Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Objectives Multidimensional assessment tools have the advantage of enabling several issues to be addressed systematically. In this research, the investigators want to assess the validity of a multidimensional assessment tool in digital format in a population of elderly people and carers. To do this, the investigators intend to use scales that already exist and are usually used in paper format: the ADL and IADL for dependency, the Mini MNA for nutrition, the Cornell and GDS-15 for depression, the mini Zarit for estimating the burden on carers and the Cetaf score and short FES-I for the risk of falling. These assessment tools have been adapted to digital format and brought together to form a comprehensive multidimensional assessment tool.
The investigators' first objective was to assess the validity of this set of scales in digital format compared with their original paper versions, but the investigators also want to measure the acceptability of this assessment tool in a geriatric population and among family carers. In addition, the investigators plan to assess the adaptability of this tool and its compatibility in a geriatric consultation setting. Finally, the investigators want to measure doctors' satisfaction with the collection of this information, as a time-saving tool for these professionals.
Methods Eighty patients and eighty carers will be included in this study, recruited from the geriatric consultation service (outpatient geriatrics department) at Charles Foix Hospital. These will be people aged over 65, and family carers if it is not possible to carry out the test on a self-administered basis.
To do this, the investigators are planning a quantitative study to compare the scores obtained by the digital version of the test with the data described by the doctors in the reports, and in particular the same scales systematically filled in by the medical profession. In addition, the investigators want to analyse what users say and assess their experience of practical issues (grip, legibility, impression of confidentiality when filling in the form in the waiting room, etc.).
Outlook A multi-theme self-questionnaire assessment of elderly people and their carers waiting for a consultation would save professionals time (in terms of completion time and calculation of results), make data more secure, save paper and provide a complete and systematic scan of a number of potentially serious risks.
