Renal transplant patient acceptance of a self-management support system

Background: Self-management support systems (SMSS) have been proposed for renal transplant patients to increase their autonomy and reduce the number of hospital visits. For the design and implementation of such systems, it is important to understand factors influencing patients’ acceptance of a SMSS. This paper aims to identify these key factors...

E-learning Sudan: Final report Phase II

After a successful first pilot with a mathematics game developed to support autonomous learning in remote areas in Sudan, a second, more substantial pilot was carried out. The aim of this second pilot was to confirm the learning outcomes of Pilot I, in a larger pilot: more children and a longer period of time. At the same time, this pilot...

Integrating Robot Support Functions into Varied Activities at Returning Hospital Visits: Supporting Child’s Self-Management of Diabetes

Persistent progress in the self-management of their disease is important and challenging for children with diabetes. The European ALIZ-e project developed and tested a set of core functions for a social robot that may help to establish such progress. These functions were studied in different set-ups and with different groups of children (e.g....

This report presents the first user needs analyses, designs and evaluations of workpackage 1 (WP1) of the PAL project. The first general objective of WP1 is to identify the user needs, human factors knowledge and technological opportunities for the project and to take care that these needs, knowledge and opportunities are well-addressed...

Helping behavior in a virtual crisis situation: Effects of safety awareness and crisis communication

Incident evaluations show that bystanders tend to help: they do not wait for professionals to arrive, but act as required by the situation at hand. In the present study, we investigated how safety awareness (induced before an accident happened) and providing a course of action by emergency services affect helping behavior after witnessing a...

The game-based learning evaluation model (GEM): Measuring the effectiveness of serious games using a standardised method

This article describes the background, design, and practical application of the game-based evaluation model (GEM). The aim of this evaluation model is to measure the effectiveness of serious games in a practical way. GEM contains the methodology and indicators to be measured in validation research. Measuring generic learning and design...

Activiteit-gerelateerd werken: De modererende rol van management support op de relatie tussen drijfveren, attitudes en activiteit-gerelateerd werken

Dit artikel richt zich op de vraag of er een relatie is tussen individuele drijfveren en attitudes van medewerkers en de mate waarin zij gebruik maken van activiteit-gerelateerde werkplekken. Bij activiteit-gerelateerd werken hebben werknemers niet langer een vaste werkplek, maar zoeken zij een werkplek die aansluit bij de activiteit die zij...
