Abstract

Background: The rise of digital health needs training future occupational therapists to use these tools. We developed an online course on the ActiveHip+ intervention (Clinical Trial NCT04859309) to enhance students' knowledge of managing hip fractures in older adults. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the feasibility of the online educational tool about the ActiveHip+ mHealth intervention. Material and Methods: A feasibility study was conducted including Occupational Therapy undergraduate students who completed the online ActiveHip+ training course. The feasibility was assessed through adoption, adherence, and acceptability (measured using the UTAUT2 questionnaire), and learning was assessed using a questionnaire administered before and after the course. Results: The online ActiveHip+ training course obtained satisfactory feasibility results. We observed 83% adoption, 98% adherence and the acceptance with a mean score (standard deviation) of 120.39/147 (13.35). The intervention significantly improved knowledge, increasing the mean score by 8.15 points (SD = 3.4) after the course (p < 0.001). Conclusion: The online ActiveHip+ course is feasible for occupational therapy students and shows promise for learning. However, implementation in educational settings should be confirmed through randomised clinical trials. Significance: Integrating this type of training with in-person teaching can increase participation and improve the teaching-learning process in the university setting.
