蓝牙可穿戴设备用于在养老院的联系人追踪是不可行的,因为实施挑战和参与者负担. 未来的研究应该优先考虑共同设计和可穿戴性,以便在老年护理中进行有效的数字健康干预.
科学领域:
- 数字健康干预措施 数字健康干预措施
- 预防和控制感染的预防和控制.
- 实施科学 实施科学
背景情况:
- 在养老院的老年人面临着高的COVID-19死亡风险,需要强有力的感染预防和控制 (IPC) 措施.
- 传统的接触追踪在养老院是无效的,因为高居民认知障碍率.
- 使用数字技术 (CONTACT) 干预的护理家庭的联系追踪旨在使用蓝牙可穿戴设备自动化联系追踪.
研究的目的:
- 评估CONTACT干预措施在英国养老院的可行性和可接受性.
- 探索支持蓝牙的可穿戴设备在IPC决策和减少限制措施方面的潜力.
- 与CONTACT研究一起检查空气质量.
主要方法:
- 一项非随机的,混合方法可行性研究,在四个英国养老院进行.
- 涉及105名居民和178名工作人员佩戴蓝牙设备.
- 收集的数据包括设备使用,定性访谈,观察和规范化措施开发问卷,使用描述和专题方法进行分析.
主要成果:
- 设备损失的高率 (居民11%,工作人员6.5%) 和电池故障影响了干预的连续性.
- 养老院对反报告的理解和采取行动有所不同,研究人员的支持至关重要.
- 工作人员的隐私问题和参与的额外负担,由大流行扩大,导致该研究不符合其进展标准.
结论:
- 对于养老院来说,CONTACT干预的最终试验是不可行的或不可接受的.
- 实施挑战和可穿戴性问题需要对养老院未来的数字健康技术给予重大关注.
- 蓝牙可穿戴设备有潜力了解传播风险,并提高护理质量,如果实施是优化的.
