Summary

This project will create a video-based app that empowers home healthcare workers to communicate with clients and their families about managing health and safety hazards in client homes. Using a participatory approach, home healthcare workers will 1) review and revise video scripts and recordings that demonstrate effective and less effective communication strategies when talking to clients, families, and other stakeholders about health and safety hazards and 2) contribute to the creation and review of an interactive app that they perceive to be useful, usable, and desirable.

Video and App Review

Scenario Review: The scripts and/or videos will be iteratively reviewed by individual and small groups of home healthcare personnel using Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or similar. The participants will review scripts and/or recordings of the scripts and discuss how well each situation has been represented, how to improve it, and whether it is applicable in their agency. App Review: Following review of the scenarios, participants will review the smartphone app currently under development, including the control buttons, their placements, and other features of the screen interface. The first 9-12 participants (approximately) will be asked to provide feedback on the app's layout, control locations, and overall appearance. Once suggested changes have been made, the app will then be reviewed by the remaining participants for final review and usability assessment.
