“…Our findings of a good to excellent test-retest reliability of the S-ETUQ are comparable to the results of a study with the original longer version of the ETUQ used in a Danish sample of people with COPD [4]. However, in that study, the test-retest reliability was evaluated on an item level and the participants also perceived overall higher ability in the use of ET than in the participants in the current study.…”

“…However, in that study, the test-retest reliability was evaluated on an item level and the participants also perceived overall higher ability in the use of ET than in the participants in the current study. Hence, larger variation in ability and a more heterogeneous sample were recommended in order to obtain more detailed information on the reliability of ETUQ [4]. Based on the raw score responses, almost 40% of the participants perceived some difficulties in their ability to use ET in the current study which may have increased the variation in the sample with regard to the person ability measures…”

“…To meet this need, the Everyday Technology Use Questionnaire, ETUQ [1], was developed to evaluate the relevance of ETs and peoples' perceived ability in ET use. The ETUQ has been shown to measure a unidimensional construct and has demonstrated good psychometric qualities in several populations: older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), mild dementia or without cognitive impairment [2,3] and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD [4], adults with acquired brain injury [5] and adults with mental retardation [6]. The ETUQ has been translated into several languages (e.g.…”

“…The ETUQ has been translated into several languages (e.g. English, Japanese, Danish, Portuguese) and these versions have also been shown to demonstrate good psychometric qualities [4,7,8]. Moreover, in a sample with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD [4] the Danish version of the ETUQ has been confirmed to have an excellent interrater and test-retest reliability.…”

“…Hence, a short version of an instrument can be as reliable as a longer one. Yet, even if the full version of the ETUQ has shown to have an excellent test-retest reliability [4], this too needs to be evaluated for the S-ETUQ.…”

Background: Everyday technologies (ET) such as smart phones, and internet banking are increasingly incorporated into daily activities. Therefore, valid assessments are needed to identify ability in ET use and to design and evaluate interventions. Aims: To evaluate and compare the stability over time (test-retest reliability) of measures generated with the short version of the Everyday Technology Use Questionnaire (S-ETUQ) in older adults with cognitive impairment or mild dementia. Materials and Methods: Data was collected with S-ETUQ at two occasions (m ¼ 20.9 days in between) in a sample of (n ¼ 73) older adults with cognitive impairment of different origin (n ¼ 38) or mild dementia (n ¼ 35). Stability of each participant's S-ETUQ measure was examined using standardised difference z-comparisons. The test-retest reliability coefficient of the S-ETUQ measures was determined by Intraclass Correlation Coefficients. Comparisons were performed using Mann-Whitney u-tests. Results: The S-ETUQ measures were statistically stable between the two occasions. Hence, the group of persons with cognitive impairment demonstrated slightly higher stability and fewer differences compared to the group with mild dementia. The ICCs (0.82-0.90) indicated good to excellent agreement. Conclusions: S-ETUQ can be used with older people with cognitive impairments of varying degree to gather reliable and precise information regarding their use of ET.

Background: Increasingly services and interventions involve everyday information communication technologies (EICTs) in provision, however, use of EICTs among people with dementia is little known. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the relevance, use, and ability to use EICTs between a group of older adults with dementia and a comparison group with no known cognitive impairment. Method: Interviews with 35 people with dementia, 34 comparison participants using the standardized Everyday Technology Use Questionnaire. Variables were compared using descriptive statistics, t-tests and correlation analyses. Results: Median 7 EICTs (maximum 31) were relevant to the group with dementia; significantly less than the comparison group's 11 (p< .05, d= 0.64). The difference in use appeared more pronounced (group with dementia 5, comparison group 10.5; p< .001, d= 0.93). Large, significant relationships were evident between ability to use technology, and relevant or used EICTs in the group with dementia. No such relationships in the comparison group. Conclusion: Differences in the amounts of EICTs relevant and used among people with and without dementia are further reflected in the dementia group's ability to use technology. Accommodating the demands that EICTs place on users and harnessing the dominant EICT relevancies and abilities of people with dementia better contributes towards an inclusive, dementia-friendly society.
