Assessment

Primary outcomes

Feasible or non-feasible experimental facts of the new lifting technology & device to care tasks for bedridden persons. The results will be obtained at the end of the experiments.

Key secondary outcomes

1.Physical load of the caregiver performers using the new technology in comparison with the current one.
2.Comfort or discomfort of care-receiver performers using the new technology in comparison with the current one.
3.Appearance, symmetry and tidiness of the bed after the care tasks using the new technology in comparison with the current one.
4.Required time for care tasks using the new technology in comparison with the current one.
The results will be obtained at the end of the experiments.

Interventions/Control_1

After confirming the applicability of the new technology & the device to care tasks for bedridden persons, 15 pairs of healthy persons participate in the bedsheets change test of an occupied bed. Each of the pair uses the new technology and the current technology, and also alternating the roles of a caregiver and a care-receiver, tries 4 different cases and evaluate them comparatively. The test period is about 3 months.

Results

New tech: making a futon wavy under a person, belts being inserted to wave troughs, tied to a frame, the bed being lowered to lift the person. Feasibility tests: 1. a device set to an occupied bed, 2. sheets change, 3. change upper body clothes & 4. lower ones, 5. bed bath, 6. bedpan insertion, 7. move to a wheelchair, 8. sheet wrinkle removal. All but 3 & 5 were done well. Changing futon sheets with new & current methods by 30 participants: new tech was feasible, giving tidy sheets, but taking longer time.

Participant flow

Through the teaching staffs whose laboratories were in the same Department where the researchers were based, the participants were recruited, and got 30 applicants. All of them met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in the test. Though, this was a single arm test, as there existed the orders of the test, i.e. (1) the new technology and device, (2) the current method, or (1) the current method, (2) the new technology, about half of the pair began the test with the new technology and device, and the rest with the current method. The data of 30 participants were used for analyses.

Adverse events

none.

Outcome measures

・Feasibility of the new technology & device to care tasks.
・The paired differences of the following variables evaluated by the participants in the test of futon sheets change between using the new technology & device and the current method.
1.Subjective physical load of the simulated caregivers.
2. Subjective comfort or discomfort of the simulated care-receivers.
3. Appearance of the changed sheet.
4. The required time.

Plan to share IPD

none.
