Brief Summary

The mission of corrections is to provide care, custody, and control for incarcerated individuals. United State prisons are required by constitutional law to provide adequate care for growing numbers of older inmates who will likely spend their final days in prison. This Phase I project focuses on research and development of highly interactive computer-based learning modules for inmate peer caregivers to promote an integrated systems approach to enhancing the care of the aged and dying in prisons.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • System Usability Scale

    The System Usability Scale (SUS) is a validated tool for assessing the usability and acceptability of technology-based products. It contains 10 questions that are rated on a scale from 1 to 5. "The participant's scores for each question are converted to a new number, added together and then multiplied by 2.5 to convert the original scores of 0-40 to 0-100." A score of 68 is considered "above average." Anything below a 68 is considered "below average." The higher the score, the higher the usability of the product.
