Tokyo, Sept. 21 -- UMIN Clinical Trials Registry (UMIN-CTR) received information related to the study (UMIN000062998) titled 'Nursing research on the prevention of self-removal of intravenous drips and tubes by older people with cognitive decline' on Sept. 20.

Study Type: Interventional

Study Design: Basic Design - Cross-over Randomization - Randomized Blinding - Open -no one is blinded Control - No treatment

Primary Sponsor: Institute - Chiba University

Condition: Condition - Risk of self-removal among older people with cognitive decline Classification by malignancy - Others Genomic information - NO

Objective: Narrative objectives1 - With a view to minimizing the use of physical restraints on older people with cognitive impairment, this study evaluates the use of a contact detection system by clinical nurses and examines the potential for the removal of physical restraints through the use of this system. Basic objectives2 - Safety,Efficacy

Intervention: Interventions/Control_1 - Participating nurses will be asked to use the contact detection system for approximately three months. We will compare the occurrence and duration of physical restraint removal between the group using the system and the group not using it (control_2). We will also evaluate the system's detection rate, failure rate and number of false alarms, as well as the nurses' perceptions of the system. Interventions/Control_2 - Control group. This group will be monitored for approximately three months, without the use of a contact detection system, to determine whether physical restraints have been removed.

Eligibility: Age-lower limit - Not applicable Age-upper limit - Not applicable Gender - Male and Female Key inclusion criteria - Ward nurses Those who have been briefed on the study and have obtained the patient's consent. Those who have been briefed on the system and are able to use it.
