Design of a prototype of clothing for older persons with neurocognitive diseases with behavioural troubles interfering with the management of sphincter disorders.

Introduction: The evolution of neurocognitive diseases is marked by increasingly disruptive behavioural disorders as well as sphincter troubles. To avoid being forced to use physical restraints or therapies that promote drowsiness to prevent older patients from removing their diapers, caregivers can...

      ab: Introduction: The evolution of neurocognitive diseases is marked by increasingly disruptive behavioural disorders as well as sphincter troubles. To avoid being forced to use physical restraints or therapies that promote drowsiness to prevent older patients from removing their diapers, caregivers can use a onesie. However, this solution does not respect the dignity of these persons. Objectives: To design a prototype of onesie that will be aesthetically pleasing as daytime clothing, with features that simplify its use by professional caregivers and respect the dignity of older adults with neurocognitive diseases. Methodology: A randomized open trial was conducted comparing the prototype of onesie that was developed to a classic onesie. The degree of respect for the dignity of these older adults was rated as well acceptability and reliability of the two onesies and a satisfaction survey among caregivers was carried out using a derived questionnaire from the ITHACA project. Results: The final version of the prototype was a onesie resembling to a clothing adapted for day wear and allowing caregivers to quickly change persons with restricted participation. Forty subjects were included. No difference was found in the dignity ratings assigned by their relatives. The caregiver satisfaction survey showed that they thought the prototype respected the dignity of the subjects but that the use of the classic onesie made the work easier. Conclusion: Our prototype of onesie allowed a better usability by caregivers, was better accepted than a classic model of onesie while respecting the dignity of older adults with neurocognitive diseases. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION: We developed a prototype of a onesie to look like daytime wear for older persons presenting neurocognitive diseases with behavioral troubles and sphincter disorders with features that simplify its use by professional caregivers and respect the dignity of patients.
