術後復原衣設計於佩掛動態心電圖監控病患之機能性探討

Effects of Post-Operative Garment Design on Health Care of Patients with ECG Holter Monitors Study

本研究的目的為改善病人術後攜帶移動式心電圖設備，穿著之復原病人服裝。12位護理人員與18位病人台灣北部醫院參與本次研究。試穿者在問卷調查、訪談中提供意見與回饋；研究顯示病人對於新型術後復原衣滿意度達88％以上，研究證實新的改良術後復原衣有助於病人便利攜帶24小時移動式心電圖設備。同時我們建議醫療院所應為患者提供體積更小之生理監視器，讓病人方便長時間穿戴配戴以達到醫療照護的目標。

The purpose of this study was to examine effects of wearing a new Post-Operative Garment, designed with carrying ECG Holter Monitors on patients' health care. There are 12 nursing personnel and 18 patients in a hospital in Northern Taiwan were the subjects in this study. Every subject provided feedback in a participated, questionnaire survey and in-depth interview on the effect of Post-Operative Garment. The researchers investigated what problems were encountered when wearing and carrying for patients' designed garments and collected ECG data. The findings of this study indicated that the new Post-Operative Garment had significant effects on traditional clothing, based on the satisfaction surveys and patient dignity estimation. More than 88% of the hospitalized patients showed satisfied and preference to the new design. Finally, the study confirms that the new Post-Operative Garment help patients in carrying ECG Holter Monitors for 24 hours with highly satisfying. In order to take advantage of this new design in better using experience, it's recommended that hospitals can offer smaller ECG Holter Monitors for patients in future.
