研究概览
简要总结
The study explores the benefits from the application of an all-in-one health monitoring device by care staff in old-age home setting: whether the average time consumed for measuring vital signs (including temperature, blood pressure and SpO2) will be shortened after the adoption of the new device. The study also assesses the satisfaction and perceived usability of the stakeholders towards the all-in-one health monitoring device.
详细描述
Study design
This is a single-group experimental 10-week trial of comparing the time consumed for measuring health indicators by using the new all-in-one health monitoring device and using the traditional devices, using days as the analysis unit (i.e. comparing the time consumed in two measurements on same days). Before the trial, there will be a 2-week period of device piloting and calibration, so all residents will be measured by the new device for 12 weeks. Views and comments from the operation staff on the usage of the device will also be collected.
Subjects
Care staff and residents in Haven of Hope Woo Ping Care & Attention Home & Haven of Hope Nursing Home will be recruited for the main analysis. If residents are competent in giving consent, both residents and their guarantor, who are responsible for making decisions and signing documents for the residents, will be approached for consent. In cases residents are not competent in giving consents, only their guarantor will be approached for consent.
