简要总结
The objective of this study is to determine the effectiveness of remote manual wheelchair skills training program. First, peer coaches will be enrolled and trained. Then, trainees will be enrolled into one of three interventions: intervention with remote feedback (Group 1), and a wait list control group (Group 2).
详细描述
For peer coaches:
Coaches will complete the following measures:
- Demographic questionnaire (pre-training)
- Self-Efficacy on Assessing, Training, and Spotting (SEATS) (pre- and post-training)
- Feedback survey (post peer coaching)
Prior to coaching trainees, coaches will undergo three training programs as follows:
- Virtual training through zoom on peer mentoring
- Research ethics training
- Wheelchair skills training

结局指标
主要结局
Capacity, confidence, and performance of wheelchair skills will improve following training
时间窗: 6 months
Compare the results of the Wheelchair Skills Test Questionnaire (WST-Q) between groups. The WST-Q is a self report measure of capacity (ability to complete), confidence, and performance (frequency of completing) wheelchair skills. The WST-Q will measured for each of 16 skills targeted in the training and a total score for each domain will be calculated.
次要结局
- Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) improvement from baseline (post training)(Post-training (2 mo assessment for groups 1 and 3; 8 mo assessment for group 2))
- Wheelchair Skills Test Questionnaire (WST-Q) improvement from baseline (6 months)(6 months post training (6 mo assessment for groups 1 and 3; 12 mo assessment for group 2))
- Wheelchair Skills Test Questionnaire (WST-Q) improvement from baseline (12 months)(1 year)
- Wheelchair Outcome Measure (WhOM) Satisfaction with Participation in Meaningful Activities after baseline (6 months)(6 months)
- Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique Short Form (CHART-SF) Mobility improvement (6 months)(6 months)
- Life Space Assessment (LSA) improvement from baseline (6 months)(6 months)
- Craig Handicap Assessment and Reporting Technique Short Form (CHART-SF) Mobility improvement (1 year)(1 year)
- Wheelchair Outcome Measure (WhOM) Satisfaction with Participation in Meaningful Activities after baseline (1 year)(1 year)
- Life Space Assessment (LSA) improvement from baseline (1 year)(1 year)
- Wheelchair Skills Test Questionnaire (WST-Q) improvement from baseline following training(Post-training (2 mo assessment for groups 1 and 3; 8 mo assessment for group 2))
