About this trial
The hypothesis is that the current bedpan is not adapted to the diversity of patients encountered. It is necessary to collect the opinions of patients themselves on the current pool in different departments in order to validate our hypothesis.
The objective is to evaluate pain in patients with reduced or very reduced mobility caused by the bedpan currently used in current practice through an observational study.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patient of legal age (age ≥ 18 years).
Patient with reduced and very reduced mobility, bedridden requiring the use of a bedpan.
Estimated length of hospital stay on the ward ≥ 2 days.
Patient affiliated to a social security system.
Disqualifiers
Patients with cognitive impairment preventing objective pain assessment or with neurological pathologies.
Patients under guardianship, curatorship or safeguard of justice.
Trial population
Patients with reduced or severely reduced mobility, over 18 years of age, bedridden and requiring the use of a bedpan, estimated hospitalization equal to or greater than 2 days.
Trial design
Case-only
Prospective
Treatments tested in this trial
Questioning the patient during hygiene care
Other interventionThe study examines how patients and caregivers feel when using the bedpan. Over the course of a day, collecting all this information would take just under 7 minutes. Over the duration of patient participation (2 days), we estimate that it would take a total of 15 minutes per patient to collect this information. The objectives are focused on pain and discomfort, and on the alteration of the (patient's) skin condition through objective observation of redness or stage I pressure sores by the caregiver.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Assessment of pain in a patient with reduced or very reduced mobility when using a bedpan.
Pain will be assessed using a numerical pain scale (EN). The caregiver will ask the patient to rate his or her pain between 0 (no pain) and 10 (the most intense pain imaginable).
Secondary outcomes
Assess the proportion of patients with a MCID of the pain felt by the patient in pre-installation > 1.3
Assess the maximum pain felt by the patient pre/post and per/post use of the bedpan.
Pain will be assessed using a numerical pain scale (EN). The caregiver will ask the patient to rate his or her pain between 0 (no pain) and 10 (the most intense pain imaginable).
Assess patient discomfort on the bedpan
discomfort will be defined by the addition of a cushion, rolled towel, treatment oil or the need for the bedpan to be repositioned
Assess alteration of skin condition at the seat of the patient using the bedpan
Appearance of stage I redness or pressure sores (redness that does not disappear) on the patient's seat, after using the bedpan
