背景:捐赠的眼部组织的可用性可以节省并增强移植受者的视力;然而,目前对纸巾的需求超过了现有供应。角膜供体短缺导致等待时间增加,延迟手术,延长视力障碍,增加了需要眼组织移植的患者的不便。以前开发了一个基于网络的应用程序,以方便轻松直观地提交潜在的捐助者信息。
目的:本研究的主要目的是评估卫生保健专业人员对潜在应用的态度,并根据用户反馈和通过应用的捐赠者注册情况评估其有效性。
方法:研究人员使用了混合方法方法,从文献综述开始,以确定与捐助方采购相关的挑战。进行了利益相关者访谈,以评估医疗保健专业人员对应用程序的看法。通过问卷调查收集用户反馈,调查,和访谈来评估应用程序的可用性和影响。分析了对报告的潜在捐助者的评估和问卷答复。
结果:该申请的最终版本成功报道了24位真正的角膜捐献者。在64位使用该应用程序与潜在捐赠者进行交流的医疗保健提供者中,其中32人仅出于测试目的提交了试用条目。其余8名卫生保健专业人员报告了潜在的捐助者;然而,这些人不符合捐献者资格标准.大多数参与者认为该应用程序对用户友好,并表示愿意在将来使用它。为布局分配了正面评级,外观,目的,和应用程序的特定功能。受访者强调了通过SMS文本消息自动发送通知,以及整合捐赠者资格和组织收集的所有必要文档,这是该应用程序最有价值的功能。
结论:研究表明,供体报告应用为提高组织供体的采购提供了有希望的解决方案。此应用程序简化了报告过程,减少文书工作,促进沟通,并收集了有价值的数据进行分析。
BACKGROUND: The availability of donated eye tissue saves and enhances vision in transplant recipients; however, the current demand for tissue surpasses the available supply. Corneal
donor shortages lead to increased wait times, delayed surgeries, prolonged visual impairment, and increased inconvenience to patients requiring eye tissue transplantation. A web-based application was previously developed to facilitate easy and intuitive submission of potential
donor information.
OBJECTIVE: The primary objectives of this study were to assess health care professionals\' attitudes toward the potential application and evaluate its effectiveness based on user feedback and
donor registrations through the application.
METHODS: Researchers used a mixed methods approach, commencing with a literature review to identify challenges associated with
donor procurement. Stakeholder interviews were conducted to gauge health care professionals\' perspectives regarding the application. User feedback was collected through questionnaires, surveys, and interviews to assess the application\'s usability and impact. An assessment of the reported potential donors and questionnaire responses were analyzed.
RESULTS: The final version of the application successfully reported 24 real cornea donors. Among 64 health care providers who used the application to communicate about potential donors, 32 of them submitted trial entries exclusively for testing purposes. The remaining 8 health care professionals reported potential donors; however, these individuals did not meet the donor qualification criteria. The majority of participants found the application user-friendly and expressed their readiness to use it in the future. Positive ratings were assigned to the layout, appearance, purpose, and specific features of the application. Respondents highlighted the automatic sending of notifications via SMS text messages and the integration of all necessary documents for donor qualification and tissue collection as the most valuable functions of the application.
CONCLUSIONS: The study indicates that donor reporting applications offer promising solutions to enhance tissue
donor procurement. This application streamlined the reporting process, reduced paperwork, facilitated communication, and collected valuable data for analysis.
