| Abstract | Objectives: The objectives of the present study were to qualitatively investigate nursing home caregivers' acceptance of, and experiences with, a new digital intervention for oral healthcare after a period of real-life testing in three nursing homes located in Rogaland county, Norway. Background: Nursing home caregivers report numerous barriers when it comes to provision of adequate oral care for care-dependent older adults. Among the reported barriers are lack of knowledge and skills, care-resistant behaviours, lack of adequate routines and documentation systems for oral health, a high workload, and unclear responsibilities. To overcome these barriers, a digital tool named SmartJournal was developed to assist caregivers in preserving nursing home residents' oral health. Materials and methods: Semistructured interviews were performed with selected caregivers (n = 12) taking part in SmartJournal testing. A theory-driven thematic analysis based on technology acceptance model was conducted. Results: SmartJournal was generally described as a userfriendly and useful tool. The initial reaction of the participants was mixed; some were positive, some had concerns, but many seemed to have a neutral stance to the intervention. Both barriers and facilitating factors for SmartJournal usage were revealed. Interestingly, the usage gradually changed from norm-based to routine-based behaviour during the test period. Although the tool was well-accepted, as demonstrated with study participants' willingness to use it in the future, they had several suggestions for improvements to further adapt it to a nursing home setting. Conclusion: Results from the present study provide valuable information on questions about SmartJournal acceptance and intervention delivery, thereby preparing the ground for a larger scale evaluation study assessing measurable effects of SmartJournal usage in nursing homes. |
