Abstract

Introduction: Residential reasoning is a complex process that includes decisions on whether to age in place or to relocate. Ageing in the Right Place (ARP), a web-based housing counselling service was created to support older adults in this process. The study's aim was to evaluate the usability of the ARP as regards content, design, specific functions, and self-administration as a mode of delivery and to lay the ground for further optimisation.

Material and method: Nine women and five men (aged 66-82) completed a series of tasks using the ARP. Qualitative and quantitative usability data were collected through online interviews. Data were analysed using qualitative content analysis and descriptive statistics.

Results: Experiences of the specific functions, content, and design of the ARP were described as mainly positive. Additions to the content and optimisation to assist in the general navigation of the website were suggested. The participants disagreed regarding the preferred mode of delivery, which indicates a need for selectable options. A system usability scale median score of 84 indicated acceptable usability.

Conclusion: The ARP seems to have acceptable usability, which paves the way for further evaluation.

Significance: By enabling residential reasoning, older adults are supported to make proactive choices based on informed decisions.

在合适的地方养老--基于网络的住房咨询服务的可用性。
导言:居住推理是一个复杂的过程,包括决定是居家养老还是搬迁。居家养老(ARP)是一项基于网络的住房咨询服务,旨在为老年人在这一过程中提供支持。这项研究的目的是评估 ARP 在内容、设计、具体功能以及作为一种提供方式的自我管理方面的可用性,并为进一步优化奠定基础:九名女性和五名男性(年龄在 66-82 岁之间)使用 ARP 完成了一系列任务。通过在线访谈收集了定性和定量的可用性数据。使用定性内容分析和描述性统计对数据进行了分析:对 ARP 的具体功能、内容和设计的体验主要是积极的。与会者建议增加网站内容并优化网站导航。与会者对首选的交付方式意见不一,这表明需要有可选择的选项。系统可用性量表的中位数为 84 分,表明可用性可以接受:ARP似乎具有可接受的可用性,这为进一步评估铺平了道路:意义:通过实现居住推理,支持老年人在知情的基础上做出积极主动的选择。
