Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to use eye trackers to infer the thought processes that lead to the starting point of an action from the gazing point dwell time and gazing point transition of perianesthesia nurses working in a medical institution.There is much information that can be obtained from vital monitors, and it is important to understand the patient's condition.As a preliminary step of a clinical trial, we watched a pseudo-created vital sign and measured changes in the gazing point.The results showed that there was no effect of work experience on the time spent gazing at each item projected on the vital signs.In other words, the results suggest that specialized education makes perianesthesia nurses' observation skills more constant.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究によって、注視点停留時間および注視点推移から、バイタルサインを観察する周麻酔期看護師の能力に差がないことが示唆された。思考プロセスを推測するには至らなかったが、今後、効果的な教育プログラムを検討、構築するための基礎となることが期待される。
