Toilet assistance may decrease urinary incontinence episodes among elderly. Many nursing home residents do not receive the available evidence-based toilet assistance they need. Aim: The aim of the present study was to describe nursing staff members’ experiences of providing toilet assistance to elderly nursing home residents with urinary incontinence. Design: A descriptive design with a qualitative content analysis method was used. Method: Four nurses and seven auxiliary nurses were interviewed in three homogenous focus groups. Data were collected during spring 2015. Results: The most essential opportunity factor for good toilet assistance was the nursing staff’s attitude and behavior regarding the elderly’s need to visit the lavatory. This resulted in individual toilet assistance in which the elderly’s integrity and needs were cared for. Functioning routines and sufficient staff availability were crucial in determining whether the elderly could visit the lavatory. Other enabling factors for good toilet assistance were information and education of staff. The main obstructing factors for good toilet assistance were the elderly’s decreased cognitive ability, negative attitudes toward receiving toilet assistance and lack of communication and co-operation between professionals with regard to prescribing and fastening individual incontinence aids. Conclusion: Providing toilet assistance is a considerable nursing intervention for elderly to help them regain continence or contain incontinence, whenever possible. Person-centered incontinence care is important for developing and adjusting toilet assistance based on each older person’s individual needs.展开更多

In order to solve the interconnection problem between the ZigBee network and the internet in the smart home, a wireless home gateway based on embedded is designed and implemented in this paper. The gateway is made up of the main controller S3C2440, the ZigBee module JN5148 and the Wi-Fi module VT6656. It is capable of converting Wi-Fi protocol data or ZigBee protocol data, and transmitting them to each other. The paper describes the design and implementation process of the gateway hardware and software, introduces the Wi-Fi protocol data and the ZigBee protocol data conversion method, and solve the bottleneck caused by the two protocol different transmission rates. Then the performance of the gateway is tested, and the results indicate that the performance is stable, and the Wi-Fi–ZigBee gateway is completely meeting the needs of the smart home.展开更多
