Abstract

Introduction: While there is growing evidence of the benefits of assistive technologies little is known about their adoption under real circumstances and prevalence for everyday use.

Objective: The aim of this analysis therefore was (i) to investigate the adoption rates in the real world and (ii) to identify potential determinants of their adoption by care-dependant persons and family caregivers.

Methods: The present study is a secondary analysis based on the data set of the VdK study on home care arrangements (n=53,678). The analysis of the adoption rates included 22,666 care-dependant persons and caregivers, the identification of potential determinants via binary logistic regressions included 5,275 persons.

Results: Emergency call systems and technical (smart) aids reached an adoption rate of 40.4 % (care-dependant persons) and 55.3 % (family caregivers). Fall detectors, orientations aids, nursing apps and monitoring systems were used in less than 5 % of the cases. Care degree and the use of an ambulatory nursing service increased the likelihood of using technical aids.

Conclusion: It can be concluded that innovative and sophisticated types of assistive technologies are still rather scarcely used for home care arrangements in the real world despite large research efforts in the last twenty years.

辅助技术在现实世界中的采用和决定因素:来自VdK研究的结果。

导言:虽然越来越多的证据表明辅助技术的好处，但人们对它们在实际情况下的采用情况和日常使用的普及情况知之甚少。目的:因此，本分析的目的是(i)调查现实世界中的收养率，(ii)确定依赖照顾者和家庭照顾者收养儿童的潜在决定因素。方法:本研究基于VdK家庭护理安排研究的数据集(n=53,678)进行二次分析。对采用率的分析包括22,666名照顾依赖者和照顾者，通过二元逻辑回归识别潜在的决定因素包括5,275人。结果:紧急呼叫系统和技术(智能)辅助设备采用率分别为40.4%(护理依赖者)和55.3%(家庭护理者)。在不到5%的病例中使用了跌倒探测器、定向辅助设备、护理应用程序和监测系统。护理程度和门诊护理服务的使用增加了使用技术辅助的可能性。结论:可以得出的结论是，尽管在过去的二十年中进行了大量的研究工作，但创新和复杂类型的辅助技术仍然很少用于现实世界的家庭护理安排。

期刊介绍： This book series was started in 1990 to promote research conducted under the auspices of the EC programmes’ Advanced Informatics in Medicine (AIM) and Biomedical and Health Research (BHR) bioengineering branch. A driving aspect of international health informatics is that telecommunication technology, rehabilitative technology, intelligent home technology and many other components are moving together and form one integrated world of information and communication media.
