Adolescent Surgery Roadmap Feasibility and Acceptability Study
University of Michigan
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the feasibility and acceptability of using a mobile health app, Ane-Roadmap, designed to support adolescents (ages 12-17) undergoing painful surgeries and their caregivers. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can adolescent surgery patients and their caregivers be successfully enrolled in the study, with at least 40% of those invited choosing to participate? * Will participants actively use the mobile app, completing at least two activities per week for at least half of the study period, either individually and/or as a caregiver-adolescent pair? Participants will: * Use the Ane-Roadmap app during their post-surgery recovery period to complete resilience-building activities aimed at improving wellbeing * Use the app either individually or together as a caregiver-adolescent pair. * Complete surveys regarding risk factors for adverse postsurgical pain outcomes and physical and psychological symptoms experienced postoperatively * Some participants will complete a semi-structured interview in which experiences with the study and intervention activities will be elicited
