The overall aim of the ACTION research project (Assisting Carers using Telematic Interventions to meet Older person's Needs) is to maintain or enhance the autonomy, independence and quality of life of frail older and disabled people and their family carers by providing information, advice and support in the home. The authors report on the first phase of evaluation conducted using a case-study approach to test the ACTION system in several family carers' homes in Sheffield, England. The results reflect the realities of conducting an applied research technology project and are discussed with reference to the government's recent national strategy for carers. The authors acknowledge the need for further evaluation studies to explore the key issues raised within this preliminary evaluation phase.
“行动”研究项目（利用远程信息处理干预措施满足老年人需求以协助护理人员）的总体目标是，通过在家中提供信息、建议和支持，维持或提高体弱老年人及残疾人士及其家庭护理人员的自主性、独立性和生活质量。作者报告了使用案例研究方法进行的第一阶段评估情况，该评估在英国谢菲尔德的几个家庭护理人员家中测试了“行动”系统。研究结果反映了开展应用研究技术项目的实际情况，并结合政府近期针对护理人员的国家战略进行了讨论。作者承认有必要开展进一步的评估研究，以探讨这一初步评估阶段提出的关键问题。
