Parents make the decisions regarding their children's health care. Unfortunately, many parents are misinformed about HPV and HPV vaccines. In order to help parents make an informed decision regarding HPV vaccination for their daughter, the website was created for parents and their adolescent daughters. Usability testing was conducted with members of the target population to refine the website prior to conducting an efficacy trial.
Parents with girls (n=9) between the ages of 11-13 and 11-13 year old adolescents (n=10) were recruited for usability testing. The testing consisted of completing twelve scenarios where participants were asked to find specific information on the site. This was followed by a self-administered system usability scale-to determine ease of use and functionality of the website-and a user satisfaction survey.
Both adult and adolescent participants were able to easily find the requested information and reported an increased positive opinion of HPV vaccines after visiting the website. Both groups of participants reported favorable evaluations of using the website.
The website has the potential to help parents of adolescent daughters make an informed decision about HPV vaccination. A large scale efficacy trial will determine its usefulness.
父母为子女的医疗保健做出决策。不幸的是,许多父母对人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)和HPV疫苗存在错误认知。为了帮助父母就其女儿接种HPV疫苗做出明智决策,专门为父母及其青春期女儿创建了该网站。在进行疗效试验之前,对目标人群的成员进行了可用性测试,以完善该网站。
招募了有11至13岁女儿的父母(n = 9)以及11至13岁的青少年(n = 10)进行可用性测试。测试包括完成12个场景,要求参与者在该网站上查找特定信息。随后进行了自我管理的系统可用性量表测试,以确定该网站的易用性和功能,并进行了用户满意度调查。
成年和青少年参与者都能够轻松找到所需信息,并在访问该网站后对HPV疫苗的正面看法有所增加。两组参与者都对使用该网站给予了好评。
该网站有可能帮助青春期女儿的父母就HPV疫苗接种做出明智决策。大规模疗效试验将确定其效用。
