Description

  The present invention has a function of holding a patient or an elderly person lying on the bed in a lateral position to perform care such as diaper exchange performed on a bed on which a mattress is laid in medical and nursing care. The present invention relates to a conversion tool and a posture change method.

  Diaper changing work is usually carried out by two people at a medical site and a nursing site. This is because it is necessary to expose the buttocks of the patient etc. in order to exchange the diaper of the patient or elderly person (hereinafter referred to as the patient etc.) sleeping in the bed, so that the patient etc. is held in the lateral position This is because one person needs to support the patient or the like in the lateral position and the other person needs to change the diaper of the patient or the like or clean the buttock. However, during night shifts, it may be necessary for the caregiver to change the diaper alone. In that case, support the patient's body with one hand and change the diaper or wipe the buttocks with the other hand. This will increase the burden on the caregiver. This is particularly noticeable when a small caregiver performs diaper conversion for a patient having a large physique. Therefore, in order to reduce the burden on the caregiver who performs the diaper changing work, the following posture changing tools have been proposed.

  As a posture changing tool for supporting a patient or the like in a lateral position, Patent Document 1 discloses a flexible piece of paper in which a posture holding belt protrudes from four corners and a locking bracket is provided at the tip of the posture holding belt. A posture change tool formed of a sheet is disclosed. This posture changing tool is previously laid on the mattress of the bed, and the patient or the like is lying on it. When changing the diaper of a patient or the like, the patient or the like is turned sideways, the locking bracket of one posture holding belt is directly fixed to the bed body, and the locking bracket of the other posture holding belt is fixed to the side of the bed. By fixing to the side rail, the patient or the like is held in a lateral position.

  Further, in Patent Document 2, three sheets are connected by a connecting band, and a posture holding belt is provided at both ends of the sheet in a direction parallel to the connecting direction, and a posture change is provided by providing a locking bracket on the posture holding belt. An auxiliary device is disclosed. Place this posture change assisting device on the bed mattress in advance and fix one of the brackets of the posture holding belt to the bed body and the other to the side rails on the side of the bed to position the patient in a lateral position. It comes to hold in. At this time, the first sheet contacts the back of the patient, the second sheet contacts the buttocks of the patient, and the third sheet contacts the thigh of the patient. When only the body posture holding belt of the seat is removed, the buttocks of the patient or the like can be exposed while the patient or the like is held in the lateral position, whereby the caregiver can change the diaper by one person.

  Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a care sheet in which a pair of sheets are engaged with a fastener so as to be opened and closed, and an index belt is attached to an edge portion of each sheet. The care sheet is laid on the mattress of the bed in advance, and the index belt of each sheet is fixed to the side rail on the side of the bed, thereby holding the patient or the like in the lateral position. At this time, each sheet is in contact with the back and buttocks of a patient or the like, and each sheet is engaged by a fastener. From this state, the seat that contacts the buttocks of the patient is separated from the seat that contacts the back of the patient by opening the fastener, and only the index belt of the seat that contacts the buttocks is removed from the side rail on the side of the bed. Thus, the patient's buttocks are exposed while the patient or the like is held in the lateral position by the sheet that contacts the back, so that the caregiver can perform diaper exchange alone.

It is difficult to insert the posture changing aid under the body of a patient or the like who is already lying on the bed mattress. For this reason, it is necessary to lay this position conversion assisting device under the body of the patient or the like in advance. However, since this position conversion assisting device exists under the body of the patient or the like, the sleeping comfort is poor and the patient If there is a pressure ulcer symptom, etc., there is a risk that this pressure ulcer site will be muggy. In addition, when trying to take out the position change assisting tool from under the patient etc. to wash this position change assisting tool, it rubs the pressure ulcer part of the patient etc. and breaks the gauze treating the pressure ulcer part, There is a risk of further damaging the pressure ulcer site.

