Clinical Trial Summary

This project will test feasibility to deliver an online education and skill development program for family/caregivers of older adults recovering from a surgically repaired low-trauma hip fracture. We will also recruit health providers to review and provide feedback on the eCourse before we test its feasibility and acceptability with caregivers.

Description:

This is a cross-sectional mixed methods study to obtain feedback from health providers and family caregivers on eCourse for the post-hip fracture period. For participants who access the course via the PI's website, participants will only be asked to provide feedback on the content and layout of the eCourse.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	eCourse Acceptibility	Participants will be asked to rate (using a Likert scale 1 to 10) perceptions of acceptability of the (1) delivery mode and (2) program. All three questions are rate from 1 (lowest) - 10 (highest). A higher score is better.	Day 1
Primary	eCourse Feasibility	Participants will be asked to rate (using a Likert scale 1 to 10) perceptions of feasibility of the (1) delivery mode and (2) program. All three questions are rate from 1 (lowest) - 10 (highest). A higher score is better.	Day 1
Primary	eCourse Satisfaction	We will ask people to rate their satisfaction with the eCourse [1 (not satisfied) to 10 (very satisfied)]. The higher the score the better.	Day 1
Primary	eCourse Usefulness	We will ask people to rate their perception of the usefulness for the eCourse [1 (not useful) to 10 (very useful)]. The higher the score the better.	Day 1
Primary	Modified Computer Self-Efficacy Scale	Questionnaires will assess participants' perceptions of self-efficacy (Modified Computer Self-Efficacy Scale) for using a computer and the online program. Scale of 1-10, 1 (not at all confident) - 10 (completely confident). The higher the score the better.	Day 1
Primary	Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2	Questionnaires will assess participants' perceptions on technology usability (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2). Participants will rate on a scale of 1-5, how much they disagree/agree with statements. 1 (strongly disagree) - 5 (strongly agree)	Day 1
Primary	Caregivers' eCourse semi-structured interviews	We will conduct semi-structured interviews with caregivers to further explore perceptions and experience with eCourse and caregiving after hip fracture.	Day 1
Primary	Feedback on eCourse for participants who enrol via the PI's website: PEMAT	Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) to evaluate the understandability and actionability of the material in our eCourse.	Day 1
Secondary	Caregiver Strain Index	Ten questions on factors affected by caregiving with a yes or no response.	Day 1
Secondary	EQ5D-5L (health-related quality of life)	Five domains of questions with five responses each. Calculate an index of 0 (lowest) - 1 (highest). There is also a Visual Analogue Scale [1 (worse health) - 100 (best health)]	Day 1
Secondary	ICECAP-O (general quality of life)	Five domains of questions with four responses each. Calculate an index of 0 (lowest) - 1 (highest).	Day 1
