Objective:
To develop a website aimed at rehabilitation nurses, focused on accessibility and nursing care for individuals with acquired physical disabilities, and to assess its usability, experience and perception of use.
Method:
A methodological study of technological development based on the DADI methodology (Definition, Architecture, Design, and Implementation), tested by 11 rehabilitation nurses selected by convenience sampling, in 2023. Data were collected through an online questionnaire evaluating usability, experience and perception of use, complemented by an open-ended question for suggestions. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis of the open-ended responses.
Results:
The website "Nursing. People. Disability - Community" achieved an average score of 88.64 ± 8.49 on the System Usability Scale, indicating excellent usability. All participants found the information they were looking for, considered the valuable content for care practice, and recognized the clarity of the layout. Overall impressions exceeded the expectations of 81.8% of the participants. Suggestions included addressing topics such as home accessibility, acquisition of assistive products, and expanding the content on rehabilitation.
Conclusion:
The website demonstrates high usability and meets the information needs of rehabilitation nurses regarding accessibility and care for individuals with acquired physical disabilities.
