Abstract

In paediatric wards, establishing therapeutic rapport with children requires employing friendly gestures or an understanding gaze, an aspect inhibited when clinicians wear facial personal protective equipment (PPE). In this case study we explore how interactions in three scenarios of a paediatric ward might inform the design of child-friendly PPE. We show how our research methods involved healthcare professionals, parents, and children to identify problems and solution pathways. Our findings indicate that PPE for paediatric wards need to be a system design solution considering emotions, engagement, communication, education, and sustainability factors. We discuss three aspects of conducting design research in healthcare contexts: working within high-risk environments, ethics in design for healthcare projects, and the translation of findings within the regulatory landscape.

超越安全：儿科病房面部个人防护设备的设计审查

在儿科病房，与儿童建立治疗关系需要使用友好的手势或理解的目光，而当临床医生穿戴面部个人防护设备（PPE）时，这方面就会受到抑制。在本案例研究中，我们探讨了儿科病房三个场景中的互动如何为儿童友好型个人防护设备的设计提供参考。我们展示了我们的研究方法是如何让医护人员、家长和儿童参与进来，从而找出问题和解决问题的途径。我们的研究结果表明，儿科病房的个人防护设备必须是一个考虑到情感、参与、沟通、教育和可持续发展因素的系统设计解决方案。我们讨论了在医疗保健环境中开展设计研究的三个方面：在高风险环境中工作、医疗保健项目设计中的道德规范以及在监管环境中转化研究成果。

期刊介绍： Design Studies is a leading international academic journal focused on developing understanding of design processes. It studies design activity across all domains of application, including engineering and product design, architectural and urban design, computer artefacts and systems design. It therefore provides an interdisciplinary forum for the analysis, development and discussion of fundamental aspects of design activity, from cognition and methodology to values and philosophy. Design Studies publishes work that is concerned with the process of designing, and is relevant to a broad audience of researchers, teachers and practitioners. We welcome original, scientific and scholarly research papers reporting studies concerned with the process of designing in all its many fields, or furthering the development and application of new knowledge relating to design process. Papers should be written to be intelligible and pertinent to a wide range of readership across different design domains. To be relevant for this journal, a paper has to offer something that gives new insight into or knowledge about the design process, or assists new development of the processes of designing.
