Färdigheter i teknikanvändning bland äldre med/utan kognitiv nedsättning eller förvärvad hjärnskada – en klusteranalys
- 2017
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Bakgrund: För att kunna utveckla stödjande interventioner till personer med svårigheter i användning av vardagstekniksåsom mobiltelefoner, biljettautomater och mikrovågsugnar så behövs en detaljerad information om styrkor ochbegränsningar i specifika färdigheter i teknikanvändning.Syfte: Att undersöka om (a) olika distinkta kluster av färdigheter som krävs för att använda vardagsteknik kan identifierasi en blandad grupp av teknikanvändare samt (b) om dessa färdighetskluster är kopplade till ålder, kön, diagnos samt typav vardagsteknik.Metod: 661 bedömningar av hanterande av vardagsteknik med Management of Everyday Technology Assessment(META) från 203 personer (äldre med/utan kognitiv nedsättning eller förvärvad hjärnskada) användes för en retrospektivanalys. Ward’s metod i kombination med en modell for hierarkisk klusteranalys användes för att fastställa och definierafärdighetsklustren. Hypotesprövande parametrisk statistik användes för sambandsanalyser.Resultat/preliminärt resultat: Fyra distinkta kluster av färdigheter kunde identifieras i data. Varje person uppvisade oftastflera olika klusterprofiler i sitt hanterande av vardagsteknik och färdighetsklustren var inte kopplade till diagnos, kön ellertyp av vardagsteknik.Slutsats: Fynden från studien stödjer ett mer dyadiskt baserat person-vardagsteknik tillvägagångssätt i bedömningen avvardagsteknikanvändning. Informationen från de definierade klustren kan också användas for att utveckla fokuseradeguider for intervention och design i vardagsteknikanvändning.

- Background: As the use of everyday technology is increasingly important for participation in daily activities, more in-depth knowledge of everyday technology use in relation to diagnosis and gender is needed. The purpose of this study was to investigate the stability of the perceived challenge of a variety of everyday technologies across different samples of varying diagnoses including both males and females.Methods: This cross-sectional study used 643 data records from clinical and research samples, including persons with dementia or related disorders, acquired brain injury, intellectual disability, various mental or medical disorders, and adults without known diagnoses. The Everyday Technology Use Questionnaire, comprising 93 everyday technology artifacts and services (items) measuring the level of everyday technology challenge and relevance of and perceived ability to use these was used for data gathering. A two-faceted Rasch model in combination with differential item functioning (DIF) analyses were used for comparing item hierarchies across samples.Results: Only three items (3.2%) demonstrated a clinically relevant DIF by gender, and nine items (9.7%) by diagnosis.Discussion: The findings support a stable hierarchy of everyday technology challenge in home and community that can facilitate planning of an accessible and inclusive society from a technological departure point.Implications for RehabilitationThe ability to manage everyday technology is increasingly important for participation in everyday activities at home and in the community for people with and without disabilities.This study demonstrates that differences in perceived challenges in using various everyday technologies across gender and diagnosis are minimal.The findings provide evidence of no or minor systematic bias in testing when using the Everyday Technology Use Questionnaire in clinical practice and research.Empirical knowledge about the perceived challenge of specific everyday technologies of people with variations in gender or diagnosis is still sparse, hence this study can inspire practice and future research.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND:In order to develop supporting interventions for people demonstrating problems ET use, a detailed level of description of strengths and deficits is needed.AIMS:To explore clusters of specific performance skill required when using ET, and to evaluate if and in what way such clusters are associated with age, gender, diagnosis, and types of ETs managed.MATERIALS AND METHODS:A secondary analysis of 661 data records from 203 heterogeneous samples of participants using the Management of Everyday Technology Assessment (META) was used. Ward's method and a hierarchical tree cluster analysis were used to determine and define the skill clusters.RESULTS:Four distinct clusters of performance skill item profiles were found, across the 661 data records. These were then, based on each individuals' cluster profiles in managing ET, categorized into two groups. The two groups were associated with, diagnosis and type of ETs managed.CONCLUSIONS AND SIGNIFICANCE:The findings support a more dyadic person-ET approach in evaluation of ET management. The information from the skill clusters can be used to develop targeted intervention guides for occupational therapy and healthcare.
