Overview

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.

Description

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 on the ward.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 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.
  • Patient able to understand the protocol.
  • Patient having given oral non-opposition to participate.
  • Patient who has received the study information note.
  • Patient who had never participated in this study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with cognitive impairment preventing objective pain assessment or with neurological pathologies.
  • Patients under guardianship, curatorship or safeguard of justice.
