HospiSenior-UX: Evaluation of the User Experience of an Innovative Hospital Room Prototype Adapted to the Elderly
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Nowadays in France, the standards of hospital rooms are being questioned in view of the particularities of certain populations admitted to hospitals.
The " Groupement de Coopération Sanitaire des Hôpitaux Universitaires du Grand Ouest " (GCS HUGO) proposes to improve the quality of geriatric care through the modernisation of hospital rooms.
The GCS HUGO has launched a project to co-design a hospital room adapted to the elderly, called "Hospi'Senior", with the help of the "Dependency and Old Age" steering committee. This committee is made up of experts from HUGO and partner companies.
The Hospi'Senior room is composed of innovative technologies concerning bed equipment (e.g. bed canopy), autonomous (e.g. lifeline) and assisted mobility (e.g. rail lift system), lighting (e.g. light guide), communication (touch tablet) and social space (furniture).
The project consists in evaluating the user experience (UX) of :
-
patients hospitalized in the Hospi'Senior room,
-
informal caregivers of patients hospitalized in the Hospi'Senior room,
-
caregivers who have worked in the Hospi'Senior room.
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|

Detailed Description
The specificities of Hospi'Senior room are multiple and concern in particular :
-
The equipment of the bed :to create a more personalized room: presence of a bed canopy, orientation of the bed towards the windows, presence of a multifunctional space at the head of the bed.
-
The autonomous mobility of the patient by facilitating the movements and by preserving the orientation in time of the patient: ephemeris for the temporal orientation, lifeline and sliding door.
-
Caregiver-assisted mobility to facilitate patient movements: lifting rail above the bed.
-
Lighting to ensure safe movement, especially during the night: light guide, room light, window mirrors, bathroom lighting.
-
The digital interface with a touch tablet to improve the occupational and communication aspects.
-
The socialization space to welcome visitors in the room.
Design:
Step 1: A visit to the room is made to each participant (patients, informal caregivers, caregivers).
Step 2: no change in care or support for users during hospitalization
Step 3: UX assessment:
-
Patients: collected at the end of the hospitalization,
-
Informal caregivers: collected at the end of the patient's stay,
-
Caregivers: collected after 3 months of using the Hospi'Senior room.

User experience of the Hospi'Senior room is assessed by Attrakdiff scale (20 items)
- User experience of patients (meCUE) [at the end of hospitalization, an average of 9 days]
User experience of the Hospi'Senior room is assessed by meCUE (Modular Evaluation of key Components of User Experience) scale module 2 (8 items)
Secondary Outcome Measures
- User experience of informal caregivers (Attrakdiff) [at the end of hospitalization, an average of 9 days]
User experience of the Hospi'Senior room is assessed by Attrakdiff scale (20 items)
- User experience of informal caregivers (meCUE) [at the end of hospitalization, an average of 9 days]
User experience of the Hospi'Senior room is assessed by meCUE scale module 2 (8 items)
- User experience of caregivers (AttrakDiff) [after 3 months of using the Hospi'Senior room]
User experience of the Hospi'Senior room is assessed by Attrakdiff scale (20 items)
- User experience of caregivers (meCUE) [after 3 months of using the Hospi'Senior room]
User experience of the Hospi'Senior room is assessed by meCUE scale module 2 (8 items)
- User experience of patients and informal caregivers of each equipment [at the end of hospitalization, an average of 9 days]
User experience of each equipment is assessed by meCUE module 1 (5 items)
- User experience of caregivers of each equipment [after 3 months of using the Hospi'Senior room]
User experience of each equipment is assessed by meCUE module 1 (5 items)
- Safety aspect of "mobility" and "lighting" equipment [at the end of hospitalization, an average of 9 days]
Safety aspect is assessed by QUEST (Quebec User Evaluation of Satisfaction with assistive Technology) scale for patients and informal caregivers
- Safety aspect of "mobility" and "lighting" equipment [after 3 months of using the Hospi'Senior room]
Safety aspect is assessed by QUEST scale for caregivers
- Felt affects by caregivers [after 3 months of using the Hospi'Senior room]
Felt affects are assessed by PANAS (Positive And Negative Affect Schedule) scale (20 items)
