Research Abstract |
Care workers have anxiety and aniticipation when assistive devices are adopted for the aged in Special Nursing Home. As a counter measure , they devised ways to give a sense of security to the aged and conducted workshops among themselves on the technology of assistive devices. By using assistive devices, the elderly have shown affirmative behavior and the improvement in their physical functions. In addition, there have been a reduction in the burden on the caregivers and in the reports on external injuries and welfare incident, etc. It has become clear that when the elderly show rejection or poor physical condition and when the care workers have no time, the elderly have to be physically lifted when they are being cared for. This study is important in having made it clearer that the adoption of assistive devices was beneficial to the elderly. It also suggested the importance for the care workers to have the capability to perform assessment to transfer assistance appropriately.
