An interventional study of Caregivers eCourse in Hip Fractures and Family, sponsored by University of British Columbia. Completed at 1 site in Canada. Open to participants aged 19 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-05-22.
Sponsored by University of British Columbia · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
In this two part study, we will seek 1. general feedback on the feasibility of an online education and skill development program for family/caregivers of older adults recovering from a surgically repaired low-trauma hip fracture. We will also 2. test its feasibility and acceptability with family caregivers.
This is a cross-sectional mixed methods study to obtain feedback from health providers and family caregivers on eCourse for the post-hip fracture period. For participants who access the course via the PI's website, participants will only be asked to provide feedback on the content, layout, and delivery of the eCourse.
822 studies on the registry are indexed under Hip Fractures; 160 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 8 is below the median of 90 across 529 interventional studies indexed under Hip Fractures.

Exclusion Criteria:
Education post-hip fracture delivered via eCourse.
Behavioral: Caregivers eCourse
Investigators will request that family/caregivers/general public watch a self-paced (60-90 minutes) online e-learning training session for recovery after hip fracture.
eCourse Acceptibility
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.
Time frame: Day 1
eCourse Feasibility
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.
Time frame: Day 1
eCourse Satisfaction
We will ask people to rate their satisfaction with the eCourse \[1 (not satisfied) to 10 (very satisfied)\]. The higher the score the better.
Time frame: Day 1
eCourse Usefulness
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.
Time frame: Day 1
Modified Computer Self-Efficacy Scale
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.
Time frame: Day 1
Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2
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)
Time frame: Day 1
Caregivers' eCourse semi-structured interviews
We will conduct semi-structured interviews with caregivers to further explore perceptions and experience with eCourse and caregiving after hip fracture.
Time frame: Day 1
Feedback on eCourse for participants who enrol via the PI's website: PEMAT
Patient Education Materials Assessment Tool (PEMAT) to evaluate the understandability and actionability of the material in our eCourse.
Time frame: Day 1
Caregiver Strain Index
Ten questions on factors affected by caregiving with a yes or no response.
Time frame: Day 1
EQ5D-5L (health-related quality of life)
Five domains of questions with five responses each. Calculate an index of 0 (lowest) - 1 (highest). There is also a Visual Analogue Scale \[1 (worse health) - 100 (best health)\]
Time frame: Day 1
ICECAP-O (general quality of life)
Five domains of questions with four responses each. Calculate an index of 0 (lowest) - 1 (highest).
Time frame: Day 1
