• 1 other identifier: GRT00059789
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 29
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 2

Brief Summary

The objective of this study is to identify home safety hazards for adolescents with acquired brain injury and to identify adaptations to the home healthcare virtual simulation training system (HH-VSTS) to improve the user experience for adolescents with ABI

Conditions

Acquired Brain Injury; Traumatic Brain Injury; Stroke

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Interview Questions

  Questions focus on hazard identification, injury risk, factors associated with injury risk.

  Baseline

• Usefulness, Usability, and Desirability Assessment

  Used to fully assess the usability and appeal of the HH-VSTS, and understand potential modifications

  Baseline

• Hazard Rating Scale

  Hazards are categorized by frequency of exposure and severity on a two-axis grid, based on participant perceptions.

  Baseline

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Interview

  one time administration

Study Arms (3)

Adolescents with Acquired Brain Injury

Adolescents with traumatic brain injury, stroke, and other acquired brain injury ages 12 - 17 will participate in interviews about home safety. They also will have the opportunity to look at and, if desired, try the virtual simulation training system and provide feedback about how to make it more appropriate for adolescents with brain injury, including gamifying it and ensuring appropriate hazards.

Caregivers of Adolescents with Acquired Brain Injury

Caregivers of adolescents with traumatic brain injury, stroke, and other acquired brain injury will participate in interviews about home safety. They also will have the opportunity to look at the virtual simulation training system and provide feedback about how to make it more appropriate for adolescents with brain injury, including gamifying it and ensuring appropriate hazards.

Healthcare Workers

This cohort includes health professionals involved in discharge planning and community re-integration of adolescents with ABI. Healthcare workers will participate in interviews about home safety. They also will have the opportunity to look at the virtual simulation training system and provide feedback about how to make it more appropriate for adolescents with brain injury, including gamifying it and ensuring appropriate hazards.
