Behavioral Perspectives toward Hand Hygiene Promotion

Infection & Chemotherapy, 2014
Although hand hygiene (HH) is widely accepted as the most effective measure for preventing cross-infection in healthcare setting, overall compliance remains poor among health care workers (HCWs). The last 30 years have demonstrated a growing interest in many interventions determining effective strategies to enhance HH compliance.

Determinants of oral hygiene behavior in the Dominican Republic

International Dental Journal, 2011
The aim of this study was to identify predictors of oral hygiene behavior based on the theory of planned behavior among dental care seekers in the Dominican Republic. In addition, measures of oral health knowledge and the expected social outcomes of having healthy teeth were examined.In this cross-sectional study, 92 participants, who were visited by ...

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

A State‐Adaptive Koopman Control Framework for Real‐Time Deformable Tool Manipulation in Robotic Environmental Swabbing

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a state‐adaptive Koopman linear quadratic regulator framework for real‐time manipulation of a deformable swab tool in robotic environmental sampling. By combining Koopman linearization, tactile sensing, and centroid‐based force regulation, the system maintains stable contact forces and high coverage across flat and inclined surfaces.
