What are the benefits of using a toilet aid in the hospital?

​

The benefits to both the hospitals and their patients who receive a personal hygiene tool while the patient is in the hospital are:

• Patient's ability to remain independent

• Improved emotional well-being of the patient

• Potential for shortened rehabilitation time for the patient

• Reduced stress for caregiver and receiver

• Improved patient and staff relationship

• Improved patient outcome

• Reduction of infections

• Reduce re-admittance due to urological infections 

 

Being able to easily take care of one’s personal hygiene can help reduce the risks of complications after surgery due to overextending and limit the risk of getting an UTI infection and being readmitted into the hospital. A study that was conducted by Medicare, Workmen’s Compensation, and National Inpatient Sample (NIS) study showed the complications that could arise after spine surgery. The results that they found were that 9.18% of the 1,591 patients contracted an urological issue and out of that 9.18%, 5.5% were UTI issues.³ 

Understanding hygiene care after spinal or hip surgery is important in reducing infections and the overall patient's emotional well-being. Toilet aids or other hygiene aids offered in hospitals would benefit both the hospital and the patient.
