Abstract (Spanish)
El propósito de este estudio fue examinar la aceptación del Sistema de Posicionamiento Global (GPS) utilizado para ayudar a las personas con demencia que corren el riesgo de deambular por sus comunidades. Utilizamos un enfoque de investigación de métodos mixtos que incluía registros de uso, cuestionarios en papel previos y posteriores y grupos focales. Se incluyeron cuarenta y cinco pares de cliente-cuidador (díadas) para utilizar uno de los dispositivos GPS durante un promedio de 5,8 meses durante un período de 1 año. La aceptación del GPS fue alta; era probable que las díadas siguieran utilizando el GPS. Según los participantes, el GPS brindó tranquilidad a los cuidadores y redujo la ansiedad en las díadas cuando los clientes se perdían.
Abstract (English)
The purpose of this study was to examine the acceptance of Global Positioning System (GPS) used to help people with dementia, who are at risk for wandering in their communities. We used a mixed methods research approach that included use logs, pre and post paper-based questionnaires, and focus groups. Forty-five client-caregiver pairs (dyads) were included to use one of the GPS devices for an average of 5.8 months over a 1-year period. GPS acceptance was high; dyads were likely to continue using the GPS. According to the participants, the GPS provided caregivers peace of mind and reduced anxiety in dyads when clients got lost.
