| Popis: | Success of e-health relies on the extent to which the related technology, such as the electronic device, is accepted by its users. However, there has been limited research on the patients' perspective on use of e-health-related technology in rehabilitation care.To explore the usage of common electronic devices among rehabilitation patients with access to email and investigate their preferences regarding their usage in rehabilitation.Adult patients who were admitted for inpatient and/or outpatient rehabilitation and were registered with an email address were invited to complete an electronic questionnaire regarding current and preferred use of information and communication technologies in rehabilitation care.190 out of 714 invited patients completed the questionnaire, 94 (49%) female, mean age 49 years (SD 16). 149 patients (78%) used one or more devices every day, with the most frequently used devices were: PC/laptop (93%), smartphone (57%) and tablet (47%). Patients mostly preferred to use technology for contact with health professionals (mean 3.15, SD 0.79), followed by access to their personal record (mean 3.09, SD 0.78) and scheduling appointments with health professionals (mean 3.07, SD 0.85).Most patients in rehabilitation used one or more devices almost every day and wish to use these devices in rehabilitation. Implications for Rehabilitation In a sample of 190 patients in rehabilitation with access to email, almost all patients used one or more electronic devices almost every day of the week, with the most frequently used devices were: a PC/laptop, smartphone and tablet. Most of the patients wish to incorporate electronic devices in their rehabilitation process and prefer to use those devices to have insight in their health record, communication with peers and scheduling appointments with health professionals. To better assist patients with e-health in rehabilitation care in the future, preferences could be implemented in rehabilitation care by using the most commonly used devices. |
