目的：本研究的目的是从项目参与者的角度来研究消费者主导的设备和装置项目[加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省的设备和辅助技术倡议（EATI）]的影响。合作评估获得正确的辅助技术（AT），以满足个人的需求的重要性进行了讨论，根据该计划的参与者为中心的“参与模式”，或哲学的程序结构。方法：对参与者进行了横断面调查，并对持有各种残疾的参与者（>= 18岁）进行了半结构化访谈。该调查要求参与者对他们的AT进行排名，并确定他们获得技术的方法[通过自我，由健康专业人员或合作（自我和专业）]。访谈涉及参与者对获得和使用AT的意见。结果：共有357人回答了调查（17%的回复率），16人参加了访谈。最高等级的AT被分配给通过协作方法评估的器械（自我= 31%，从业者= 26%，协作= 43%; x（2）（16，180）= 39.604，p < 0.001）。结论：在辅助技术评估过程中，卫生专业人员和残疾人之间的共同决策导致参与者认为是正确的AT。
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of a consumer-led equipment and device program [Equipment and Assistive Technology Initiative (EATI) in British Columbia, Canada] from the perspective of program participants. The importance of collaborative assessments for obtaining the right assistive technology (AT) for meeting an individual's needs is discussed in light of the program's participant-centered "Participation Model'', or philosophy by which the program is structured. Method: A cross-sectional survey with participants and semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants (>= 18 years) who held a range of disabilities. The survey asked participants to rank their AT and to identify the method by which they obtained the technology [by self, prescribed by a health professional or collaborative (self and professional)]. Interviews addressed participants' opinions about obtaining and using AT. Results: In total, 357 people responded to the survey (17% response rate) and 16 people participated in the interviews. The highest ranking AT was assigned to devices assessed via a collaborative method (self = 31%, practitioner = 26%, collaborative = 43%; x(2) (16, 180) = 39.604, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Shared decision-making between health professionals and people with disabilities within the assessment process for assistive technology leads to what participants perceive as the right AT.
