Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Modified Computer Self-Efficacy ScaleDay 1

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 2Day 1

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)

eCourse SatisfactionDay 1

We will ask people to rate their satisfaction with the eCourse \[1 (not satisfied) to 10 (very satisfied)\]. The higher the score the better.

Caregivers' eCourse semi-structured interviewsDay 1

We will conduct semi-structured interviews with caregivers to further explore perceptions and experience with eCourse and caregiving after hip fracture.

eCourse UsefulnessDay 1

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.

eCourse AcceptibilityDay 1

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 FeasibilityDay 1

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.

Feedback on eCourse for participants who enrol via the PI's website: PEMATDay 1

Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) to evaluate the understandability and actionability of the material in our eCourse.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Caregiver Strain IndexDay 1

Ten questions on factors affected by caregiving with a yes or no response.

EQ5D-5L (health-related quality of life)Day 1

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)Day 1

Five domains of questions with four responses each. Calculate an index of 0 (lowest) - 1 (highest).
