“…Personas are fictional ‘characters’ created in design research, with the intention to simplify communication and project decision‐making by a design team during the design process. They provide a context for designers of usage of an innovation (Lewrick et al., 2020 : 97–102). In our study, personas were developed to help designers understand how diverse the parents are that SLTs encounter and to gain insight into how SLT–practitioners and parents’ may differ in their needs, experiences, behaviours and goals.…”

“…SLT–practitioners described eight experiences with parents from their SLT practice. These descriptions, together with the interview posters and workshop notes taken by the co‐design researchers, constituted the input for the creation of four personas that were given fictitious names (Lewrick et al., 2020 : 97–102). These four personas are fictitious characters based on observations, interviews and notes that represent the diversity of parents that can be encountered within an SLT practice.…”

“…Design guidelines are used across the co‐design cycle, whenever the team gets into situations where decisions must be made. At these critical points, design guidelines can support the team (Lewrick et al., 2020 : 53–56). Appreciative enquiry was first developed in the field of organizational psychology as a method of generating innovative ideas about a topic of enquiry (Cooperrider & Whitney, 2005 ).…”

“…Rather, it can be seen as a dynamic and iterative process that allows designers to jump back and forth between the four stages in a way that complies with what is needed according to the current state of the design, and what is needed to advance the design most effectively (Dorst & Cross, 2001 ). We used co‐design research activities such as brain writing, dot voting, persona development, mind mapping, sorting tasks and more (e.g., Digital Society School, n.d.; Lewrick et al., 2020 ; Van ‘t Veer et al., 2020 ). The output of the activities was used as input for new activities or stages.…”

“…Although decision support aids have been available since the early 1980s, evidence suggest that their implementation into routine practice has been limited (Gravel et al., 2006 ). Many different cognitive (e.g., lack of knowledge), affective (e.g., motivation), social (e.g., patient acceptance) and environmental (e.g., reimbursement) factors may act as barriers for implementation (Holmes‐Rovner et al., 2007 ; Michie et al., 2005 ).…”

Background Despite the compelling case for engaging parents in speech and language therapy, research indicates that speech and language therapists (SLTs) currently have a leading role in the goal‐setting process of therapy for children with developmental language disorder (DLD). Therefore, we set out to develop a tool that aims to support the dialogue between SLTs and parents and enhance shared decision‐making about children's communicative participation goals. We used co‐design techniques with SLT–practitioners to include their perspectives throughout the design process. Although co‐design has been used for some years in healthcare research, it is still a relatively new research methodology in the field of speech and language therapy. Aims To provide a detailed description of the co‐design process that led to the development of a physical artefact that can support SLTs to engage parents of children with DLD in collaborative goal‐setting. Methods & Procedures The Design Council's Double Diamond model was used to develop a tool in co‐design, together with eight SLTs, who participated in all stages of the development process. Usability was tested in actual goal‐setting conversations between four SLTs and 11 parents of a child with DLD resulting in stepwise improvements. In addition, usability of the first and final prototypes was tested with five usability criteria that were rated on a 10‐point scale by 64 SLTs. Outcomes & Results The co‐design process resulted in the development of a physical prototype of the tool called ‘ENGAGE’, consisting of a metal ‘tree trunk’ on which parents can stick magnetic ‘leaves’ containing potential participation goals for their child. The ‘tree’ shape represents a child's development and opportunities for growth. This first prototype received marks between 7.0 and 8.0 out of 10 on attractiveness, user‐friendliness, safety, functionality and affordability. After several iterations, there were significantly higher marks for attractiveness, user‐friendliness and safety in favour for the final prototype. Marks for functionality and affordability did not change significantly. Conclusions & Implications As researchers we usually develop pen‐and‐paper tools, interview protocols, apps or questionnaires to support clinical practice. Including the SLTs’ perspectives in the design process resulted in a tree‐shaped physical artefact that, according to the SLTs, helps to order information and encourages and guides their dialogue with parents. We strongly advocate the inclusion of end‐users in developing innovative user‐centred tools for speech and language therapy and we hope that this will become widespread practice. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS What is already known on the subject Collaborative goal‐setting is at the heart of family‐centred speech and language therapy. However, research indicates that goal‐setting processes for children with DLD are currently predominantly therapist‐led, instead of family‐centred. Reasons for the lack of parental engagement are that effective communication wi...

Over 60 million tons of E‐waste is expected to be generated in 2023, with associated significant impacts on health and the environment. To reduce the number of products sent to landfills, “Right to Repair” (RtR) movements are gaining momentum in many countries, including the UK, USA, and EU member states. While Universities are seen as important stakeholders to drive forward sustainable design practices, there is currently little work looking at training undergraduate design engineers in the principles of designing household products in support of RtR. In particular, the project‐based learning (PBL) pedagogy shows promise in engaging and training students with the skills and knowledge required to successfully design products for RtR. In this paper, a pilot‐study of teaching engineers is presented to design products compatible with RtR principles, alongside many technical skills, in a first‐year PBL course. The key outputs of this paper are the design of the module, which can be used to help inform first‐year engineering education, the high engagement of students, with 100% of respondents agreeing that they intend to try to implement sustainable design practices in future, and some of the innovative features that students implement in their projects.

Proning, or turning a patient face down, is a technique used to manage patients with acute respiratory distress in intensive care units (ICUs). Research suggests that the type of pillow used in proning may have a significant impact on patient outcomes and increase the risk of disfiguring pressure injuries to the face. However, there is little evidence surrounding the usability of these pillows in the ICU. The aim of this study was to identify redesign opportunities by understanding how the tools, tasks, people, environment, and organization all interact during proning in the ICU. Thirty‐six ICU clinicians from two Australian public metropolitan hospitals completed an online questionnaire regarding their opinions and experiences with proned patients and the prevention of pressure injuries. Seven ICU clinicians then completed journey mapping activities to document the key workflows, critical incidents, considerations, and personnel involved in managing proned patients in the ICU. Several barriers and facilitators to pressure injury prevention were identified, including interactions between the various tools (e.g., proning pillows with one opening limits the management of several medical devices), the tasks (e.g., high frequency of repositioning), the people (e.g., clinical inexperience, patient features), the environment (e.g., limited availability of tools), and the organization (e.g., limited number of staff to support tasks). This holistic approach revealed several opportunities for the redesign of proning pillows and associated systems. Key takeaways include the limitations of a one‐size‐fits‐all approach to proning in the ICU context, and the need for flexibility and customization to improve proning pillows, associated medical devices, prophylactic dressings, aids, and processes.
