Proposal for Portable Shower for Comfort and Relief of Patients, Family, and Professionals
Journal Title: Journal of Pain & Relief - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
The hospital scenario or home hospitalization brings feeling of insecurity to patients and families that accentuate when they depend on basic care such as hygiene, food, and physical mobility. The professional has the opportunity to focus his/her care actions making an integrated connection between the tasks normalized by the institution together with the possibilities to better assist the patient and the family to ensure comfort and safety [1]. However, caring is not limited to the execution of technical activities, but it evolves the patient as a whole, his/her history, expectations, and feelings, rescuing the importance of emotional, psychological and physical aspects welcoming and valuing them in all their dimensions [2].
