Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcome measure of the one group pretest-posttest study are user friendliness and usefulness of the ROSETTA system. For the assessment of user friendliness and usefulness of the system a semi-structured questionnaire (for persons with dementia and carers) will be developed, based on experiences with such a questionnaire in the COGKNOW project. This questionnaire will be shortened and further adapted based on the functionalities that will be available on the final prototype. The primary outcome measure of the RCT concerns the impact of the system on the autonomy, quality of life of the elderly people with chronic disabilities and the burden, feelings of competence and quality of life of their informal carers. The experienced autonomy will be assessed with a questionnaire developed by Meiland and Dröes (2006), based on the Mastery scale of Pearlin and Schooler (1978) and an adaptation of selected questions from the WHOQOL-100 (WHO, 1998). To assess the quality of life of persons with dementia, the QoL-AD (Logsdon et al., 1999, 2002) will be administered. This instrument consists of 13 questions (e.g. on physical health, mood, memory, family, friends, life as a whole) and it can be used by people with dementia with MMSE scores as low as three. To assess the burden and feelings of competence of informal carers, two questions on experienced burden will be administered and the Short Sense of Competence Questionnaire (SSCQ; Vernooij-Dassen et. al. 1999) will be used. The quality of life of informal carers will be assessed with two items on the overall judgement of their quality of life (from the MDS-NPO).	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Delay of nursing home admission of the elderly persons with a chronic disease is the secondary outcome measure. Nursing home admission of participants will be recorded. The user-friendliness, usefulness and impact of the system on the domains of daily life that are mentioned before, will also be evaluated by qualitative open face-to-face interviews with persons with dementia and their carers, and diaries of the participants (with positive and negative experiences in using the system) will be studied. Various patient, carer and context characteristics will be inventoried among informal caregivers. Among these are demographic characteristics, insight in the illness, style of caregiving, care needs and use of services.	—
