Description

This study proposes a new form of preparation content to support hospitalization of pediatric patients. Through fieldwork and design thinking, a character-based content named “Hospitan” was developed to reduce children's fear and anxiety of pediatric patients. The content includes collectible cards and a quiz game, enabling children to engage positively with medical procedures. Evaluation with pediatric medical staff revealed high levels of acceptance. The findings suggest the potential of interactive preparation tools in fostering positive hospital experiences.
