简要总结
The purpose of this study is to examine the acceptability and feasibility of a brief behavioural intervention involving Tetris gameplay to prevent intrusive traumatic memories in parents after paediatric intensive care. The present acceptability and feasibility study seeks to answer the following questions: (1) Is this intervention acceptable to parents whose children have been admitted to PICU, (2) how practical is it to deliver the intervention in this setting, (3) willingness of hospital staff to be involved in the recruitment of participants, (4) after having taken part in the intervention themselves would parents have been willing to consent to their child taking part in the intervention, and (5) discover any challenges or barriers in carrying out this study. Furthermore, this study aims to estimate recruitment, withdrawal and dropout rate, in order to act as a preliminary test of the effect of the intervention and inform sample size estimation. The findings from this study will inform the design of a randomised control trial.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of flashbacks recorded by participants in a Flashback Record
时间窗: Flashback Record will be returned to a researcher at one week follow-up
The primary outcome will be the number of times a participant experiences intrusive traumatic memories related to PICU and/or the events leading to their child's admission to PICU. This will be measured using a daily pen-and-paper diary in which participants will record the occurrence of intrusive memories in everyday life for one week, starting on the day after the participant completes baseline assessment (Day 1) and completed for seven days
次要结局
- Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(One week and one month follow-up)
- Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R)(One week and one month follow-up)
- Pediatric Emotional Distress Scale(One week and one month follow-up)
- Children's Revised Impact of Events Scale-13 Parent Version.(One week and one month follow-up)
