This regional pilot site 'end-user attitudes' study explored nurses' experiences and impressions of using the Nurses' Behavioural Assistant (NBA) (a knowledge-based, interactive ehealth system) to assist them to better respond to behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) and will be reported here.
Focus groups were conducted, followed by a four-week pilot site 'end-user attitudes' trial of the NBA at a regional aged care residential facility (ACRF). Brief interviews were conducted with consenting nursing staff.
Focus group feedback (N = 10) required only minor cosmetic changes to the NBA prototype. Post pilot site end-user interview data (N = 10) indicated that the regional ACRF nurses were positive and enthusiastic about the NBA, however several issues were also identified.
Overall the results supported the utility of the NBA to promote a person centred care approach to managing BPSD. Slight modifications may be required to maximise its uptake across all ACRF nursing staff.
本地区试点“终端用户态度”研究探讨了护士使用护士行为助手(NBA,一种基于知识的交互式电子健康系统)协助他们更好地应对痴呆症行为和心理症状(BPSD)的经历和印象,本文将对此进行报告。
开展了焦点小组讨论,随后在一家地区性老年护理机构(ACRF)对NBA进行了为期四周的试点“终端用户态度”试验。对同意参与的护理人员进行了简短访谈。
焦点小组反馈(N = 10)表明只需对NBA原型进行微小的外观修改。试点结束后对终端用户的访谈数据(N = 10)显示,该地区ACRF的护士对NBA持积极和热情的态度,但也发现了一些问题。
总体而言,结果支持了NBA在促进以患者为中心的BPSD管理护理方法方面的效用。可能需要进行一些细微修改,以最大限度地提高所有ACRF护理人员对其的接受程度。
