Abstract:
We assessed the minimum knowledge requirements to be satisfied by care providers for the management of a hot bathing in general medicine.
Approximately 1.7% of outpatients questioned the propriety of hot bathing, and a greater percentage asked about the risks of hot bathing in association with several infectious disease or cardiovascular disease.
We propose that care providers should be required to satisfy the following as the minimum knowledge requirements for the management of hot bathing; 1) Can explain the effects and risks of hot bathing, 2) Can carry out adequate management for the hot bating of patients with cardiovascular disease, 3) Can explain the propriety of hot bathing for patients with several infectious disease.
