An assistive-technology intervention for verbose speech after traumatic brain injury: a single case study.

OBJECTIVE: To assess an assistive-technology intervention for neurobehavioral change, coordinated with a Web-based data recording system. PARTICIPANT: Male, mid-thirties, with a complex history, having verbose speech subsequent to traumatic brain injury. DESIGN: BAB' single-case. INTERVENTION AND MEASURES: The intervention (B and B' trials) was a digital recording of the participant's voice, stating "be brief," delivered at fixed intervals by a personal digital assistant. Utterance start and stop times were monitored with a wireless, Web-enabled device and were recorded in a server-side database. RESULTS: Utterance frequency did not change. However, the total utterance time was reduced during B trials, attributable to the reduced frequency of lengthier utterances. CONCLUSIONS: The target behavior was modified successfully. The participant adopted a specific cue-appropriate strategy. Since a variety of alternative response strategies may be required of a person, given a range of context-specific social practices and community settings, the importance of context-sensitive assistive technology cue repertoires is discussed.

Clinical application of the Omaha system with the Nightingale Tracker: a community health nursing student home visit program.

The application of computer use in the clinical and educational arena needs to be emphasized for both the improved management of patient data and nursing knowledge. Faculty commitment to automation of home visit documentation records was essential to sustain the trial of implementing the Nightingale Trackers in the clinical area. The Nightingale Tracker is a software program that automates the Omaha system, a community-friendly nursing language that encourages a focus on health promotion. A team approach involving students, faculty, and technical support enabled the automation of the patient record of a home visiting program in a community health nursing course.
