To assess usability and acceptability of () to virtually support family caregivers of people who have dementia.
In the first stage, nine caregivers/former caregivers assessed the interface of the platform that hosts . In the second stage, 10 caregivers assessed acceptability of the platform and answered the System Usability Scale (SUS), which varies from 0 to 100 points. A descriptive analysis of the quantitative data was performed, as well as a thematic analysis on the open questions. All the ethical aspects were respected.
The results of the first stage indicated a user-friendly interface of the system and relevant content of the program, with 55.6 and 77.8% of the participants assigning the maximum grade to these questions, respectively. Of the five possible points, the system's mean score was 3.7. In Stage 2, 80% of the caregivers rated the program as very useful and 100% would recommend it to other caregivers. Perception of the program's usability by the SUS scale was excellent ( = 86.5 ± 11.5).
This research allowed elaborating the final version of , considering usability and acceptability of the platform and the program for computers/notebooks, being a pioneer in evaluating it for use in smartphones. Future research studies will have to assess the effects of on the caregivers' mental health.
评估（）对痴呆症患者家庭护理者提供虚拟支持的可用性和可接受性。
在第一阶段，9名护理者/前护理者评估了承载（）的平台界面。在第二阶段，10名护理者评估了该平台的可接受性，并回答了系统可用性量表（SUS），该量表的分数范围为0至100分。对定量数据进行了描述性分析，并对开放性问题进行了主题分析。所有伦理方面均得到尊重。
第一阶段的结果表明该系统界面用户友好且程序内容相关，分别有55.6%和77.8%的参与者对这些问题给出了最高分。在五分制中，该系统的平均得分为3.7分。在第二阶段，80%的护理者认为该程序非常有用，100%的护理者会向其他护理者推荐它。根据SUS量表，对该程序可用性的感知非常好（=86.5±11.5）。
本研究综合考虑了该平台及电脑/笔记本程序的可用性和可接受性，从而制定出（）的最终版本，这在评估其在智能手机上的应用方面尚属首次。未来的研究将必须评估（）对护理者心理健康的影响。
