| Research Abstract |
For the purpose of improving the sleeping rhythm of elderly people, we have developed a hot-pack made of superabsorbent polymer, which can be readily heated in a microwave oven. The warmed hot-pack induces bathing-like effects by raising the body temperature. This effect induces the sleep in the elderly people. Actually, the hop-pack improved sleeping rhythm by reducing the frequency of nocturnal awakening and sleeping latency of elderly people, especially, those with daily complaints of insomnia, in the nursing facility.
We have made a new nursing program aiming at a good sleep of elderly people.
