論拍拍尺手環之應用成效

The Effectiveness of Applying Slap Bracelet Wristband

本文針對急性身心科病房病人不願配戴傳統手圈，導致病人辨識困難的問題，提出創新解決方案——拍拍尺手環。傳統手圈容易造成病人皮膚不適，且需多次更換，增加成本和感染風險。為了解決這些問題，我們設計了一款改良式拍拍尺手環，採用柔性金屬材料，具有舒適、可調節鬆緊度、易於清潔及重複使用等優點。通過比較傳統手圈與拍拍尺手環，我們發現新設計能提高病人接受度，降低護理工時，減少異常事件發生，並具備環保效益。此外，拍拍尺手環上的條碼易於掃描，確保病人身份辨識準確性。經實踐證明，該創新設計不僅提升護理品質，還可推廣至其他精神科病房。

This article addresses the issue of patients in acute psychiatric wards being unwilling to wear traditional wristbands, leading to difficulties in patient identification. We propose an innovative solution: a slap bracelet wristband. Traditional wristbands often cause skin discomfort, require frequent replacement, and pose a risk of infection. To solve these problems, we designed an improved slap bracelet wristband made of flexible metal, offering comfort, adjustable tightness, ease of cleaning, and reusability. By comparing the traditional wristband with the slap bracelet wristband, we found that the new design increases patient acceptance, reduces nursing workload, minimizes incidents, and has environmental benefits. Additionally, the barcode on the slap bracelet is easy to scan, ensuring accurate patient identification. The implementation has demonstrated that this innovative design not only enhances the quality of care but also has the potential for broader application in other psychiatric wards.
