The phrase "at use" is not commonly used in English and may sound awkward or ungrammatical in certain contexts.
Instead, you might consider using other phrases that express a similar meaning, such as "in use," "for use," or "being used." For example, "This product is currently in use by thousands of customers around the world."
Accounts of AT use predominantly focused on the benefits AT brought to carers and their caring roles.
NF and AT training was further compared by Valentine and Williamon regarding AT use [ 29].
The routines supporting AT use could also quickly change as a person's dementia progressed, meaning carers 'work' in relation to AT frequently had to adapt and change if AT use was to be sustained.
In addition, AT use by people with dementia was frequently subtly, or sometimes significantly, different from their original intended purpose.
In terms of attitudes to AT use, people with dementia appear generally positive especially if it can facilitate autonomy and independence [ 21].
These problems are further exacerbated when AT use is unsupported by formal health and social care services, potentially leading to the abandonment of AT.
Iba and colleagues describe a non-randomized survey of AT use in sepsis-associated DIC focusing on two potentially important factors, dose and baseline AT activity [ 1].
To date, research on AT in dementia has focused on small scale AT development or the ethical issues surrounding AT use (e.g. GPS technologies) [ 11, 20– 26].
In 7 out of 10 measures of AT use, there were significant interactions between group (AT, NF) and training (before, after).
When to introduce AT therefore became a key dilemma for family carers when making decisions about AT use, but an area in which they largely felt unsupported in their routine contact with formal care services.
To achieve successful AT integration into their daily lives, family carers had to undertake considerable work as the main gatekeeper and decision maker, to become the ultimate beneficiaries of AT use [ 33, 34].
