Opportunities and Design Considerations for Peer Support in a Hospital Setting
summary
A mixed-methods study collects 146 survey responses with 131 free-text answers and runs interviews with 12 pediatric patients (ages 7–17) and 3 caregivers using card-based prompts. Analysis surfaces five concrete needs: asking about procedures and meds, learning about providers, reporting/preventing errors, exchanging emotional support, and managing downtime. Results show strong willingness to share advice, favor EHR-driven peer matching, and reveal a split preference between real-time chat for kids and asynchronous knowledgebases for caregivers.
