Paper Abstract:
|
Patients in long-term treatment due to accidents, disasters, or disease often feel lonely and have more of a sense of loss in inorganic spaces such as sickrooms than people being currently treated. This study therefore involves a proposition of a framework that supports the chance for those long-term patients to talk about each other's fond memories when they meet during their treatment. To invoke communication with others recuperating by passing on information to each other via the nurses in charge, the system offers fond memories of a common topic and thus offers information that enables the chance of making a self-introduction for the user. The expectation is that mutual understanding can be deepened via that support between patients, patients and nurses, patients and other patients, and patients and doctors. Moreover, it could support the creation of better interpersonal relationships within hospitals. |
