Research Abstract

It is very important to reduce the burden of care givers because the number of aged handicapped people is increasing. The purpose of this study is to develop a simple method to evaluate the change of the care burden objectively. We interviewed seven care givers and found that they felt most difficult to assist in bathing for their aged family. The heart rate changes of six care staff were monitored from 0900 to 1700 hours. All the records showed the highest heart rate occurred when the care staff assisted the aged to take a bath. These two results suggest that we we should evaluate the intensity of workload in bathing assistance. In this study, two female care staff (a and b) helped the bathing of six aged people, while their heart rate were monitored by an ambulatory heart rate memory system. The six aged subjects were divided into two groups according to their ability in activities of daily living. Three of the aged were able to maintain standing posture with slight help (group A). The rest were able to maintain standing only with full assistance by the care staff (group B). Relative heart rate (100%=resting heart rate during sitting) of the two staff were higher when they assisted the bathing of group B compared with that of group A.The relative heart rate of staff a were 95-142% when she gave assistance for group B and 88-122% when she helped group A.The results for staff b were 97-143% and 90-130% respectively. Relative heart rate should decrease when the workloads of care actions are reduced. This study provides some evidence that the change of care burden can be evaluated by the change of relative heart rate.
