In this two part study, we will seek 1. general feedback on the feasibility of 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 2. test its feasibility and acceptability with family caregivers.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (8)

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
