Usability Testing of a Bystander Bullying Intervention for Rural Middle Schools: Mixed Methods Study
Notice bibliographique
Résumé
BACKGROUND: Targets of bullying are at high risk of negative socioemotional outcomes. Bullying programming in rural schools is important as bullying is more prevalent in those schools compared to urban schools. Comprehensive, school-wide bullying programs require resources that create significant barriers to implementation for rural schools. Because technology-based programs can reduce implementation barriers, the development of a technology-based program increases access to bullying prevention in rural settings. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to conduct usability testing of a bystander bullying intervention (STAC-T). We assessed usability and acceptability of the STAC-T application and differences in usability between school personnel and students. We were also interested in qualitative feedback about usability, program features, and feasibility. METHODS: A sample of 21 participants (n=10, 48% school personnel; n=11, 52% students) recruited from 2 rural middle schools in 2 states completed usability testing and a qualitative interview. We used descriptive statistics and 2-tailed independent-sample t tests to assess usability and program satisfaction. We used consensual qualitative research as a framework to extract themes about usefulness, relevance, needs, barriers, and feedback for intervention development. RESULTS: Usability testing indicated that the application was easy to use, acceptable, and feasible. School personnel (mean score 96.0, SD 3.9) and students (mean score 88.6, SD 9.5) rated the application well above the standard cutoff score for above-average usability (68.0). School personnel (mean score 6.10, SD 0.32) and students (mean score 6.09, SD 0.30) gave the application high user-friendliness ratings (0-7 scale; 7 indicates highest user-friendliness). All 10 school personnel stated they would recommend the program to others, and 90% (9/10) rated the program with 4 or 5 stars. Among students, 91% (10/11) stated they would recommend the program to others, and 100% (11/11) rated the program with 4 or 5 stars. There were no statistically significant differences in ratings between school personnel and students. Qualitative data revealed school personnel and students found the application useful, relevant, and appropriate while providing feedback about the importance of text narration and the need for teacher and parent training to accompany the student program. The data showed that school personnel and students found a tracker to report different types of bullying witnessed and strategies used to intervene by students a useful addition to STAC-T. School personnel reported perceiving the program to be practical and very likely to be adopted by schools, with time, cost, and accessibility being potential barriers. Overall, findings suggest that the STAC-T application has the potential to increase access to bullying prevention for students in rural communities. CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate high usability and acceptability of STAC-T and provide support for implementing a full-scale randomized controlled trial to test the efficacy of the application.
