PERANCANGAN KONSEP TEMPAT TIDUR RUMAH SAKIT MEMPERTIMBANGKAN PROSES PEMINDAHAN PASIEN (STUDI KASUS: RUMAH SAKIT ”ZZZ” DI SURAKARTA)

Abstract

Manual patient bed transfer is still bringing in a problem for nurses and also for patients when
the nursing moves  from or to wards in hospital, especially in a nursing with surgery. For the
nurses, it can lead to low back pain because they must bow when they lift and move the patient
body. For the patients, the transfer process can definitely cause body movement which  can
cause inconvenience, for example for a patient with a physical trauma. Therefore, it would be
very helpfull if there is something which can change the traditional technique of patient
transfer. The objective of this study is to design a concept of interchangeable hospital bed
mattresses.The first step of this study is the problem analysis to the patient transfer process
and the beds they currently use. This activity was begins trough observation, direct
interrogation, and the deployment of Nordic Body Map equiped questionaire. After the analysis
showed the ponits of the problem, there can be developed a bed design concepts with their
fitures which can accommodate requirements of the process, encompass the nurses’
anthropometry based bed dimension, the bed mechanical mechanisms, and some supporting
fitures. The result of this study are concepts of both hospital wards bed and transit bed which
theoretically can eliminate the nurses low back pain. The transfer is enabled with
interchangeable mattress slide mechanisms with remote locks to ensure the effectivity and the
safety of the process. The transit bed is designed with light costruction and remote brake
equiped handle to increase its mobility and  handling.
