简要总结
To address the needs of the many patients who cannot access the standard nurse call systems Iowa Adaptive Technologies has developed the Noddle, a smart switch that can take the smallest intentional gesture a patient can make (e.g. tongue click, wink) and allow the patient to access the nurse call system and control a speech-generating device. This study will assess how patients and their nurses as well as family members perceive the impact of having a device that would allow them to summon the nurse and to be able to effectively communicate. Patients will be provided a Noddle and will be free to use it as much or a little as they like during their hospitalization. Patients will either use the Noddle just to access the nurse call system or they will use it to access the nurse call system and a speech-generating device. Patients, nurses and family members will be asked to complete an exit questionnaire prior to discharge from the hospital.
详细描述
The study will evaluate the responses of patients, nurses and family members to the use of the Noddle switch to enable the patients to access the nurse call system and a speech generating device. Patients who cannot access the standard nurse call and who may not be able to speak due to mechanical ventilation will be recruited to the study and provided the opportunity to use the Noddle switch as long as they want while they are hospitalized at UIHC. Prior to their discharge or when they no longer need or want to use the Noddle switch, they along with their nurses and family members (if present) will be asked to complete a survey to assess their ability to effectively communicate. The data from the study participants will be compared to data from two groups of patients from a previous study who were either able to or unable to access the nurse call system and communicate with caregivers.
