Interactive hand hygiene training for special education pre-vocational students

摘要 这个项目将反复开发和测试一个可玩的互动洗手训练器的原型，以改进 在职前计划中为残疾学生提供手部卫生服务。手部卫生培训师将为一位不速之客 需要就正确的洗手技巧提供严格、系统和一致的指导。互动型 该计划将吸引学生，确保培训达到高标准，并显著节省教师和工作人员 否则就会花在重复的一对一培训上的时间。 商业发布的Trader将可以在智能手机、平板电脑或笔记本电脑上播放，并将强调(1) 如何洗涤--适当的技术和持续时间；(2)何时洗涤--相关场景；(3)持续使用-- 建立和保持良好的卫生习惯。所有这三个要素都是有效手所必需的 卫生保健。 目标1：迭代设计。项目团队将与教育和职业预科专家合作，共同设计 为有一系列身体和认知障碍的学生开发一个可玩的原型。里程碑：(1)概念 检查将确保培训是准确和适当的。(2)通用设计原则将打造一款训练器 确保各种能力的可获得性(3)硬件规格和测试将确保培训师在典型的 学校的硬件。(4)教师的仪表板将跟踪进度，确定哪些学生需要关注。(5)快速 迭代快速开发冲刺，然后进行播放测试，将加速原型开发以实现工作 原型。 目标2：评估。里程碑：(1)与老师和学生一起进行的可用性研究将测试可玩原型。(2) 一项可行性研究将在培训师干预前后测试学生的洗手能力。这 可行性研究将采用单一案例设计。单案例设计研究是一种强大的、成熟的方法 评估教育和行为研究中的学习干预。对于特殊教育学生，他们可以 在残疾类型和严重程度上表现出很大的差异，单病例设计特别合适， 因为每个主体都充当着自己的控制力。在基线期间重复仔细测量，然后 在使用手卫生训练器进行干预期间，类似的重复测量可以检测到由于 培训师，控制学生群体中出现的各种残疾以及任何潜在的残疾 在实施干预之前可能出现的改善。 商业应用的潜力也包括学区和以社区为基础的职业前计划 作为通常雇用残疾人的大公司，并为他们的客户寻求有效的手卫生计划 从事医疗支持、食品准备或卫生工作的员工。

ABSTRACT This project will iteratively develop and test a playable prototype of an interactive handwashing trainer to improve hand hygiene for students with disabilities in pre-vocational programs. The hand hygiene trainer will serve an unmet need to provide rigorous, systematic, and consistent instruction on proper handwashing technique. The interactive program will engage students, ensure that the training is to a high standard, and save teachers and staff significant time that would otherwise be spent on repetitive, 1-on-1 training. The commercially released trainer will be playable on smartphones, tablets, or notebooks, and will emphasize (1) how to wash--proper technique and duration; (2) when to wash--relevant scenarios and (3) consistent application-- establishment and maintenance of good hygiene habits. All three components are necessary for effective hand hygiene. Aim 1: Iterative Design. The project team will work with educational and prevocational experts as co-designers to develop a playable prototype for students with a range of physical and cognitive disabilities. Milestones: (1) concept check will ensure the training is accurate and appropriate. (2) Principles of universal design will build a trainer that ensures accessibility for a wide range of abilities (3) Hardware specs & testing will ensure the trainer runs on typical school hardware. (4) A teacher’s dashboard will track progress, identifying which students need attention. (5) Rapid iteration of quick development sprints, followed by playtesting, will accelerate prototyping to achieve a working prototype. Aim 2: Evaluation. Milestones: (1) A usability study with a teacher and students will test the playable prototype. (2) A feasibility study will test handwashing proficiency among students before and after the trainer intervention. This feasibility study will use single-case design. Single-case design studies are powerful, well-established approaches to assess learning interventions in educational and behavioral research. For special education students, who may exhibit wide variations in both type and severity of disability, the single-case design is particularly appropriate, because each subject serves as their own control. Repeated, careful measurements during baseline, followed by similar repeated measurements during intervention with the hand hygiene trainer, can detect changes due to the trainer, controlling for the variety of disabilities presented in the student population, as well as any potential improvement that may occur before the intervention is implemented. Potential for commercial applications include school-district and community-based pre-vocational programs, as well as large firms that commonly employ people with disabilities, and seek effective hand hygiene programs for their employees involved in healthcare support, food preparation, or sanitation.
