Description

<p>Care evaluation, including a sense of discomfort, such as body twisting and recognition of the use of assistive device while providing care, was conducted using questionnaires pertaining to after care and the use of a switch button during care in order to develop assistive devices for repositioning care, which provide benefits and comfort not only to caregivers but also to care receivers. A total of 30 general elderly people were recruited and were provided with repositioning cares by clinical nurses. Among them, 28 participants, with an average age of 72.3±3.9 years, were analyzed for their experiences of care. The degree of care satisfaction was related to the sense of body twisting and support instability. The sense of body twisting during care commonly occurred while turning from supine to lateral position or changing a diaper. The recognition of using assistive devices was positive. Although using an assistive device has been known to reduce human warmth, it can help caregivers in alleviating their burden while providing positioning care, and care receivers in eliminating their hesitation and concern for their caregivers.</p>
