Anmärkningar

Children undergoing radiotherapy (RT) can experience anxiety, and explaining the procedure through a serious game could be a means to alleviate anxiety. Children have the right to take part in research that concerns them. Through co-creation stakeholders can be part of the process and thereby ensure that the developed product is suitable for the end users. The overarching aim was to investigate the developmental process of a serious game about RT, with a focus on the influence of co-creation, the feasibility of the game, and the game’s effects on self-rated anxiety by children undergoing RT.The thesis consists of four studies, where the first three describes the developmental process of the serious game from different aspects. Study I describes the children’s and their parents’ contributions to the game development based on data from interviews, audio recordings from workshops, and filmed gameplay. Nine children participated, 7 to 10 years old. Study II describes the experiences of seven parents who participated in the first study through interviews. Study III consist of interviews made with thirteen researchers, game designers and hospital staff. The interviews describe the participants’ experiences of taking part in the developmental process of the game. In study IV, reach and acceptability of the game was tested through a feasibility study at one clinic. . It was a randomized pilot, waiting list based study where 22 children participated. Analyses were performed by thematic analysis (Study I and III), content analysis (Study II) and statistical calculations (Study IV).The results showed that every participant involved in the development of the game contributed to the process. The method used in study I can be applied by researchers to co-create serious games with children. The children were active participants and had a consulting and informative role in the development, and their participation led to numerous changes. The interdisciplinary work was challenging but with ample time and an open climate it worked. A majority of children reported anxiety at the start of RT. In conclusion, the children’s participation impacted the game’s design and its content. The children’s abilities to participate in workshops was affected by their disease. Not all of the feasibility criteria set for study IV were reached. There were too few participants enrolled in the study to conclusively answer if the game had an effect on self-reported anxiety.