  Furthermore, in Patent Document 1, a plurality of annular bodies are provided on the body posture holding belt, and the substantial length of the body posture holding belt can be adjusted by selecting an annular body into which the locking metal fitting is inserted. Because the number of annular bodies is limited, it is difficult to fine-tune the length of the body position holding belt to the optimum length for holding the patient etc. in the lateral position, the patient's body position and the side of the bed side There is a risk that the gap between the rail and the patient becomes narrow, and the patient or the like may have a cramped posture.

  Moreover, in patent document 2 and 3, since several sheet | seats are connected with the connection belt | band | zone or the fastener, it is difficult to match | combine with the physiques of various patients. And the posture change tool in this patent document 2 and 3 is large so that the sheet | seat connected with the connection belt | band | zone or fastener in the posture change tool may cover substantially the whole body similarly to the posture change auxiliary tool of patent document 1. Since the posture changing tool is provided with a plurality of belts and fixing brackets, it is difficult to insert the posture changing tool under the body of a patient or the like who is already lying on the mattress. For this reason, it is necessary to lay the posture change tool in Patent Documents 2 and 3 in advance under the patient or the like in the same manner as the posture change assisting tool in Patent Document 1. Due to the presence of the posture change tool, it is not comfortable to sleep, and if the patient has pressure ulcer symptoms, the pressure ulcer region may become stuffy.

  Moreover, in patent document 3, the fastener which engages two sheets is provided in the posture change tool (care sheet) laid under the patient etc., and this fastener is a pressure ulcer site | part of a patient etc. There is a risk of hurting. Furthermore, when trying to take out the posture changing tool from under the patient or the like in order to wash the posture changing tool in Patent Documents 2 and 3, the gauze treating the pressure ulcer part by rubbing the pressure ulcer part of the patient or the like. May damage the pressure ulcer site or damage the pressure ulcer. In Patent Document 2, as in Patent Document 1 described above, a plurality of annular bodies for adjusting the length are provided on the body position holding belt, and the substantial length of the body position holding belt is determined depending on the position of the annular body into which the locking metal fitting is inserted. Although it is configured to be able to change the height, it is difficult to finely adjust the length of the body position holding belt to the optimum length for holding the patient or the like in the lateral position. On the other hand, in Patent Document 3, a length adjuster is provided at the end of the index belt provided on the care sheet, and the length of the index belt can be finely adjusted. As described above, it becomes difficult to insert the care sheet under the body of a patient or the like who is already lying on the mattress as described above.

  The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and does not need to be laid on a bed mattress in advance, and is inserted under the body of a patient or the like when diaper replacement or treatment of the patient or the like is necessary.

Has been.

  Next, a posture changing method using the posture changing tool according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described. 2 to 7 are perspective views showing a posture change method according to the embodiment of the present invention. First, as shown in FIG. 2, the posture changer 1a is placed between the shoulder 11a and the mattress 12 and between the thigh 11b and the mattress 12 of the patient 11 or the like who is lying on the mattress 12 of the bed. And 1b are inserted so that the width direction of the patient 11 and the like and the longitudinal direction of the body posture changing tools 1a and 1b are parallel to each other. At this time, the body posture changing tools 1a and 1b are folded at a folding position 6 in the longitudinal direction of the belt-like sheet 2 as shown in FIG. The caregiver's hand is inserted into the inner part of the folded posture changing tools 1a and 1b, and the caregiver's hand is inserted between the patient 11 and the mattress 12 in this state, and the posture is changed. The tools 1a and 1b are placed under the patient 11 or the like.

