Chapter 6 124 Additionally, approximately half the participants suggested a need for additional depth and detail in the provided information. As one participant expressed: “The dietitian gave a very brief explanation of what she does. […] But she didn’t really delve into the topic. For example, what can you tell about your sugar or salt levels being too high? What are the consequences of that? Could you get paralysis? Could you have a heart attack? So, the information was lacking, in my opinion.” [Male, 63] Table 6.3. Overview of acceptance scores, displayed as medians, IQRs and percentages of participants in the categories positive, neutral, and negative on usability, satisfaction, and usefulness. Question Median (IQR) Min – Max Positive (4-5) n (%) Neutral (3) n (%) Negative (1-2) n (%) Overall 3.8 (0.8) 2.7 – 5.0 15 (71) 6 (29) 0 (0) Usability 4.0 (1.0) 2.7 – 5.0 18 (86) 3 (14) 0 (0) Is easy to use 4 (1) 3 – 5 18 (86) 3 (14) 0 (0) Required no effort 4 (1) 2 – 5 19 (90) 1 (5) 1 (5) Allowed to perform well 4 (2) 2 – 5 15 (71) 5 (24) 1 (5) Satisfaction 4.0 (0.7) 2.3 – 5.0 14 (67) 6 (28) 1 (5) Is fun to use 4 (1) 3 – 5 14 (67) 7 (33) 0 (0) Would recommend to others 4 (1) 2 – 5 18 (85) 2 (10) 1 (5) Aligns with needs 4 (1) 1 – 5 14 (67) 3 (14) 4 (19) Usefulness 3.3 (1.0) 2.3 – 5.0 9 (43) 10 (47) 2 (10) Is useful 4 (1) 3 – 5 13 (62) 8 (38) 0 (0) Aligns with needs 3 (1) 2 – 5 7 (33) 11 (52) 3 (15) Aligns with expectations 4 (1) 2 – 5 11 (52) 6 (29) 4 (19) 6.3.4 Effects on certainty and guidance We found no significant changes in CGQ scores between T1 and T2 in both the intervention (Δ = - 0.14 (IQR 0.57), p = 0.94) and control group (Δ = -0.07 (IQR 0.32), p = 0.51). In addition, we did not find a significant difference in the changes in CGQ scores between the two groups (p = 0.51). The qualitative data highlighted areas that did address improvements in feelings of certainty and guidance during the waiting period. Participants suggested that the intervention improved their expectancy about the CR, as one participant mentioned: “You know, when all those people introduced themselves and told stories about different participants. Yeah, that was nice because you know beforehand what to expect when you start the rehabilitation. So, that was quite pleasant.” [Male, 73]
