Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary target variable is a change in the intention to use (TUI scale ITU) of the nursing staff compared to the DAT. In order to investigate possible causes for the measured change, seven additional TUI scales are used; Curiosity (NEW), technology related anxiety (ANG), interest (INT), usability (BEN), usefulness (NUT), skepticism (SKE), accessibility (ZUG). In order to record the change in the course of the intervention, three measurement times are planned (T0, T1, T2). The planned evaluation is described in the analysis plan. Furthermore, structured feedback is used to ask for indications of potential for improvement in the new intervention option, and thus additional aspects are addressed by the participating nursing staff that are not represented by the quantitative instrument (TUI). For this purpose, guided interviews are carried out by an interviewer at the end of the 3month assessment period. The aim of the interviews is for the nursing staff to describe their own perception of the nursing intervention with the Dfree as freely as possible.	—
