Abstract
Purpose/objective: To evaluate the acceptability and feasibility of testing the cognitive abilities of adults with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) via teleconference.
Research design: Data were collected prospectively at two study sites from 75 adults living with TSCI. Participants completed a series of self-report measures via an online survey platform, in addition to a brief battery of cognitive testing administered via audio-video teleconference. Modifications were made to select measures to allow for hands-free administration of all tasks.
Results: Feasibility was demonstrated by a 97.4% completion rate among the 77 participants who began the cognitive testing and approximately normal distributions for nearly all cognitive testing variables examined. No ceiling or floor effects were observed across cognitive testing variables. Review of acceptability ratings indicated that participants found this approach to cognitive testing to be highly acceptable.
Conclusion/implications: Our findings provide evidence for the feasibility and acceptability of administering cognitive testing via teleconference to adults living with TSCI. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2023 APA, all rights reserved).
期刊介绍:
Rehabilitation Psychology is a quarterly peer-reviewed journal that publishes articles in furtherance of the mission of Division 22 (Rehabilitation Psychology) of the American Psychological Association and to advance the science and practice of rehabilitation psychology. Rehabilitation psychologists consider the entire network of biological, psychological, social, environmental, and political factors that affect the functioning of persons with disabilities or chronic illness. Given the breadth of rehabilitation psychology, the journal"s scope is broadly defined.
