[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a care aid for use when changing diapers or cleaning the body of a patient such as a bedridden elderly person who has limited physical freedom, and particularly to a care aid that can be suitably used for a patient in a rigid state.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 In recent years, the average life expectancy has dramatically improved due to the improvement of eating habits and the progress of medical technology, and the so-called aging society with a large number of elderly population is approaching. In such an aging society, there are various problems such as provision of a place of labor for healthy elderly people and provision of spiritual purpose, but the most important issue is to make the most of the surroundings by themselves. One of the problems is the so-called bedridden old man, who is not able to handle it.

Conventionally, such a bedridden old man is housed in a specialized medical institution or is cared for by the hands of family members at each home. In the care of such a physically handicapped patient, the most important problem is the disposal of excrement as well as the problems of eating and bathing, and the old-fashioned diapers are mainly used. This diaper change poses a particular back pain problem for caregivers in hard work, especially because of the weight in adults.

Therefore, the inventor of the present application has proposed a diaper exchanging aid for eliminating such problems as Japanese Patent Application No. 3-345283.

This assisting device includes a leg holding part arranged at the back of the patient's knee in a supine state, a traction device attached to the leg holding part for pulling up the leg obliquely upward, and a traction device supporting the traction device. It consists of a support stand that allows the bedridden patient to be changed into a diaper with a little force. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the labor of the caregiver and prevent the occurrence of back pain, and it is possible to replace the patient promptly, thereby significantly reducing the pain of the patient himself / herself.

[0006]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 However, this assistive device raises the knees of the patient on the back to the upper part of the body to raise the waist, and is used for patients with stiff body who cannot bend the knees and waist. Can not do it.

[0007] Also, when cleaning the back of a bedridden patient, etc., it is performed in a state of being turned over. However, a considerable amount of force is required especially for a patient with a large body, and as with the diaper changing work, a caregiver is required. Burden on

Therefore, the present invention solves the above-mentioned problems in the care of an elderly person, and is particularly suitable for changing diapers and cleaning the back of patients who have a rigid body, and is relatively easy. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a care aid that is a simple device and that significantly reduces the labor of the caregiver.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 The present invention is a care aid used to turn over a patient, such as a bedridden elderly person, who cannot move freely, and is a sheet-like member that is placed on the lower surface of the lower back of the patient in a supine position and substantially covers the lower back of the patient. It is characterized by comprising a body and a turning bar for turning over, which is detachably attached to a side end portion of the sheet-like body.

Here, in addition to the above configuration, it is possible to further provide an auxiliary belt for attaching a bed, which is projected from both side end portions of the sheet-shaped body.

[0011]

[Action]

 By arranging the sheet-like body on the lower surface of the patient's lower back, a rolling bar for turning over is attached to one of the side ends of the sheet-like body when it is necessary to roll over, and this rotating bar is attached. Grip and rotate to wrap around the patient. As a result, the entire waist of the patient is rotated by the entire sheet-like body, and the posture can be moved from the supine position to the lateral position. Also, after the work is completed, removing the rotating bar does not interfere with sleeping.

At the time of rotation, since the entire waist is rotated by the sheet-shaped body, a concentrated load is not applied as in the case of manual work, and the patient can comfortably perform it. For example, if the size of the caregiver's hands is 300 cm ² with both hands and the force required for rotation is 30 kg, the pressing force per unit area by the caregiver's hands on the patient is 0.10 kg / 30 cm / 300 cm ^2. It becomes cm ² . In contrast, when the size of the sheet product and 35 cm × 40 cm, area of 1400 cm ^2, and the press pressure by the sheet-like member during rotation is 0.02 kg / cm ² next to 30 Kg / 1400 cm ^2, in the case of manual A pressure of 1/5 will suffice.

【Example】

 FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a nursing aid according to an embodiment of the present invention.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a sheet-like member, which is arranged on the lower surface of the waist of the patient in a supine state and has a size that substantially covers the waist of the patient. The material is not particularly limited, but cotton or synthetic fiber that is not bulky, has a predetermined strength, and can withstand washing is desirable. In addition, a net-like material can be used to prevent unevenness, especially in summer use.

A reinforcing belt 2 having a width of 3 cm is sewn in the longitudinal direction of the sheet-like body 1 at substantially the center thereof. Numeral 3 is an auxiliary belt having one end fixed to the four corners of the sheet-like body 1. The auxiliary belts are sewn together with the ends overlapped with the sheet-like body 1 for reinforcement, and overlapped at the four corners and both ends of the center. Is attached with a ring 4 for attaching a rotary bar, which will be described later. Reference numeral 5 denotes a turning bar for turning over, which is detachably attached to the ring 4 of the sheet-shaped body 1, and includes a bar-shaped bar body 6 and a hook 7.
