| Περιγραφή: | Background: Studies evaluating the usability of mobile-phone assessments in older adults are limited. Objective: This study aims to identify design-based barriers and facilitators to mobile app survey completion among 2 samples of older adults; those in the Framingham Heart Study and a more diverse sample from a hospital-based setting. Methods: We used mixed methods to identify challenging and beneficial features of the mobile app in participants from the electronic Framingham Heart Study (n=15; mean age of 72 years; 6/15, 40% women; 15/15, 100% non-Hispanic and White) and among participants recruited from a hospital-based setting (n=15; mean age of 71 years; 7/15, 47% women; 3/15, 20% Hispanic; and 8/15, 53% non-White). A variety of app-based measures with different response formats were tested, including self-reported surveys, pictorial assessments (to indicate body pain sites), and cognitive testing tasks (eg, Trail Making Test and Stroop). Participants completed each measure using a think-aloud protocol, while being audio- and video-recorded with a qualitative interview conducted at the end of the session. Recordings were coded for participant usability errors by 2 pairs of coders. Participants completed the Mobile App Rating Scale to assess the app (response range 1=inadequate to 5=excellent). Results: In electronic Framingham Heart Study participants, the average total Mobile App Rating Scale score was 7.6 (SD 1.1), with no significant differences in the hospital-based sample. In general, participants were pleased with the app and found it easy to use. A large minority had at least 1 navigational issue, most committed only once. Most older adults did not have difficulty completing the self-reported multiple-choice measures unless it included lengthy instructions but participants had usability issues with the Stroop and Trail Making Test. Conclusions: Our methods and results help guide app development and app-based survey construction for older adults, while also giving consideration to sociodemographic ... |