  At the time of inserting the posture changing tools 1a and 1b, the posture changing tools 1a and 1b have a belt or a metal fitting that becomes an obstacle when the posture changing tools 1a and 1b are inserted between the patient 11 and the mattress 12, for example. Since it is the belt-like sheet 2 that is not provided, the caregiver can easily insert the posture changing tools 1a and 1b under the body of the patient 11 or the like. Furthermore, since the posture changing tools 1a and 1b are folded, the surface that contacts the patient 11 and the surface that contacts the mattress 12 are both surfaces 8 made of slippery cloth. As a result, the posture changing tools 1a and 1b and the patient 11 and the mattress 12 are slippery. Therefore, when inserting the posture changing tools 1a and 1b, the caregiver puts the posture changing tools 1a and 1b into the patient 11 and the mattress 12. Can be inserted while sliding. In this embodiment, when the caregiver changes the diaper while holding the patient 11 or the like while holding the patient 11 or the like, it is necessary to expose the buttocks of the patient 11 or the like. It lays under the shoulder 11a and thigh 11b of the patient 11 while avoiding the buttocks of the patient 11 or the like.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the caregiver lays the posture changing tools 1a and 1b under the body of the patient 11 and the like, and the handle 5b provided on the belt-like sheet 2 is placed on the posture changing tools 1a and 1 of the patient 11 and the like. By pulling from the opposite side of the 1b insertion side, the posture changing tools 1a and 1b can be laid under the body of the patient 11 or the like without becoming wrinkles. And the direction which is contacting the patient etc. 11 of the turned posture changing tools 1a and 1b is taken out from the opposite side of the posture changing tools 1a and 1b insertion side of the patients etc. 11. Thereby, the state where the posture changing tools 1a and 1b are folded back is eliminated, the slippery surface 8 is in contact with the mattress 12, and the slippery surface 7 is in contact with the patient 11 or the like. As a result, when the posture changing tools 1a and 1b are pulled to move the patient 11 on the mattress 12, as will be described later, the posture changing tools 1a and 1b are slippery with respect to the mattress 12 and the patient 11 and the like. Since the posture changing tools 1a and 1b do not come out from under the body of the patient or the like 11, the patient or the like 11 also moves together with the movement of the posture changing tools 1a and 1b. Moreover, since the posture changing tools 1a and 1b are laid under the shoulder 11a and the thigh 11b of the patient 11 and the like, and are not laid under the buttocks, Since the pressure ulcer site does not get steamed and the pressure ulcer site of the patient or the like is not rubbed, the gauze treating the pressure ulcer site is not broken or the pressure ulcer site is not further damaged.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the posture changing tools 1a and 1b are pulled to move the position of the patient 11 on the mattress 12 to the opposite side of the posture changing tools 1a and 1b insertion side of the patient 11 (in FIG. 4). , Indicated by white arrows). When the distance between the patient 11 or the like and the side rail 13 installed on the side portion of the bed on the insertion side of the patient 11 such as the patient 11 is set to the lateral position as will be described later. The distance is adjusted so that the patient 11 does not become cramped.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 5, a method for converting the body position of the patient 11 or the like from the supine position to the lateral position will be described. The posture changing tools 1a and 1b taken out on the opposite side of the posture changing tools 1a and 1b of the patient 11 or the like are put on the caretaker's hand in the handle hole 4 on the taken-out side, and the posture changing tools 1a and 1b are put on the bed. The posture changing tools 1a and 1b are further pulled to the insertion side of the posture changing tools 1a and 1b of the patient 11 or the like. Thereby, the patient etc. 11 who is supine rotates 90 degree | times toward the body posture change tools 1a and 1b insertion side of the patient etc. 11 with the posture changing tools 1a and 1b, and is in a lateral position. In this way, when the caregiver pulls the posture changing tools 1a and 1b, the caregiver's hand is put on the handle hole 4, so that the caregiver's hand can easily apply force and the caregiver can change the posture with little force. The tools 1a and 1b can be pulled. Thereby, even when a small caregiver changes the position of a patient 11 or the like having a large physique, the burden on the caregiver can be reduced.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the posture change of the patient 11 or the like is performed using the fixing portion 3 provided on the posture change tool 1 a or 1 b taken out on the opposite side to the insertion side of the posture change tool 1 a or 1 b of the patient or the like. The posture changing tools 1a and 1b are fixed to the side rail 13 on the side of the bed on the tools 1a and 1b insertion side. Thereby, the caregiver can hold the patient etc. 11 in the lateral position without supporting the patient etc. 11. At this time, the patient 11 or the like 11 is held in the lateral position by the body position changing tool 1 of the shoulder 11a and the thigh 11b, and the buttocks of the patient 11 etc. are exposed, so even when there is only one caregiver This caregiver can exchange diapers with both hands.

