Problems and Preferences for Bedridden People Clothing from the Caregivers' Perspective
Keywords:
clothing problems, clothing preferences, bedridden clothing
Abstract
The study aimed to identify problems and preferences for clothing for bedridden people. In-depth interviews were conducted with 15 health care providers and home caregivers. This is to identify problems associated with current clothing, and to know preferences for bedridden clothing from the perspective of caregivers. The content of the interviews was analyzed and the information and data contained therein were classified. The results showed the following:
- Clothing problems for the bedridden are related to problems in (fabric, design, difficulties related to the bedridden, difficulties related to the caregiver).
The clothing preferences of the bedridden person were determined by preferences in (fabric, design, availability).
Accordingly, the study recommended conducting interviews with bedridden people, which may result in extracting new problems and insights. It also recommended building on the results of the study and proposing clothing designed for bedridden people. And benefiting from scientific outputs that were concerned with identifying the clothing needs of segments of society, and placing them in an official blog that is used as a guide for designers and manufacturers interested in the field of adaptive clothing.
