Summary

The Observational Risk Assessment for Contractures- Longitudinal Evaluation (ORACLE) is a risk assessment tool for contractures. The tool was originally designed and developed by a group of multidisciplinary health professionals within Dorset Healthcare University NHS Foundation Trust (DHUFT). Bournemouth University and DHUFT sponsored a match funded studentship to establish the academic validation of the tool.

The results from the previously conducted studies (Phase One) as part of this project: (i) a systematic review of the literature and an (ii) online Delphi survey with field experts provided initial evidence for further development, content validity, and modification of the tool.

The current study (Phase Two) aims to establish the psychometric validation, acceptability, and usability of the modified tool through formal testing on adult care home residents in Dorset. It consists of two streams of work: Stream A aims to establish the psychometric validation by completing the ORACLE assessments on adult care home residents. The assessments will be performed by the care home staff. In Stream B, a realist evaluation will be performed to explore the usability and practicality of ORACLE with selected care home managers and staff who were involved in organising and completing the assessments on ORACLE respectively.

The results from this two-phase design will then inform further revisions of the tool if required.
