Abstract

Mobile phone reminding apps can be used by people with acquired brain injury (ABI) to compensate for memory impairments. This pilot feasibility trial aimed to establish the feasibility of a randomized controlled trial comparing reminder apps in an ABI community treatment setting. Adults with ABI and memory difficulty who completed the three-week baseline were randomized (n = 29) and allocated to Google Calendar or ApplTree app. Those who attended an intervention session (n = 21) watched a 30-minute video tutorial of the app then completed reminder setting assignments to ensure they could use the app. Guidance was given if needed from a clinician or researcher. Those who passed the app assignments (n = 19) completed a three-week follow up. Recruitment was lower than target (n = 50), retention rate was 65.5%, adherence rate was 73.7%. Qualitative feedback highlighted issues that may impact usability of reminding apps introduced within community brain injury rehabilitation. Feasibility results indicate a full trial would require 72 participants to demonstrate the minimally clinically important efficacy difference between apps, should a difference exist. Most participants (19 of 21) given an app could learn to use it with the short tutorial. Design features implemented in ApplTree have potential to improve the uptake and utility of reminding apps.

AppReminders--后天性脑损伤患者记忆辅助应用程序的可行性随机对照试验。
后天性脑损伤(ABI)患者可以使用手机提醒应用程序来弥补记忆障碍。这项试点可行性试验旨在确定在 ABI 社区治疗环境中比较提醒应用程序的随机对照试验的可行性。对完成三周基线测试的有 ABI 和记忆障碍的成年人进行随机分组(n = 29),并分配到谷歌日历或 ApplTree 应用程序。参加干预课程的人(n = 21)观看了 30 分钟的应用程序视频教程,然后完成了提醒设置作业,以确保他们能够使用该应用程序。如有需要,临床医生或研究人员会给予指导。通过应用程序作业的人员(19 人)完成了为期三周的随访。招募人数低于目标(50 人),保留率为 65.5%,坚持率为 73.7%。定性反馈强调了一些问题,这些问题可能会影响在社区脑损伤康复中引入的提醒应用程序的可用性。可行性结果表明,全面试验需要 72 名参与者,才能证明应用程序之间存在最小临床意义的疗效差异(如果存在差异的话)。大多数参与者(21 人中的 19 人)都能通过简短的教程学会使用应用程序。ApplTree 中的设计功能有可能提高提醒应用程序的使用率和实用性。

期刊介绍: Neuropsychological Rehabilitation publishes human experimental and clinical research related to rehabilitation, recovery of function, and brain plasticity. The journal is aimed at clinicians who wish to inform their practice in the light of the latest scientific research; at researchers in neurorehabilitation; and finally at researchers in cognitive neuroscience and related fields interested in the mechanisms of recovery and rehabilitation. Papers on neuropsychological assessment will be considered, and special topic reviews (2500-5000 words) addressing specific key questions in rehabilitation, recovery and brain plasticity will also be welcomed. The latter will enter a fast-track refereeing process.
