Ms. Shi, a female patient with mild moderate wind, was assisted by medical staff during hospitalization. She continued to treat her health care after being discharged from the hospital. She always showed anxiety during the shower, because she was in a small bathroom and the floor was slippery, so she had to be very careful during the washing process and slippery, and she was embarrassed to ask her family for help. Although my walking ability is not great, I cannot wash my calves while standing and scrub my feet. Especially when I take shower gel and hair semen, I am more careful when I change my body's center of gravity, and I can hardly enjoy the bathing time relaxation. After the family put a bath chair, the situation of impatient standing has improved a lot. Sitting while bathing can ensure stability, reduce the pressure on the waist, legs, and knees, and avoid accidentally falling during the shower. More importantly, reduce the burden on the light caregiver. After Ms. Shi replaced the standing position with a sitting position, she reduced the chance of falling and the damage, and she no longer had to worry about taking a bath!
As the saying goes, "The most dangerous place is the safest place." On the contrary, the safest place may also cause people to lose their guard and ignore potential risks. Wash away the fatigue of the day and relax your bathroom. If you don’t plan and store it carefully, it will become a place where accidents are prone to happen.
The long-term cannot rise or fall. Once it slips or falls, the high chance of causing joint fractures, pressure fractures and head injuries. Later, I am afraid of falling again and reducing my activity. As a result, muscle loss is more serious, forming a vicious cycle. For patients with physical inconvenience and medium-stylish style, if the bathroom is not well designed, it will become the most dangerous space!
Bathroom selection is very important for flooring! Easy dry, anti-slip and wear-resistant materials are the first choice, especially the anti-slip effect. With anti-slip tiles, the number of surface friction can be increased. Because old bathrooms have been used for a long time, the gaps in the tiles are prone to mold and moss. Sometimes they are not visible to the naked eye. When your feet step on the corner of the water, they will slip. In addition to choosing materials carefully, remember to regularly brush the bathroom floor to clear the mold moss and scale.
【Check Door Point】The entrance and exit of the bathroom door are equipped to prevent water from overflowing. Simple lifting of foot crossing may be difficult for the long run, or it may fall due to poor vision and uncoordinated feet. Dry separation will also be equipped with doors. In this way, the bathroom will have at least two problems with height difference. You have to raise your feet and step in and out at any time in a small space, which will become a potential risk factor for falling. It can be replaced by a trough instead of the door, or a bath can be used to prevent water from flying, and it can also achieve dry separation.
【Check the wire】When the bathroom wire design is poor, many people will install a rack or directly stack items on the ground. Walking or moving your body can easily cause collision and fall risks. Especially when placing the bathing supplies on the floor, it not only prevents the floor from drying, but some liquids drip out, making the floor smoother. Grasp one principle: place the shelves within reach so that the bathroom will not be dampened by walking and picking up items.
Lin Dailing shared that to solve the problem of moisture in the bathroom, the wind or blowing equipment should be turned on after bathing. If there is no external window, use wiper and water absorption tools to remove moisture and accelerate drying of the ground. For the parts that prevent slipping, you can apply anti-slip strips or smear anti-slip agents, and choose tiles with better anti-slip capabilities. It is also a good choice to place a shower chair in the bathroom, so you can sit in the shower to avoid slipping or falling.
You can't take a shower lightly when you are cold. You can't rush to remove clothes and drain hot water. The continuous steps will make the blood vessels relax and the blood pressure drop and the head will be irritated. Lin Dailing recommends that the bathroom air circulate first, and it can also strengthen the warmer. During the bathing process, there is a chair to help provide stability for sitting up and moving, which is safe and comfortable. You don’t have to worry about the center of gravity running away when washing your head, foot, or body. Sitting while taking a bath helps your feet, no longer practicing "golden chicken independence" and telling you to stand for a long time and get hurt!
