According to surveys, nurse assistants are prone to occupational injuries, which is one of the main reasons for labor shortages and low motivation for employment in the field. At present, nurse assistants still mainly work directly with their hands. The use of assistive technology to help in care is still not common in actual on-site work. However, making good use of assistive technology to replace manual labor can be incredibly helpful to reduce the workloads of nurse assistants and prevent occupational musculoskeletal disease. Therefore, the Institute of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health (ILOSH), Ministry of Labor has produced Education and Training Materials on the Use of Assistive Technology for Nurse Assistants to help them effectively use such technology to reduce their workload.

The Education and Training Materials on the Use of Assistive Technology for Nurse Assistants compiled by ILOSH contains text and audio-visual content. In addition to providing nurse assistants with information on protection from labor laws under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, it also offers more comprehensive occupational safety and health protection for nurse assistants in long-term care institutions, helping prevent occupational hazards. Furthermore, it includes suggestions on the practicality and feasibility of assistive technology use by nurse assistants. It also aligns with the national long-term care policy, serving as a basis for guiding long-term care institutions in the implementation of work safety protection measures for workers, in the hopes of creating a friendly and dignified working environment.
