Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

eCourse Acceptability
Participants will be asked to rate (using a Likert scale 1 to 10) perceptions of acceptability of the (1) delivery mode and (2) program. All three questions are rate from 1 (lowest) - 10 (highest). A higher score is better.
eCourse Feasibility
Participants will be asked to rate (using a Likert scale 1 to 10) perceptions of feasibility of the (1) delivery mode and (2) program. All three questions are rate from 1 (lowest) - 10 (highest). A higher score is better.
eCourse Satisfaction
We will ask people to rate their satisfaction with the eCourse [1 (not satisfied) to 10 (very satisfied)]. The higher the score the better.
eCourse Usefulness
We will ask people to rate their perception of the usefulness for the eCourse [1 (not useful) to 10 (very useful)]. The higher the score the better.
Modified Computer Self-Efficacy Scale
Questionnaires will assess participants' perceptions of self-efficacy (Modified Computer Self-Efficacy Scale) for using a computer and the online program. Scale of 1-10, 1 (not at all confident) - 10 (completely confident). The higher the score the better.
Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2
Questionnaires will assess participants' perceptions on technology usability (Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2). Participants will rate on a scale of 1-5, how much they disagree/agree with statements. 1 (strongly disagree) - 5 (strongly agree)
Caregivers' eCourse semi-structured interviews
We will conduct semi-structured interviews with caregivers to further explore perceptions and experience with eCourse and caregiving after hip fracture.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Caregiver Strain Index
Ten questions on factors affected by caregiving with a yes or no response.
EQ5D-5L (health-related quality of life)
Five domains of questions with five responses each. Calculate an index of 0 (lowest) - 1 (highest). There is also a Visual Analogue Scale [1 (worse health) - 100 (best health)]
ICECAP-O (general quality of life)
Five domains of questions with four responses each. Calculate an index of 0 (lowest) - 1 (highest).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This project will test feasibility to deliver an online education and skill development program for family/caregivers of older adults recovering from a surgically repaired low-trauma hip fracture. We will also recruit health providers to review and provide feedback on the eCourse before we test its feasibility and acceptability with caregivers.
Detailed Description
This is a cross-sectional mixed methods study to obtain feedback from health providers and family caregivers on eCourse for the post-hip fracture period.
