To explore the experiences of new motorised mobility scooter users from the perspectives of the assessment and training of scooter skills.
Descriptive secondary analysis of qualitative data.
Community.
20 New users of motorised mobility scooters.
Not applicable.
Directed qualitative analysis of up to four semi-structured interviews over the course of the first year of scooter use, to identify themes and sub-themes that could inform recommendations regarding assessment and training protocols.
We identified two themes. The first related to . As one example of the sub-themes, there were many excerpts that dealt with the use of skills in various combinations and permutations that were used to carry out activities during everyday life and participate in society. These excerpts suggested the importance of training skills in combination to facilitate skill transfer (or generalizability). The second theme is related to . As one example of the sub-themes, there were several excerpts that dealt with scooter security. These excerpts led to the recommendation that removing and inserting the scooter key should be added to the assessment criteria for the "turns power on and off" skill of the Wheelchair Skills Test (WST) and its questionnaire version (WST-Q).
The experiences of scooter users over the first year of receiving a scooter appear to be relevant to the assessment and training of scooter skills and suggest themes for further study. NCT02696213 IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONThe experiences of new scooter users are highly relevant to the assessment and training of scooter skills.These experiences suggest both to the Wheelchair Skills Program Manual.
从电动代步车技能评估和培训的角度，探索电动代步车新用户的体验。
对定性数据进行描述性二次分析。
社区。
20名电动代步车新用户。
不适用。
在电动代步车使用的第一年，对多达四次半结构化访谈进行定向定性分析，以确定可为评估和培训方案建议提供参考的主题和子主题。
我们确定了两个主题。第一个主题与……相关。作为子主题的一个例子，有许多摘录涉及在日常生活和参与社会活动中用于开展活动的各种技能组合和排列的使用。这些摘录表明了综合培训技能以促进技能转移（或通用性）的重要性。第二个主题与……相关。作为子主题的一个例子，有几段摘录涉及代步车安全问题。这些摘录导致建议将取下和插入代步车钥匙应添加到轮椅技能测试（WST）及其问卷版本（WST-Q）的“打开和关闭电源”技能评估标准中。
电动代步车用户在收到代步车的第一年的体验似乎与电动代步车技能的评估和培训相关，并提出了进一步研究的主题。NCT02696213 对康复的启示新代步车用户的体验与电动代步车技能的评估和培训高度相关。这些体验对《轮椅技能计划手册》都有启示。
