The Participation and Environment Measure Plus (PEM+) is a new electronic health application to help caregivers contribute to client-centered and participation-focused care planning for their young child. The PEM+ is designed to help caregivers build on their participation assessment by determining priority activities, setting specific goals, and identifying strategies for goal attainment.
To examine the usability of the PEM+.
A single-arm usability trial.
Two early intervention and early childhood educational programs.
Six caregivers of children ages 0-3 yr with developmental delay and receiving rehabilitation services.
Caregivers who were eligible and enrolled were given access to the PEM+ for 1 wk and instructed to complete one iteration.
Usability was assessed according to caregivers' report of PEM+'s technical effectiveness and ease of use, ease of learning, and user satisfaction via the Usefulness, Satisfaction, and Ease of Use questionnaire.
All caregivers completed the PEM+ online once and in its entirety (mean completion time = 13.6 min). Mean technical effectiveness ratings ranged from 5.7 to 6.3 out of 7.0, and mean ease of use, ease of learning, and user satisfaction ratings were 4.4, 5.4, and 4.2 out of 6.0, respectively.
Caregivers of young children can navigate the PEM+. Trends in survey feedback informed optimizations for the PEM+ before further feasibility testing.
This study provides preliminary evidence for a promising tool that can help to customize the way practitioners partner with families to create a plan for occupational therapy services.
参与和环境测量升级版（PEM+）是一款新型电子健康应用程序，旨在帮助护理人员为其幼儿制定以客户为中心且注重参与的护理计划。PEM+旨在通过确定优先活动、设定具体目标以及确定实现目标的策略，帮助护理人员在其参与评估的基础上更进一步。
检验PEM+的可用性。
单臂可用性试验。
两个早期干预和幼儿教育项目。
六名0至3岁发育迟缓且正在接受康复服务儿童的护理人员。
符合条件并登记的护理人员可使用PEM+一周，并被要求完成一个迭代。
通过有用性、满意度和易用性问卷，根据护理人员对PEM+技术有效性、易用性、易学习性和用户满意度的报告来评估可用性。
所有护理人员均完整地在线完成了一次PEM+（平均完成时间 = 13.6分钟）。技术有效性平均评分在7.0分制下为5.7至6.3分，易用性、易学习性和用户满意度平均评分在6.0分制下分别为4.4分、5.4分和4.2分。
幼儿护理人员能够操作PEM+。调查反馈趋势为PEM+在进一步进行可行性测试之前的优化提供了依据。
本研究为一种有前景的工具提供了初步证据，该工具可帮助从业者与家庭合作定制职业治疗服务计划的方式。
