The project “We will give advice” is a very good educational tool, which has various forms adapted to the needs of different audiences. These are workshops, website, instructional videos that show the most difficult steps step by step. In the tabs of the educational platform, we can find answers to new and emerging problems faced by carers of the elderly.
Difficulties in caring for seniors
Workshops as part of the action “We will advise” are constructed on the basis of the most important and most difficult elements to care for, such as the organization of space in the patient’s home, but also showing certain skills that are needed on a daily basis when performing basic care and hygiene activities, such as a toilet of the whole body, change of diaper pants, toilet of intimate parts, washing the head.
Change of diaper pants contrary to appearances, it is not that simple. In terms of anti-bedsore prophylaxis it is not that simple and obvious. First, the degree of urinary incontinence should be determined and an appropriate absorbent product should be selected. Then you need to assess the physical condition of our sick person. The third element is size, i.e. not buying diapers “by eye”, because it may turn out that they will be too large and will leak or will be too small, which will result in chafing.
How to put on a diaper pants?
Take the diaper jacket out of its packaging, unfold it and straighten it. We activate it – the diaper pants then take on an anatomical shape – then it is ready to be put on by the patient. We put it on skillfully, make sure that the side covers are well placed, so that they do not knead anywhere, and that the diaper is well fastened. Then we secure the patient in the right position.
Workshops are held in each province. During each of them, the questions will be answered by a trained professional, someone who has extensive professional experience and the ability to conduct such workshops. You can check the dates and locations of the workshops on the website: damy-rade.info
