Abstract:
Objective Our objective was to design a new type of bedpan (inflatable, bed urinal) and compare its effect with common bedpan. Methods We divided 144 patients with bone fracture and lying in bed into the test group and the control group with 72 cases in each group from May 2006 to February 2007. Inflatable bed urinals were used in the test group and common bedpans were used in the control group. The pain alleviation, comfort degree, staining of bed sheet and skin injury were observed and evaluated in each group. Results Application of inflatable bed urinal was superior to common bedpan in the following aspects: alleviation of pain, comfort degree, staining of bed sheets and skin injury. Conclusions Adoption of inflatable bed urinal could alleviate pain, prevent the incidence of complication and reduce the workload of nurses.
