OTHER

* The study intervention "Spin to Win - Nephro Cards" will include the following items with simple Arabic language and graphic designation appropriate to children's developmental levels including; nephrotic syndrome, hygiene practices, weight control, fluids, blood pressure control, diet, medication…etc. * A spin wheel with numbers and images similar to the educational gamified cards will be designed. Children will request to spin the wheel. After the spin, the educational gamified "Nephro Cards" will reveal and discuss with the child.
