“…An explanation may be that, in several studies included in our review, the SG was not played enough to lead to significant changes. In three studies, the SG was played just once , and in two others, children were supposed to play freely at home but many did not . Future studies of SGs may benefit from testing the dose effect.…”

“…The unique learning goals and design provided by the interactive narrative and serious game supplement each other, offering exciting opportunities to educate children in solving their daily problems. Several previous games [ 34 , 35 ] taught self-management skills through the recognition of asthma triggers and symptoms and the appropriate use of medications. In this study, the MIRACLE program explicitly covered comprehensive lessons on asthma education, including the pathophysiology, recognition of asthma triggers and symptoms, inhalation techniques, adherence to medications, and compliance.…”

Background Nonadherence to medications, failure to prevent exposure to asthma triggers, lack of knowledge about using medications, and fixed mindsets contribute to poor asthma control in children. Digital learning could provide a new strategy for improving health-related outcomes in children with asthma. Objective The aim of this study is to develop and design a digital educational program, titled Module of Inhaler and Asthma Triggers for Children (MIRACLE), for Indonesian children with asthma. The program comprises an interactive narrative and a serious game. It was proposed to increase the understanding of asthma self-management, instruct on proper inhaler techniques, improve asthma control, and promote a growth mindset for children with asthma. Methods Two phases of research were conducted to develop the program. In the first phase, a literature search and two rounds of the Delphi technique were conducted to obtain agreement from an expert panel regarding elements of asthma self-management and the design of interactive narratives and a serious game. The expert panel item statements were evaluated using the content validity index (CVI). In the second phase, the SERES framework, Norma Engaging Multimedia Design, and Psychological Theory of Growth Mindset were applied to create a storyline, learn objectives, and game challenges. Results In the first phase, 40 experts were invited to participate in Delphi round 1. Forty responses were collected to generate 38 item statements that consisted of part 1, elements of asthma self-management (25 items), and part 2, design of an interactive narrative and a serious game (13 items); 38 experts were involved in Delphi round 2. In total, 24 statements in part 1 and 13 items in part 2 had item-CVI values >0.80. The average CVI was 0.9, which was considered acceptable. Four narrative plots and five game sessions were developed during the second phase. Challenges with the scenario, scoring, and feedback on asthma difficulties were designed to promote a growth mindset for learners. Conclusions We developed a culture-specific, computer-based asthma program containing an interactive narrative and a serious game to deliver asthma self-management and promote a growth mindset among Indonesian children.
