Interventions

  • CesiKids Mobile-Based Psychological Resilience Program — OTHER
    The CesiKids Program will be a nurse-led, AI-supported mobile intervention to enhance psychological resilience in adolescents diagnosed with cancer. Grounded in Bronfenbrenner's Bioecological Theory, it will address interactions between adolescents and their family, peers, and clinical environments. Developed through a co-design process with nurses, recovered adolescents, and parents, the program will include AI-driven adaptive feedback and emotional support features. Delivered over four weeks with structured digital sessions, CesiKids will promote emotional regulation, coping, and resilience through interactive storytelling, reflection, and personalized guidance. This integrative model will combine ecological principles, AI personalization, and participatory design to create an innovative psychosocial care approach for hospitalized adolescents with cancer.

Study Details

This study will develop and evaluate a mobile-based co-design intervention (CesiKids) to enhance psychosocial resilience in hospitalized adolescents aged 12-18 diagnosed with cancer. The program will be created using Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Systems Theory and designed in collaboration with nurses, recovered adolescents, and parents. A randomized controlled design will be used. The intervention group will participate in a four-week structured program, while the control group will receive standard care. Psychosocial resilience and coping outcomes will be assessed at baseline, post-intervention, and follow-up. This research aims to offer an evidence-based, scalable model to support resilience among adolescents with cancer in clinical settings.

Arms

  • No Intervention: Standard Psychosocial Care Group
    Participants in this arm will receive standard psychological care routinely provided within the pediatric oncology clinic. No additional structured digital intervention or psychological resilience-based program will be administered. Standard support, including routine clinical communication and psychological services offered by the healthcare team, will continue as usual during the study period.
  • Experimental: CesiKids Intervention Group
    Participants in this group will receive the CesiKids program, a mobile-based psychological resilience intervention specifically developed for adolescents diagnosed with cancer. The program includes AI-supported guidance and interventions and consists of a total of four modules delivered over four weeks, with two structured sessions per module (eight sessions in total). Participants' engagement with the program and their assessment outcomes will be evaluated to determine the feasibility and effectiveness of the CesiKids intervention in enhancing psychological resilience and coping skills among adolescents with cancer.
