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
Detailed Description: Nephrotic Syndrome NS is the most common glomerular disorder in children globally Eighty percent of NS cases occur in preschool-aged children less than 6 years of age The ratio between boys and girls is approximately 2 to 1 It requires long-term treatment and can be recurrent Steroid responsiveness is one of the critical determinants of the disease course It has been reported to be 5 for steroid-sensitive NS and 40-50 for steroid-resistant NS Although up to approximately 85 of pediatric NS patients are reportedly sensitive to steroids most cases relapse with around half having frequent relapses or becoming steroid-dependent NS not only compromises the physical health of patients but also affects their psychological health daily functioning general well-being and social functioning Children with NS are not happy and not satisfied with their lives when compared with their healthy peers Furthermore corticosteroid CS therapy can cause behavioral abnormalities in children with NS There was a strong positive correlation between using CS therapy for a long period and the development of psychiatric disorders such as aggression anxiety and depression

Children with NS have unique nutrition support needs Children should follow a healthy age-appropriate diet to meet energy requirements and the daily recommended intake of protein It is recommended to continue to limit sodium saturated and trans-saturated fat as these have been linked to inflammation Standardized diet recommendations are needed for the regulation of daily energy sodium calcium and vitamin D intakes Also the management of the associated conditions and side effects of corticosteroid treatment should be considered Studies on self-care in childhood NS are very few especially in developing countries Eid et al 2020 Rousselet al 2019 Child education and self-care empowerment are key which involve both the ability to care for oneself and the activities necessary to achieve maintain or promote ones optimal health Through self-care various outcomes may be achieved for example improved symptom control coping with the illness and quality of life QoL

In recent years there has been a lot of attention given to the trend of including game elements in non-gaming facilities The usage of gamification in education is a massive benefit for motivation user interaction and social effects Gamification is recognized and implemented in diverse areas such as marketing politics industry information technology fitness exercise and health Health researchers and providers have started using gamification apps to deliver medical education online and through mobile apps Many studies defined the technical term gamification it is a mechanism by which game design components are implemented in non-game environments There are different studies on educational programs that prove the effectiveness of using technologies and gamification with children to promote healthy habits in the short term Using game-based education children experience opportunities to solve problems through analytical thinking and improve specific skills through training and adequate feedback Engagement is also essential for programs designed to promote healthy behaviors

The nursing role of a child with NS includes relief from edema enhanced nutritional status conservation energy supplying sufficient information about the disease considering the importance of compliance with the medication and nutritional therapy and prevention of infection as well as relapse The nursing Insufficient knowledge poor compliance to medications and health-related advice have diverse effects on children with NS including frequent relapse drug toxicity higher rates of complications increased healthcare cost of NS and high morbidity and mortality rates In this study we use empowering school-age childrens and their caregivers education through gamification to support childrens self-care
