Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
In this study, data on the following topics are first collected with the help of a questionnaire: socio-demographic information, physical activity offers, technology acceptance, digital physical activity and fall prevention. In the area of technology acceptance, two validated, licence-free questionnaires will be used, the questionnaire for the assessment of technology affinity as handling and attitude towards electronic devices (TA-EG) and the questionnaire for interaction-related technology affinity (ATI). The aim is to get a general overview of the status quo of nurses' attitudes towards these topics.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Based on the results of the questionnaire, a guideline for the interviews will be developed, which will enable a more in-depth study of the topic. In doing so, previous experiences, usage intentions, barriers, perceived risks, prerequisites, conditions, expectations and wishes will be dealt with more intensively. Based on the results of the questionnaire and interview study, the BeSt-Age app is to be developed, which through this approach pursues the goal of being to be particularly effective and user-friendly. For this purpose, focus groups of people involved in the care setting will be formed within the framework of the app development, which will discuss the practical implementation and technical necessities of the BeSt-Age app using the first wireframes of the app. These results will also flow into the development of the BeSt-Age app.	—
