Sammanfattning
The aim is to describe the experience among first-time information-seekers
concerning municipal internet information on assistive devices provision.
Thirty-six students each visited two of the 33 municipal internet sites in the
Skåne region, reporting experiences thereof. These were analysed utilising
a thematic content analysis. Internet sites were considered difficult to navigate.
Language accessibility varied: terminology and translation tools caused
misunderstandings. Matters pertaining to assistive devices were labelled
as medical issues, accessible housing, or aging; all but related to disability.
Available information was considered sufficient concerning prescription per
se, but lacking information on specific assistive devices. Municipalities can,
with minor efforts, improve web-based information on assistive devices. Better
information may improve individual’s possibilities of leading an active life.
