本研究的目的是确定和描述获得性脑损伤（ABI）患者使用日常技术的困难特征，以及这些困难如何影响他们的生活的经历。对13名ABI患者进行了访谈，了解他们在使用日常技术方面的困难，并观察了他们使用技术的情况。数据用恒定比较法进行定性分析。结果表明，这些人的经历形成了两类：“日常技术使用中的各种困难组合”和“生活中的限制”。所确定的困难不仅与日常技术本身有关，而且与技术、任务、人和环境之间的相互作用有关。这些困难影响了他们在职业表现、个人认同和社会参与方面受到限制的经历。研究结果强调，为ABI患者设计干预措施的职业治疗师需要适应技术和其他相互作用的方面，以克服使用日常技术的困难。
The aim of this study was to identify and describe the characteristics of the difficulties using everyday technology in persons with an aquired brain injury (ABI), and their experiences of how these difficulties influenced their life. Thirteen persons with an ABI were interviewed about their difficulties in using everyday technology and were observed in their use of technology. Data were analysed qualitatively with a constant comparative method. The results showed that the persons' experiences formed two categories: "A variety of combinations of difficulties in the use of everyday technology" and "Restrictions in life". The difficulties identified were related not only to everyday technology itself but also to the interaction between the technology, the task, the person, and the environment. These difficulties influenced their experiences of restrictions in occupational performance, personal identification, and participation in society. The results emphasize that occupational therapists who design interventions for people with an ABI need to accommodate both the technology and other interacting aspects in order to overcome difficulties in using everyday technology.
