--- _id: '6940' abstract: - lang: eng text: " Methods - \r\n \r\n In a multicenter randomised controlled trial (RCT), patients with FAP (\r\n N\r\n \  = 166, age 5–17 years,\r\n M\r\n  = 10.8, SD = 3.31; 53.6% female) and their parents were randomly assigned to an intervention group (IG: access to the website before the first measurement) or a control group (CG: no access to the website during data collection). The primary outcome was health literacy (knowledge and health behaviour) and secondary outcomes were abdominal pain symptoms and the physician‐patient/parent interactions. Group differences were analysed using\r\n t\r\n ‐tests and multilevel models.\r\n \r\n
\r\n \ Results - \r\n Patients in the IG who visited the website demonstrated significantly higher initial knowledge scores compared to the CG. Moreover, they reported significantly less pain‐related disability across three assessments over 3 months. Parents who visited the website rated the physician‐parent interaction significantly more positively than those in the CG.\r\n
\r\n Conclusions - \r\n The educational website efficiently increased patient knowledge about FAP and improved certain pain‐related behaviours. It serves as an effective tool in conveying information about FAP in clinical practice. Future applications could extend to preventive measures in schools and other settings.\r\n
\r\n Significance Statement - \r\n The educational website about functional abdominal pain is effective in transferring knowledge, reducing pain‐related disability, and improving physician‐parent interactions. It can support physicians in day‐to‐day clinical practice by referring patients to the website for further information and might be extended as a preventive measure in schools.\r\n " author: - first_name: Verena full_name: Neß, Verena last_name: Neß - first_name: Clarissa full_name: Humberg, Clarissa last_name: Humberg - first_name: Lisa‐Marie full_name: Rau, Lisa‐Marie last_name: Rau - first_name: Leandra full_name: Eidt, Leandra last_name: Eidt - first_name: Thomas full_name: Berger, Thomas last_name: Berger - first_name: Martin full_name: Claßen, Martin last_name: Claßen - first_name: Nils Christian full_name: Syring, Nils Christian last_name: Syring - first_name: Jens full_name: Berrang, Jens last_name: Berrang - first_name: Christine full_name: Vietor, Christine last_name: Vietor - first_name: Stephan full_name: Buderus, Stephan last_name: Buderus - first_name: Gerrit full_name: Hirschfeld, Gerrit id: '234690' last_name: Hirschfeld orcid: 0000-0003-2143-4564 orcid_put_code_url: https://api.orcid.org/v2.0/0000-0003-2143-4564/work/216243801 - first_name: Christina full_name: Becker‐Emden, Christina last_name: Becker‐Emden - first_name: Julia full_name: Wager, Julia last_name: Wager citation: alphadin: 'Neß, Verena ; Humberg, Clarissa ; Rau, Lisa‐Marie ; Eidt, Leandra ; Berger, Thomas ; Claßen, Martin ; Syring, Nils Christian ; Berrang, Jens ; u. a.: A Randomised Controlled Trial Testing the Efficacy of an Educational Website About Functional Abdominal Pain for Children and Adolescents.
