Picture My Participation (PmP) is a picture-supported child-report instrument of participation of children with disabilities.
This study described the development of a mobile application of the PmP Traditional Chinese version (PmP-C) and evaluated its usability.
The PmP-C App includes features that allow the input of a child's demographics, identification of frequency and involvement of 22 culturally appropriate activities, selection of the three most important activities and the specification of the environmental facilitators and barriers. The usability test was conducted with 10 healthcare workers, who interviewed 10 children with disabilities aged 6-12 years. The healthcare workers completed a usability questionnaire and were asked to provide feedback on the ease of use, learning, satisfaction and perceived usefulness.
The mean score for the usability questionnaire ranged from 2.7 to 4.6 out of 5.0. The feedback indicated that the interface was simple to operate by the healthcare workers and was attractive and motivating to children. Improvements of layout design, operation instructions and technical problems were recommended, which contributed to the app program optimization.
The PmP-C App provides a practical tool with initial support for usability to enable active engagement and communication of children with disabilities with healthcare providers.
“描绘我的参与”(Picture My Participation,PmP)是一种以图片为辅助的残疾儿童参与情况报告工具。
本研究描述了PmP中文版(PmP-C)移动应用程序的开发过程,并对其可用性进行评估。
PmP-C应用程序具备输入儿童人口统计学信息、识别22项符合文化背景的活动的频率和参与情况、选择三项最重要的活动以及明确环境促进因素和障碍等功能。对10名医护人员进行了可用性测试,他们采访了10名6至12岁的残疾儿童。医护人员完成了一份可用性调查问卷,并被要求就易用性、学习情况、满意度和感知有用性提供反馈。
可用性调查问卷的平均得分在5.0分制中为2.7至4.6分。反馈表明,该界面医护人员操作起来很简单,对儿童有吸引力且能激发他们的积极性。建议对布局设计、操作说明和技术问题进行改进,这有助于应用程序的优化。
PmP-C应用程序提供了一个实用工具,并初步支持其可用性,以促进残疾儿童与医护人员的积极互动和沟通。
