Table 7 Management feasibility outcomes
Feasibility category | Outcome | Criteria for success | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Management | Nature of data entry problems/changes | Ability to identify and mitigate common data entry errors (e.g., data missing at random, data syncing issues, problems with database) in larger trial | • Data was collected using a Microsoft Access database on the research computer. In 15 instances, the database did not launch property on the computer for the data collection visit. The researcher completed the surveys on paper with the participant and then entered the data once they returned to the office • The Manty questionnaire was not entered in its entirety in the Access database; only the 3 main questions were entered • During the final data synchronization from the Access database to Excel to complete the analysis, 16 entries were missing. The researcher used paper records to fill in the missing data fields • A measure of strength (hand grip) and 2 questionnaires (one assessing healthcare utilization, and a second assessing sleep derived from the 15 D quality-of-life questionnaire) were added midway through the study to pilot, so not all study participants had these outcomes measured at their baseline and 6-month data collection appointments • The Stanford self-efficacy questionnaire [61] was stopped after the first few baseline data collection appointment due to difficulties in administration and feedback from the participants and researcher. Results were not included in analysis or reported |
