Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to clarify the comfort of prone positioning by comparing subjective evaluations of prone positioning using the created prone cushions and slide sheets with those using no cushions and sheets. Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 21 students without any spinal disorders. These students responded to our recruitment notice for study participants on the bulletin board of our university. The “RE scale （the rating scale of emotion as defined in terms of relaxation）,” “Face Scale,” and “fatigue area inspection” were used as evaluation indices before and after the intervention, and a four-level evaluation and free description of the comfort of body position change and prone position were performed after the intervention. The intervention was implemented in the following order: （1） body position change from the supine to the prone position, （2） maintenance of the prone position for 15 min, and （3） body position change from the prone to The spine position. The Mann-Whitney U test was performed for intergroup comparison, and the free description by participants was qualitatively and inductively analyzed. Results: The Face Scale and fatigue area inspection revealed significant intergroup differences in terms of neck area, as the control group experienced greater discomfort than the intervention group. The control group significantly reported pain and lethargy in the neck area. In addition, the intervention group provided positive feedback regarding assistance in changing the body position. Conclusion: The prone positioning using the prone cushions and slide sheets was more comfortable than the prone positioning with no cushions and sheets.
