Differences Between the Three Methods of Placement Time, Repositioning Time, and Total Time
| Category | Traditional Over-Bed Method | Postural Trolley-Assisted Over-Bed Method | Direct Over-Bed Method | H | P |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Placement time* (min) | 4.80[4.38,5.27] | 1.48[1.32,1.73] | 1.55[1.42,1.71] | 87.36 | <0.001 |
| Repositioning time* (min) | 4.56[4.03,4.89] | 2.81[2.53,3.31] | 3.01[2.87,3.59] | 133.21 | <0.001 |
| Total time* (min) | 9.28[8.47,10.16] | 4.25[3.88,5.03] | 4.48[4.32,5.31] | 162.45 | <0.001 |
Notes: *None of them conformed to a normal distribution; there was an irregularity in the variance; therefore the Kruskal–Wallis test was used.
