Abstract

Background: the Proximal Femur Fracture (PFF) is a serious public health concern, and the ABLEFIT Medical Device (MD) may be an added asset in the patient’s process of rehabilitation after PFF. Objectives: to assess usability and ergonomics of the ABLEFIT for patient rehabilitation after PFF. Methodology: a descriptive observational study, using a mixed methodology, with data sourcing through two focus groups and usability questionnaire. Focus groups made up of eight participants each, one group with end users and one with Nurses Specialized in Rehabilitation Nursing (NSRN). All ethical principals were met. The quantitative data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) v25 software, in addition to content analysis technique for focus groups. Results: the descriptive analysis of the quantitative data shows a positive appreciation, with higher scores in group A. Overall, participants considered the device to be useful for patient rehabilitation after PFF. Some group B participants perceived the learning process and usability of the medical device as complex. Conclusion: this study allowed to assess usability and improvement of the ABLEFIT for patient rehabilitation after PFF, and to contribute to better quality in Rehabilitation Nursing care services.

股骨近端骨折后康复医疗器械：可用性研究

背景：股骨近端骨折（PFF）是一个严重的公共卫生问题，而 ABLEFIT 医疗设备（MD）可能是 PFF 患者康复过程中的一项额外资产。目标：评估 ABLEFIT 在 PFF 患者康复过程中的可用性和人体工学。方法：描述性观察研究，采用混合方法，通过两个焦点小组和可用性问卷获取数据。焦点小组各由八名参与者组成，其中一组是最终用户，另一组是康复护理专业护士（NSRN）。所有活动均符合伦理原则。定量数据使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）v25 软件进行分析，此外还使用了焦点小组内容分析技术。结果：定量数据的描述性分析表明，A 组参与者对该设备给予了积极评价，得分较高。B 组的一些参与者认为医疗设备的学习过程和可用性比较复杂。结论：这项研究有助于评估 ABLEFIT 对 PFF 后患者康复的可用性和改进，并有助于提高康复护理服务的质量。
