Ethnographic evaluation of usability, understandability, and acceptance of the MY PD-CARE digital tool to facilitate Parkinson's disease symptom tracking and patients' and care partners' communications with the treating healthcare professional: the SELF-AWARE study.
Background and aim: The MY PD-CARE digital tool is intended to empower people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and care partners to actively identify and track changes in key symptoms of advancing PD and to facilitate discussions with healthcare professionals (HCPs). MY PD-CARE was adapted from MANAGE-PD, a validated, web-based tool that helps HCPs identify patients with inadequate symptom control. The SELF-AWARE (Study on Ethnographic research and human factors evaLuation For a tool to increase AWareness, self-Assessment, and Reporting of PD patiEnts uncontrolled on oral medication) study investigated MY PD-CARE ease of use, understandability, and acceptance among people with PD and their care partners.
Methods: SELF-AWARE was a non-interventional, cross-sectional, observational study. Participants (patients/care partners) assessed MY PD-CARE during 1-time virtual interviews conducted by trained medical anthropologists using qualitative ethnographic and human factor evaluation methods.
Results: In 90.7% of interviews (43 patients; 31 care partners), ≥ 1 patient/care partner participant was comfortable with technology. Most participants understood the purpose/objective of MY PD-CARE and agreed it was simple and easy to use. Although the medical terminology was not fully self-explanatory to many participants, half found the glossary helpful. Approximately 60% indicated MY PD-CARE could have more value with free-text input. Participants agreed that MY PD-CARE is useful for tracking symptoms and encouraging discussions with HCPs.
Conclusions: People with PD and their care partners perceived MY PD-CARE as useful and acceptable for tracking and increasing awareness of symptoms and facilitating discussions with HCPs. Participant feedback helped optimize the updated design of this digital tool.
期刊介绍:
Neurological Sciences is intended to provide a medium for the communication of results and ideas in the field of neuroscience. The journal welcomes contributions in both the basic and clinical aspects of the neurosciences. The official language of the journal is English. Reports are published in the form of original articles, short communications, editorials, reviews and letters to the editor. Original articles present the results of experimental or clinical studies in the neurosciences, while short communications are succinct reports permitting the rapid publication of novel results. Original contributions may be submitted for the special sections History of Neurology, Health Care and Neurological Digressions - a forum for cultural topics related to the neurosciences. The journal also publishes correspondence book reviews, meeting reports and announcements.
