Translation and validation of the assistive technology device predisposition assessment in Greek in order to assess satisfaction with use of the selected assistive device

Abstract

This is the first study, at least to the knowledge of the authors, which focuses merely on measuring the satisfaction of the users from the used assistive device, while exploring the Assistive Technology Device Predisposition Assessment - Device Form in such depth. According to the results, it is a stable, valid and reliable instrument and applicable to the Greek population. Thus, it can be used to measure the satisfaction of patients with assistive devices. Implications for Rehabilitation The paper explores the cultural adaptability and applicability of ATD PA - Device Form. ATD PA - Device Form can be used to assess user satisfaction by the selected assistive device. ATD PA - Device Form is a valid and reliable instrument in measuring users' satisfaction in Greekreality.

A Systematic Review on Existing Measures for the Subjective Assessment of Rehabilitation and Assistive Robot Devices

“…We should therefore look into the literature for other valid and reliable scales that are used in different sectors and may be applicable to the examined domain. Other valuated and relevantly common used questionnaires we found in the bibliography were the Assistive Technology Device Predisposition Assessment- (ATDPA-) Device Form [ 57 , 58 ] and the Psychosocial Impact of Assistive Devices Scale (PIADS) [ 59 ]. The ATDPA-Device Form is more relevant in context than the PIADS, targeting the evaluation of overall user experience with assistive technology, while PIADS only emphasizes the psychosocial impact of assistive devices, without targeting the evaluation of the actual experience of interacting with a robot device, but rather the impact that this interaction has on quality of life (QoL).…”

Assessing people with visual impairments’ access to information, awareness and satisfaction with high-tech assistive technology

“…The Assistive Technology Device Predisposition Assessment for device users (ATDPA) (Scherer, 2005) assessed satisfaction with positive impact made to different aspects of participants’ lives. This scale also has an excellent test–retest reliability and a relatively high internal consistency (Koumpouros et al, 2017). Both questionnaires used a 5-point Likert-type scale where ‘1’ = extremely satisfied and ‘5’ = extremely dissatisfied .…”

Strukturierte Hilfsmittel-versorgung – MPT-Modell

“…Die Studien empfehlen, das MPT-Modell bzw. das ATD PA anzuwenden, um eine Nichtnutzung des Hilfsmittels zu vermeiden 1 , 3 , 5 – 7 , 9 . Insgesamt zeigt sich, dass der Bedarf nach einem Assessment zur Hilfsmittelversorgung vorhanden ist.…”
