Implementation of the Qwiek.embrace: a step-by-step guide

Learn how to use the Qwiek.embrace for optimal comfort and relaxation. Discover how to tailor the experience to the personal wishes and needs of the care recipient.

Gather information with family members or colleagues about the sound preferences of the person you'll be using the Qwiek.embrace with. This includes their favorite music, calming sounds, or specific tones that provide comfort.

If possible, clearly note these preferences in the care plan so that every colleague can respond to them and the experience aligns as closely as possible with the person's wishes.

First, check if the Qwiek.embrace is fully charged. For instructions, refer to the relevant article.

Step 1

Ensure the care recipient is comfortably seated in a chair or lying in bed. Make sure their seating or lying position provides ample support for their back, neck, and legs, allowing the person to fully relax.

Step 2

Place the Qwiek.embrace on the care recipient’s lap with the pouch facing forward. Check that the Qwiek.embrace is comfortable and fits snugly against the body for an optimal sensory experience. Ask the person to place both hands in the pouch for a sense of security and safety. If the care recipient is unable to place their hands in the pouch themselves, assist them in a calm manner.

Step 3

Turn on the Qwiek.embrace by pressing the play button on the control panel. Then, select the desired playlist that suits the care recipient's preferences and needs. When selecting the playlist, take into account any recommendations from the care plan or input from family members and colleagues. Adjust the volume to a comfortable level and briefly inform the person about what they will hear, making the experience feel familiar and inviting.

Step 4

Observe the care recipient’s reaction while using the Qwiek.embrace so you can optimize the intervention for the next time it's used. Pay attention to signs of relaxation, engagement, or restlessness. Discuss your findings with colleagues and, where possible, immediately note any relevant insights in the care file. This ensures the approach can be optimally tailored to the person's personal needs and experience each time it is used.
