Abstract
BackgroundThe 3-Minute Diagnostic Interview for Confusion Assessment Method–Defined Delirium (3D-CAM) is an instrument specially developed for the assessment of delirium in general wards, with high reported sensitivity and specificity. However, the use of the 3D-CAM by bedside nurses in routine practice showed relatively poor usability, with multiple human errors during assessment.
ObjectiveThis study aimed to develop a mobile app–based delirium assessment tool based on the 3D-CAM and evaluate its usability among older patients by bedside nurses.
MethodsThe Delirium Assessment Tool With Decision Support Based on the 3D-CAM (3D-DST) was developed to address existing issues of the 3D-CAM and optimize the assessment process. Following a randomized crossover design, questionnaires were used to evaluate the usability of the 3D-DST among older adults by bedside nurses. Meanwhile, the performances of both the 3D-DST and the 3D-CAM paper version, including the assessment completion rate, time required for completing the assessment, and the number of human errors made by nurses during assessment, were recorded, and their differences were compared.
ResultsThe 3D-DST included 3 assessment modules, 9 evaluation interfaces, and 16 results interfaces, with built-in reminders to guide nurses in completing the delirium assessment. In the usability testing, a total of 432 delirium assessments (216 pairs) on 148 older adults were performed by 72 bedside nurses with the 3D-CAM paper version and the 3D-DST. Compared to the 3D-CAM paper version, the mean usability score was significantly higher when using the 3D-DST (4.35 vs 3.40; PPP
ConclusionsThis study demonstrated that the 3D-DST significantly improved the efficiency of delirium assessment and was considered highly acceptable by bedside nurses. |
