Assistive technology self-management intervention for older Hispanics: a feasibility study.

Conclusion: The intervention was feasible and acceptable and is promising in decreasing performance difficulties in daily activities as well as in having a positive impact in older Hispanics' quality of life. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Older Hispanics living in Puerto Rico experience a high prevalence of disabilities in independent living. In a relative small sample this study shows that an assistive technology (AT) and disability self-management intervention for older Hispanics living in Puerto Rico is feasible to be delivered in a group format and in the community context. Older Hispanics living in Puerto Rico can potentially decrease performance difficulties in daily living activities and improved their quality of life through assistive technology and disability self-management interventions.
