Abstract

This study aimed to assess the development and usability of the Visually Impaired Masseur Assistance Application (VIMAA) designed to respond to signs of danger or instances of sexual harassment experienced by Visually Impaired Masseurs (VIMs). It harmonizes Rapid Application Development (RAD) method and qualitative in-depth interviews. RAD was implemented with emphasis on four core stages: requirement identification, design workshop, construction, and implementation, while Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted utilizing thematic analysis for usability testing. Functionality testing also verifies the effectiveness of VIMAA features while requesting help, notification, and feedback. Pre-test identified four themes, including traumatic experiences and the need for protection. Post-test revealed themes such as ease of requesting assistance and switching to speech mode. VIMs perceive that VIMAA as user-friendly, practical, and acceptable. The requesting help, notification, and feedback features also work well. This study presents the effectiveness of VIMAA in establishing a framework that is accessible by a diverse spectrum of VIMs. The insights derived from this research also furnish valuable perspectives on the preferences of users reliant on mobile applications designed for VIMs, thus providing significant impetus for future research and development endeavors in this domain.

加强无障碍环境:为视障按摩师开发减少性骚扰的移动应用程序并进行可用性测试。
本研究旨在评估视障按摩师援助应用程序(VIMAA)的开发和可用性,该应用程序旨在应对视障按摩师(VIM)遇到的危险迹象或性骚扰事件。它协调了快速应用程序开发(RAD)方法和定性深入访谈。快速应用程序开发方法的实施侧重于四个核心阶段:需求识别、设计工作坊、构建和实施,而定性深入访谈则利用专题分析进行可用性测试。在请求帮助、通知和反馈的同时,功能测试也验证了 VIMAA 功能的有效性。前测确定了四个主题,包括创伤经历和保护需求。后测试显示了请求帮助和切换到语音模式的便捷性等主题。自愿信息管理员认为 VIMAA 方便易用、实用且可接受。求助、通知和反馈功能也很好用。本研究介绍了 VIMAA 在建立一个可供不同 VIM 使用的框架方面的有效性。从这项研究中获得的启示还为了解依赖于为 VIMs 设计的移动应用程序的用户的偏好提供了宝贵的视角,从而为该领域未来的研究和开发工作提供了重要的推动力。
