在护理设施中长期使用转运支持机器人是提高护理工作效率的重要选择。“Resyone”转移辅助机器人是电动护理床和轮椅的组合，只需按一下按钮，轮椅的一半就可以脱离床。本研究的目的是调查长期使用Resyone如何改善转移辅助的性能，例如减少对多个护理人员的需求。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。在三个为期一周的时间内调查了每次转移辅助所需的护理人员的时间和数量：1周前（第1阶段）和3周（第2阶段）以及引入Resyone后11个月（第3阶段）。在第一阶段，大约60%的转移协助是由两名护理人员执行的，但在第二阶段，这一比例减少到大约20%，最后，在第三阶段，所有转移协助都是由一名护理人员执行的。这些结果表明，长期使用Resyone与护理机构中转移协助的工作效率提高有关。
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.
