Abstract：
Child impeding packs are difficult for children to open so protect them from unintended access to hazardous contents inside the pack. However, if packs are difficult for adults to open, in normal usage scenarios, this may result in a higher occurrence of packs being left open. This research explores differences in ease of usage and closure compliance between two types of child impeding packs of liquid laundry detergent capsules. The two packs, \"Pinch & Lift\" and \"Press & Lift\", had different opening and closing mechanisms. \"Press & Lift\" also included an audible \"click\" signal to confirm complete closure to the user. The research was performed across two studies. In both studies, the packs were used in participants\' homes according to their usual storage and usage practices as replacements to their current liquid laundry detergent capsule pack. All participants had small children living with them in their household. In Study 1, self-reported closure and ease of use data was collected from 99 adult participants in Germany. They used each package in their home for 10 days. Study 2 extended Study 1 by measuring closure rates with an objective assessment using in pack sensors for a 10-day period for each pack. Self-reported closure and ease of use data were also collected. Study 2 was conducted with 87 participants in the United Kingdom. Results across both studies showed \"Press & Lift\" with the audible \"Click\" close signal to be rated by participants to be significantly easier to open and close and have a higher self-reported closure rate than \"Pinch & Lift\". In addition, Study 2 results demonstrated higher closure rates using \"Press & Lift\" based on the sensor-measured closure compliance. Together, the results suggest transition to a pack with a mechanism that is child impeding and easier for an adult to use with an audible closure signal, like the \"Press & Lift\" system, has potential to reduce child access to a capsule from a pack by reducing the likelihood of the pack being left open by the adult user. Ultimately, such packs could protect children from potential poisoning injury across a range of consumer products.
摘要：
儿童阻碍包对儿童来说难以打开,因此保护他们免于意外地接触包内的危险内容物。然而,如果成年人很难打开包装，在正常使用场景中，这可能会导致更高的发生率的包被打开。这项研究探讨了两种类型的儿童阻碍液体衣物洗涤剂胶囊包装之间在易用性和封闭依从性方面的差异。这两个包，“捏合并抬起”和“按下并抬起”，有不同的打开和关闭机制。“按下并抬起”还包括声音“单击”信号，以确认用户完全关闭。这项研究是在两项研究中进行的。在两项研究中，根据参与者通常的储存和使用习惯，这些包装被用于他们的家庭，作为他们目前的液体衣物洗涤剂胶囊包装的替代品。所有参与者都有年幼的孩子和他们住在一起。在研究1中，从德国的99名成年参与者收集了自我报告的封闭和易用性数据。他们在家中使用每个包裹10天。研究2扩展了研究1，通过使用包装内传感器对每个包装进行10天的客观评估来测量闭合率。还收集了自我报告的关闭和易用性数据。研究2在英国有87名参与者。两项研究的结果表明，与“Pinch＆Lift”相比，“Pinch＆Lift”带有听得见的“Click”关闭信号的参与者评分明显更容易打开和关闭，并且自我报告的关闭率更高。此外,研究2结果表明，使用基于传感器测量的闭合合规性的“按压和提升”，闭合率更高。一起,结果表明，过渡到具有儿童阻碍的机制的包装，并且成人更容易使用声音闭合信号，如“按下并抬起”系统，有可能通过减少成年用户打开包装的可能性来减少儿童从包装中接触胶囊。最终,这种包装可以保护儿童免受一系列消费品的潜在中毒伤害。
