目的：本研究的目的是评估青少年特发性arthritis.Methods的可用性的e-Ouch电子慢性疼痛日记在青少年中的半结构化，录音访谈两个迭代周期的定性可用性测试方法。从一所大学附属的儿科三级保健中心的风湿病诊所抽取每周期10名青少年的有目的样本。参与者被提供了一个简短的日记演示，然后要求使用日记“大声思考”来记录他们经历的疼痛：（1）当天早上醒来时，（2）当天下午，（3）前一天晚上。然后，青少年被问到一系列开放式问题，这些问题涉及日记的易用性。定性主题分析被用来产生类别和新兴的主题从采访data.Results：所有的青少年表示电子痛日记是非常容易学习，使用和理解，是令人满意的完成。参与者花了不到9分钟的时间完成了所有三项日记条目，错误最少。可用性评价揭示了界面的次优方面（例如，VAS滑块），并阻碍了某些任务的执行。青少年就如何改进日记界面提出了想法。
Objectives: The aim of this Study was to evaluate the usability of the e-Ouch electronic chronic pain diary in adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.Methods: A qualitative usability testing approach with semi-structured, audiotaped interviews with two iterative cycles was used. A purposive sample of 10 adolescents per cycle was drawn from a rheumatology clinic in a university-affiliated pediatric tertiary care center. Participants were provided with a brief demonstration of the diary and then asked to use the diary "thinking aloud" to record the pain they experienced: (1) when they woke up that morning, (2) during that afternoon, and (3) from the previous evening. Adolescents were then asked a series of open-ended questions addressing ease Of use of the diary. Qualitative thematic analysis Was used to generate categories and emerging themes from interview data.Results: All of the adolescents stated the e-Ouch diary was very easy to learn, use, and understand and was satisfying to complete. Participants took less than 9 minutes to complete all three of the diary entries with minimal errors. The usability evaluation revealed aspects of the interface that were suboptimal (eg, VAS slider) and impeded the performance of certain tasks. Adolescents generated ideas on how the diary interface could be improved.
