| Abstract: | PURPOSE: To rapidly develop the Attitudes Toward Smart Speaker Integration for Self-Management of Chronic Conditions (ASSIST) survey to evaluate attitudes toward various smart speaker functions for guiding a chronic disease self-management intervention among low-income older adults with chronic conditions and cognitive impairment. METHOD: The development process included four phases: conceptualization and survey category determination, item development, content validation, and refinement. An expert panel of nurse researchers and health informatics researchers assisted in identifying self-management categories and developing survey items by providing iterative feedback. RESULTS: Six major categories of chronic condition self-management were identified. The survey initially comprised 29 items within the six categories, later refined to a final set of 22 items, each reflecting relevant self-management tasks that could be supported by smart speakers. CONCLUSION: The ASSIST survey offers a practical tool for assessing perceived usefulness of various smart speaker–based tasks in chronic disease management that can inform an individualized intervention design for underserved older adults with cognitive impairment, although further validation is necessary to broaden its application. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved. |