  In the present embodiment, the posture changing tools 1a and 1b are fixed to the side rail 13 on the side of the bed. For example, when an assistance bar is provided on the side of the bed, the posture is changed to the assistance bar. The tools 1a and 1b may be fixed. Furthermore, since this fixing | fixed part 3 has a softness | flexibility, there is no possibility of being caught on the patient 11 etc. like a metal fitting, and damaging the body of the patient 11 etc., and a caregiver can change the posture changing tools 1a and 1b to the side rail 13 or the assistance bar. There is no fear of pinching your fingers when fixing. Furthermore, since the fixing part 3 has a rectangular shape that is long in the longitudinal direction of the belt-like sheet 2 and short in the width direction of the belt-like sheet 2 as described above, the fixing part 3 is wound around the side rail 13 and attached. When this sticking position is adjusted in the longitudinal direction of the belt-like sheet 2, the length of the posture changing tools 1 a and 1 b is optimal for holding the lateral position of the patient 11 according to the posture of the patient 11, etc. While finely adjusting the length, it can be adjusted to a position where the caregiver can easily care for the patient or the like.

  Moreover, since this fixing | fixed part 3 is provided in the both ends of the longitudinal direction of the posture changing tools 1a and 1b, as mentioned above, it took out to the opposite side of the posture changing tools 1a and 1b insertion side of patients 11 etc. Using the fixing portions 3 of the posture changing tools 1a and 1b, not only fixing the posture changing tools 1a and 1b to the side rail 13 on the side of the bed on the insertion side of the posture changing tools 1a and 1b of the patient 11 or the like. Using the fixing portion 3 of the posture changing tools 1a and 1b opposite to the taken-out side, the posture changing tool 1a is attached to the side rail 13 on the side of the bed opposite to the insertion side of the posture changing tools 1a and 1b of the patient 11 or the like. And 1b can be fixed. Thereby, the caregiver who cares for the posture changing tools 1a and 1b of the patient 11 holds the patient 11 in the lateral position on the posture changing tools 1a and 1b insertion side of the patient 11 In addition to exchanging the diaper of the patient, etc., the patient etc. 11 is held in the lateral position on the opposite side to the insertion side of the posture changing tools 1a and 1b of the patient 11 etc. it can.

  Further, in the above method of use, the diaper is exchanged while maintaining the lateral position on the shoulder 11a and the thigh 11b, but the diaper is removed by removing the body position changer 1b of the thigh 11b as shown in FIG. Exchanges may be made. Thus, by removing the posture changing tool 1b of the thigh 11b, the field of view near the buttocks adjacent to the thigh is widened, so that the caregiver can easily change the diaper. At this time, by moving the removed posture changing tool 1b to the vicinity of the buttocks of the patient 11 or the like, the mattress portion on which the posture changing tool 1b is laid is not contaminated in the diaper changing work. If it is made of a material that can be washed, even if the postural change tool 1 is soiled when changing the diaper, the postural change tool 1 may be washed.

  As described above, since the posture changing tool 1 according to the present invention is the belt-like sheet 2 that does not have a belt or a metal fitting or the like, this posture is placed under the body of the patient 11 or the like already lying on the mattress 12. There is no obstacle when the conversion tool 1 is inserted, and the posture change tool 1 can be easily inserted under the body of the patient 11 or the like. Thereby, it is not necessary to lay this posture changing tool 1 on the mattress 12 in advance, and when the diaper of the patient 11 or the like needs to be replaced or treated, it is inserted under the body of the patient 11 to change the posture of the patient 11 or the like. It can be performed.
