“…Satisfying (how useful the users find the system) was evaluated using two validated questionnaires: the 10-item system usability scale (SUS) (30) and the short form 50-item questionnaire for user interaction satisfaction (QUIS) (31,32). The SUS is a flexible questionnaire designed to assess any technology and is relatively quick and easy to complete.…”

The introduction of electronic health records has produced many challenges for clinicians. These include integrating technology into clinical workflow and fragmentation of relevant information across systems. Dashboards, that use visualized data to summarize key patient information, have the potential to address these issues. In this paper we outline a usability evaluation of a dashboard designed for home care nurses. An iterative design process was used which consisted of a) contextual inquiry (observation and interviews) with 2 home care nurses b) rapid feedback on paper prototypes of the dashboard (10 nurses) and c) usability evaluation of the final dashboard prototype (20 nurses). Usability methods and assessments included observation of nurses interacting with the dashboard, the system usability scale (SUS) and the Questionnaire for User Interaction Satisfaction (QUIS) short form. The dashboard prototype was deemed to have high usability (mean SUS 73.2; SD 18.8) and was positively evaluated by nurse users. It is important to ensure that technology solutions such as the one proposed here, are designed with clinical users in mind, to meet their information needs. The design elements of the dashboard outlined here, could be translated to other EHRs used in home care settings.

“…Largely informed by a shifting paradigm towards the 'new father' in the literature on fathering in developed countries that moves beyond the gender binary of caring mothers and breadwinning fathers (e.g. Cooklin et al 2014;De Souza 2014), such studies emphasise migrant men's breadwinning roles, while underscoring their involvement in active nurturing.…”

This article probes how gender norms and male migrants' legal and socioeconomic position shape transnational fathering amongst Ghanaian-born fathers, residing in the Netherlands, who have one or more children living in Ghana. Drawing on ethnographic research with Ghanaian transnational fathers, this article compares fathers' attitudes and actual practices. In conformity with cultural expectations of fatherhood in Ghana, the men in this study primarily addressed their paternal role in terms of financial support for their families as 'breadwinners'. Alongside breadwinning responsibilities, however, over three-quarters of the Ghanaian fathers espoused more 'engaged' parenting ideals, challenging stereotypes of the uncaring and distant migrant father who neglects his 'stay-behind' children's emotional needs. Our analysis shows that fathers' legal and socioeconomic status largely determines men's possibilities to perform their material and 'emotionally engaged' paternal ideals across borders. The emotional distance was particularly pronounced for undocumented and low-income migrants who were legally or financially incapable of bridging the emotional gulf arising from physical distance.

“…Also, mothers' efforts to provide financially for the family back home were appreciated. As such, this study underlines that the shifting paradigm that moves care practices and norms beyond the gender binary of caring mothers and breadwinning fathers (Cooklin et al, 2014;De Souza, 2014), is not limited to parenting in the national context and developed countries; it also applies to cross-border families from the Global South.…”

“…This thesis builds on more recent feminist and family sociology scholarship that has argued that men's care work can hardly be distinguished from women' care work (see Biblarz & Stacey, 2010;Doucet, 2006;Ranson, 2010), although expectations of caregiving are still highly gendered (Doucet, 2011). The shifting paradigm towards the 'new father' in literature on fathering in developed countries has moved beyond the gender binary of caring mothers and breadwinning fathers (Coakley, Shears & Randolph, 2014;De Souza, 2014):…”
