Abstract
to develop and assess the serious game e-Baby Família with parents of premature infants. a methodological study regarding the development of the serious game, with participatory design in scope definition, starting from parents' learning needs about premature infant care. A qualitative approach was performed in the assessment stage with parents, with content analysis of the speech of the eight participants. the following categories emerged: Realistic appearance of the virtual setting and game content and Gameplay implications for the use of e-Baby Família. The game was satisfactorily assessed regarding content, appearance and dynamics use, motivating participants to learn. in the context of prematurity as a public health problem in Brazil and the need to strengthen family health education for care, the serious game was assessed as motivating and appropriate for health learning.
Highlights
It is estimated that every year 15 million infants are born prematurely worldwide, accounting for about one in ten births[1]
The serious games (SGs) theme, which was chosen by the target audience from participatory design, was quite pertinent when considering infant and neonatal morbidity and mortality data, especially among premature infants[3,4,5,6,7]
A concern of parents on infant care that emerged from the interviews, and has great relevance in the perspective of preparation for hospital discharge, refers to the risk of infections and respiratory problems of premature infants
Summary
It is estimated that every year 15 million infants are born prematurely worldwide (before reaching 37 weeks of gestation), accounting for about one in ten births[1]. The mortality rate generated by complications of prematurity has increased significantly and has become the leading cause of neonatal death and even among children up to 5 years old[3,4]. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with a resolution agenda by 2030, released by the United Nations, include the health agenda through “SDG 3: Good Health and Well-Being”. It is intended that by 2030 there will be no infant and neonatal mortality from preventable causes and neonatal and infant mortality rates should be reduced to a total of 12 and 25 per 1,000 live births, respectively. It is emphasized the need to strengthen the capacity of countries, those in the developing world, to recognize disease early, reduce health risks nationally and globally[5]
