Abstract
Purpose/aims: To determine the feasibility of a nurse invention called the Bag Below Bladder (B3) Buddy using validated usability and acceptability tools, in securing urinary drainage bags while patients ambulate.
Design: An intervention study was implemented in a participant dyad consisting of a patient and clinician. Each dyad used the B3 Buddy in 1 encounter, ambulating at least 90 ft in an inpatient unit.
Methods: After the ambulation experience, patients completed the Acceptability of Implementation Measure tool, and clinicians completed the System Usability Scale (SUS) tool. Data analyses were performed using SAS version 9.4 for Windows (SAS Institute, Cary, North Carolina).
Results: All 21 patient participants found the B3 Buddy device acceptable, with a 95% confidence interval of 83.9% to 100%, exceeding the 70% acceptability threshold. Among the 20 clinicians, the average SUS score was 90.1, with a 95% confidence interval of 84.9 to 95.3, indicating high usability. Statistically significant differences in SUS scores were observed, with higher scores for clinicians with at least a bachelor's degree and registered nurses.
Conclusion: This B3 Buddy device was found to be acceptable and usable to the end-users who participated in this study. The inventors are now seeking a manufacturer partnership for further development.
目的/目的:确定一种名为膀胱下袋(B3) Buddy的护士发明的可行性,使用经过验证的可用性和可接受性工具,在患者行走时固定尿引流袋。设计:一项干预研究在由患者和临床医生组成的参与者组中实施。每个双人组在一次遭遇战中使用B3 Buddy,在住院部移动至少90英尺。方法:在行走体验后,患者完成可接受性实施测量工具,临床医生完成系统可用性量表(SUS)工具。数据分析使用SAS version 9.4 for Windows (SAS Institute, Cary, North Carolina)。结果:21例患者均认为B3 Buddy装置可接受,95%置信区间为83.9% ~ 100%,超过70%可接受阈值。20名临床医生的SUS平均得分为90.1,95%可信区间为84.9 ~ 95.3,可用性较高。在SUS评分中观察到有统计学意义的差异,至少拥有学士学位的临床医生和注册护士的得分更高。结论:B3 Buddy装置对于参与本研究的最终用户是可接受和可用的。发明人目前正在寻求制造商合作,以进一步发展。
期刊介绍:
The purpose of Clinical Nurse Specialist™: The International Journal for Advanced Nursing Practice is to disseminate outcomes of clinical nurse specialist practice, to foster continued development o fthe clinical nurse specialist role, and to highlight clinical nurse specialist contributions to advancing nursing practice and health policy globally. Objectives of the journal are: 1. Disseminate knowledge about clinical nurse specialist competencies and the education and regulation of practice; 2. Communicate outcomes of clinical nurse specialist practice on quality, safety, and cost of nursing and health services across the continuum of care; 3. Promote evidence-based practice and innovation in the transformation of nursing and health policy for the betterment of the public welfare; 4. Foster intra-professional and interdisciplinary dialogue addressing nursing and health services for specialty populations in diverse care settings adn cultures.
