Co-designing digital frailty education with health consumers and caregivers
Frailty is a risk state characterised by an accumulation of physical, cognitive, social and functional deficits. Interventions targeting exercise, nutrition, social connection and medication optimisation can prevent, reduce or even reverse frailty. Evidence suggests that healthcare consumers generally have a poor understanding of frailty and limited access to frailty resources.
This program of work aims to co-design digital frailty education and resources for consumers and caregivers to improve their knowledge and understanding of frailty, and equip people with skills to prevent and manage frailty.
This PhD project may involve:
- Conducting a needs analysis to inform the content of the education intervention;
- Facilitating the co-design of the digital modules and resources with consumers and caregivers;
- Conducting usability testing of the intervention; and
- Co-designing a dissemination plan to support knowledge translation.
This PhD will directly contribute to the health knowledge and behaviours of healthcare consumers and caregivers and the implementation of the digital education intervention at a national level.
The PhD candidate will have the opportunity to develop skills in quantitative and qualitative research methods, co-design, project management, behaviour change science, digital health, and health promotion.
