简要总结
The study has 3 primary research questions and 6 secondary research questions targeting care staff in the setting of residential care homes for the elderly. The 3 primary research questions are:
- Will care staff perceive the remote real-time health monitoring system with ring-like sensor as efficient?
- Will the system facilitate any early detection of abnormal vital signs?
- Will the system facilitate early delivery of medical support?
The 6 secondary research questions are: 4. What are the numbers of hospital admissions and further medical assistance due to the adoption of the system? 5. Will the system reduce the stress level of the care staff? 6. What are the perceived benefits and acceptability of the care staff towards the system? 7. What should be considered when developing the evaluation framework for the adaption of the system in elderly residential setting? 8. Are there any barriers and difficulties in the set-up of the system? 9. What are the concerns in choosing wireless or cable connection for the monitoring device?
详细描述
Study design
This is a single-group 4-week trial of using the remote health monitoring system. All care staff who manage the system will complete a very brief survey (1-minute) after each work shift for 2 weeks. Detection of abnormal vital signs will be recorded by the system. Hospital admission and further medical assistance due to the adoption of the system will be documented by the care team. The care staff will be interviewed about their perceived benefits and acceptability of the system.
Subjects
Care staff in Haven of Hope Woo Ping Care & Attention Home and Haven of Hope Nursing Home who are responsible to set up and operate real-time remote health monitoring system will be recruited. They also need to be able to read and understand Chinese.
