英文摘要
Current estimates place the American amputee population above two
million. Over 156,000 amputations are performed in the United States
each year. Amputees report the need for information and support
particularly during the first two years. Many find peer support
groups helpful, but this resource is not always available. In most
cases, a family member becomes the caregiver and supporter. Research
shows that limb loss can have a devastating effect on the health of
the family caregiver, yet there is not systematic method to educate
them about their new role. In an effort to aid new amputees and their
caregivers, the researchers propose to develop an interactive
multimedia program that allows both to have virtual conversations
with knowledgeable peers. Users will gain understanding, knowledge,
and support from people who have lost a limb or who provide care for
an amputee. Phase I research will focus on technological feasibility
and user acceptance. In Phase II, a series will be developed to
accommodate race/gender, cultural, socioeconomic, and age differences
among amputees and caregivers. The educational effectiveness of the
method will be evaluated, as will its impact on communication between
amputee and caregiver and on the quality of their life and health.
PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION:
The interactive interviews will be distributed to acute care
hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals and programs, physicians, HMOs,
and insurance case managers throughout the country. It will also be
distributed through the National Limb Loss Information Center
administered by the Amputee Coalition of America in Knoxville, TN.
distribution channels will include advocacy associations and
organizations for amputees and family caregivers. Promotional
activities will include advertising, conferences, direct mailings,
and direct sales.
