Investigating Challenges in Implementing a Digital Play Intervention in a Complex Organization Across Pediatric Departments: Non-Randomized Controlled Feasibility Trial by Laerke Winther, Michelle Stahlhut, Derek John Curtis, Christian Have Dall, Thomas Leth Frandsen, Jette Led Sorensen

“…Our main findings, based on the framework by Bowen et al, were (1) acceptability: prolonged recruitment due to fewer hospital stays more than 24 hours than expected; (2) demand: software coding error in the app prevented data registration, causing a potentially major risk of data loss; (3) practicality: Monster Gardener was incompatible with certain mobile phones, and discomfort from the adhesive plasters used to attach the accelerometer led to early removal by one-third of participants; (4) implementation: technical problems and perceived complexity hindered successful app deployment; (5) adaptation: the app demonstrated adaptability across different departments; (6) integration: enhanced information sessions with the health care professionals were needed prior to data collection, and participants were too exhausted and overwhelmed by consultations, blood tests, examinations, and pain and nausea from surgical procedures to use the app; (7) expansion: app facilitation requires additional resources, posing a challenge given limited availability of staff; and (8) limited-efficacy testing: participants were inactive 22 hours a day and data loss limited efficacy testing. …”
