Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research was to develop a method for alleviating the pain of cancer patients through skin care provided by nurses.
We have developed an evaluation method in the process of demonstrating the relaxation effect of the‘feeling of comfort' provided by the‘steamed cloth' we have already developed and the‘steam-generating cleaning tool' that utilizes it. In particular, we published the results of psychological evaluation, brain waves, and a new engineering method of measuring moisture content on skin using a developed human skin tactile sensor and near-infrared two-dimensional Fourier spectrometry. These can be expected to be used to explain the complex senses and state of mind of humans when humanoid robots are required to be more human-like. Suffering from illness is an unavoidable part of life, but by alleviating it we can support a positive attitude towards life.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

看護学はその独立性への欲求から,看護学独自の研究手法を探求してきた.しかし,基礎研究の深化により,実験的研究や異分野融合研究が進んでいる.本研究では,工学分野の新規の測定技法がケア現場を意図して開発され,その有用性を明確に示した.また脳波は複雑で解釈困難さはあるものの,脳の反応を示す重要な手がかりであり,心理学的測定との関連からこころを説明する期待がある.これらの測定技法を総合的に解釈することにより,清拭試料の弁別性を説明することができた.さらに測定技法の特性を解釈,解析することにより,人の苦痛緩和における説明力を高めたいと考える.看護医工学連携の成果への期待は未知数であり発展の期待を高めた.
