The long-term use of transfer support robots in nursing facilities is an important option for improving the efficiency of care work. The "Resyone" transfer support robot is a combination of an electric care bed and a wheelchair, and the wheelchair half of the bed can be detached at the touch of a button. The purpose of this study was to investigate how the long-term use of Resyone would improve the performance of transfer assists, such as reducing the need for multiple caregivers. One Resyone was installed in a nursing facility in Japan and 17 caregivers used it for more than 11 months. The time and number of caregivers required for each transfer assist were surveyed for three 1-week periods: 1 week before (Phase 1) and at 3 weeks (Phase 2) and 11 months (Phase 3) after the introduction of Resyone. In Phase 1, approximately 60% of all transfer assists were performed by two caregivers, but in Phase 2, this was reduced to approximately 20%, and finally, in Phase 3, all transfer assists were performed by a single caregiver. These results suggested that the long-term use of Resyone was associated with improved work efficiency in transfer assistance in a nursing facility.
在护理机构中长期使用搬运辅助机器人是提高护理工作效率的重要选择。“Resyone”搬运辅助机器人是电动护理床和轮椅的组合，床的轮椅部分只需按一下按钮即可拆卸。本研究的目的是调查长期使用Resyone如何提高搬运辅助的性能，例如减少对多名护理人员的需求。在日本的一家护理机构安装了一台Resyone，17名护理人员使用了11个多月。在引入Resyone之前的1周（第1阶段）、引入后的3周（第2阶段）和11个月（第3阶段）这三个为期1周的时间段内，对每次搬运辅助所需的时间和护理人员数量进行了调查。在第1阶段，所有搬运辅助中约60%由两名护理人员完成，但在第2阶段，这一比例降至约20%，最终在第3阶段，所有搬运辅助均由一名护理人员完成。这些结果表明，在护理机构中长期使用Resyone与搬运辅助工作效率的提高有关。
