ABSTRACT

Objective : The purpose of this study was to develop an assessment tool that can collectively and objectivelyevaluate the application of an assistive technology appropriate for domestic circumstances. Methods : Through reviews of previous research and preliminary expert research, the primary extraction of theevaluation factors for assistive technology satisfaction, expert research, and content validity evaluation factors forassistive technology satisfaction appropriate for domestic circumstances were identified. and evaluation factorsextracted for an analysis of the validity and reliability of the exploratory factor analysis and internal consistencyreliability were confirmed. Results : A review of previous research and preliminary expert research, expert research, content validity throughinvestigation, and finally, ‘Assistive Technology Device’, ‘Assistive Technology Service’, ‘Activities of DailyLiving’ ratings of three assessment items and 17 evaluation factors were determined by extracting the elements. Second, based on the 3 factors and 16 evaluation factors extracted through the exploratory factor analysis, thecoefficient of internal consistency, Cronbach’s α, was determined to be .908. Furthermore, after the items weredeleted, Cronbach’s α was .777~.871. Conclusion : Thus, the 3 assessment items that comprised the finalized assistive technology satisfaction assessmenttool, and the 16 evaluation factors, were completely developed. further study requires convergent validity,concurrent validity and test-retest reliability. In addition, in the field of assistive technology and occupationaltherapy, assistive technology results are expected based on the information available.
