Study to Compare Safety and Satisfaction Using Manual vs. Device-Assisted Ampoule Opening Among Nurses

What this Trial Is About

Nurses often handle fragile glass ampoule bottles in their daily work, which can lead to hand injuries like cuts when opening them manually. These injuries can reduce work efficiency and increase health risks. This research aims to evaluate a patented ampoule peeling device, which has won the National Innovation Award, to see if it can improve safety and satisfaction for nurses during their tasks. The study is carried out in three phases. First, nurses will open different sizes of ampoule bottles manually and with the peeling device in a controlled setting, measuring time, safety, difficulty, success, and any hand injuries. Next, over ten days, participants will track their manual and device-assisted ampoule openings and related injuries. Finally, nurses can choose their preferred method for six months and complete a survey on usage frequency, safety, and satisfaction. Participants will record details such as injury events, time efficiency, and subjective safety over about one year. They will also evaluate ease of use, difficulty, and overall satisfaction. The study collects data through timed tasks, injury tracking, and questionnaires to assess whether the device offers improvements compared to manual opening methods.
