Digital Lifestyle Intervention to Promote Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Health Literacy in Children With Congenital Heart Disease and Their Guardians
Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Behavioral
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
Congenital heart disease (CHD) affects approximately 1% of live births, and children with CHD often fail to meet WHO physical activity guidelines. Digital interventions to promote physical activity in CHD patients are limited. This study will develop and test a 12-week digital lifestyle intervention for children (ages 8-13) and their guardians, using a Garmin Vivofit Jr. 2 wearable to continuously monitor physical activity (PA). We will assess its impact on children's moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA), daily activity (steps per day), quality of life, nutrition, and health literacy, as well as the quality of life and health literacy of their parents.
