“…The EISA assesses satisfaction with the following 10 IADL domains: transportation; finances; shopping; health and wellness; nutrition; communication; household and security management; memory, planning, and organization; leisure; and education and employment (see the Appendix ; Quamar et al., 2021 ). Although memory, planning, and organization are not conventional IADL domains, they were included in the EISA scale, because they are vital for completing IADLs with an iCAD ( Quamar et al., 2020 ).…”

“…More important, to the best of our knowledge, no self-report IADL assessments exist that have been specifically designed and validated for assessing satisfaction with performing IADLs for PWDs using an iCAD ( Fessler et al., 2022 ). On the basis of the Quamar et al. (2020) exploratory review, only two of the existing self-report IADL assessments have limited relevance and clinical applicability for assessing satisfaction with performing IADLs for PWDs using an iCAD: the Everyday Technology Use Questionnaire (ETUQ; Rosenberg et al., 2009 ) and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living– Compensation scale (IADL–C; Schmitter-Edgecombe et al., 2014 ).…”

Importance: Currently, no self-report instruments exist for assessing satisfaction with performing instrumental activities of daily living and occupations for people with disabilities using internet-connected assistive devices like accessible smartphones, tablets, laptops, and apps. Objective: To assess the test–retest reliability and internal consistency of the Electronic Instrumental activities of daily living Satisfaction Assessment (EISA) self-report outcome tool. Design: Repeated-measures cohort study with a time frame of 7 to 21 days. Setting: Multicity online recruitment at assistive technology clinics, nongovernmental organizations, advocacy and peer support groups for people with disabilities, and higher education institutions. Participants: Eighty-four participants with disabilities, age 18 yr or older, with a mean age of 43.3 yr (range = 19–75 yr), and 57% female. Intervention: Not applicable. Outcomes and Measures: The a priori study hypotheses were that the EISA test–retest reliability scores would be above the minimum acceptable level (Rs > .80) and that internal consistency would be good (Cronbach’s α = .70–.90). Results: On the basis of the study data, the EISA, Version 1.0, demonstrated good test–retest reliability (Rs = .81) and excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .88). Conclusions and Relevance: The results of the test–retest reliability and internal consistency analyses provide good support for the EISA to be used in clinical settings. What This Article Adds: This article documents the reliability and internal consistency of, to our knowledge, the first-ever self-report instrument for assessing satisfaction with performance of everyday occupations for people with disabilities using internet-connected assistive devices such as smartphones, tablets, laptops, and apps.

“…Additionally, it is anticipated that such programs will facilitate the use of mobile apps for various purposes, including health management, entertainment, transportation, and social media interaction, thereby contributing to the overall well-being of older adults [ 21 ]. While the impact of ICT on ADLs has been acknowledged, more research needs to examine the influence of ICT on iADLs [ 22 ]. Given the increasing older adult population, there is a pressing need for a comprehensive understanding of effective empowerment and training interventions tailored to their unique needs [ 23 ].…”

Background Instrumental activities of daily living (iADLs) are crucial for older adults to live independently. Health care and technological advancements will increase the older adult population and life expectancy globally. Difficulties with iADLs impact older adults’ quality of life. Mobile apps can assist older adults, but many require help due to limited awareness. Lack of awareness is a barrier to app use. Existing literature mainly covers health care and app design, needing more focus on iADL apps for older adults. Objective The study objectives encompass 2 main aspects: first, to evaluate the awareness, use, and factors influencing the use of apps among older adults for iADLs; and second, to create and assess the effectiveness of a gerontechnology empowerment program (GEP) for older adults on the awareness and use of apps for iADLs. Methods This research uses a quantitative approach divided into 2 distinct phases. In phase 1, we conduct a descriptive survey to assess the level of awareness and use of mobile apps for iADLs and identify the factors that influence the use of such apps among older adults. To ensure clarity and comprehension among participants, we provide them with a subject information sheet in both Kannada and English. The data collected during this phase enable us to gain insights into awareness levels, use patterns, and factors that shape older adults’ use of apps for iADLs. The results serve as the foundation for designing the GEP. In phase 2, a cluster randomization method will be used to select older adults aged 60 to 75 years in Udupi district, Karnataka, India, who are active smartphone users. These participants will be divided into 2 groups: the experimental and the control groups. The experimental group will join the GEP. The sample size for phase 1 is 554, and phase 2 is 50. To assess the effectiveness of this program, we will measure the outcomes before and after its implementation using the same assessment tools used in phase 1. Results This study is funded by the Indian Council of Medical Research (Adhoc/193/2022/SBHSR on November 18, 2022). Phase 1 data collection is expected to be completed by November 2023, and phase 2 is scheduled to commence in the upcoming months. Phase 1 and 2 findings will be analyzed and discussed in the main paper, which we intend to submit to a high-quality peer-reviewed journal for publication. The research protocol, informed consent forms, and associated documentation received approval from institutional ethics committees (214/2020). Conclusions Upon the successful testing of the GEP, it can be recommended that welfare departments encourage older adults to use mobile apps for iADLs and establish training programs to provide support to older adults in using these apps.
