Technology acceptance of the video game-based swallowing function training system among healthcare providers and dysphagia patients: A qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Dysphagia is highly prevalent worldwide, causing serious complications. Video-game based rehabilitation training can increase dysphagia patient motivation and adherence. However, the acceptance of video game systems by patients and healthcare providers is still not fully explored. This study aimed to explore the acceptance of the video game swallowing training system among potential users.

Methods

The in-depth interviews were conducted face-to-face between July and October 2023 at a rehabilitation center in China, with a sample size based on the principle of information saturation. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim, and the data were analyzed using theory-driven thematic analysis methods based on the technology acceptance model.
