N2 - Aim: This study aims to describe rehabilitation nurses' perspectives on the complexity of and intention to use an innovative device for post-infarction patients. Design: The research employed a qualitative method, with a video demonstration, and analysis provided by the participants. To guide the study, the Technology Acceptance Model was used in order to measure perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Methods: Focus Groups were used to collect nurses' perspectives on the developed device. Recruitment followed a snowball sampling method. Eligible participants received an email with an informed consent form. Privacy and confidentiality were maintained throughout. Content analysis was performed using ATLAS.ti v7, with Bardin's technique, i.e., an a posteriori categorical organization. Results: Three categories were identified as relevant to the study objectives: "Therapeutic adherence and motivation"; "Home and autonomy of the patient and caregiver"; and "Factors that facilitate the practice of the rehabilitation nurse". Participants felt that the innovation and technological complexity of the device might help to increase patient motivation and adherence, which would be of great use to rehabilitation nurses, allowing better intervention development. Conclusion: Participants perceived the device as useful to practice, and beneficial to post-infarction patients. Interestingly, the complexity inherent to the device is regarded as a factor that may increase motivation and adherence.
