INTRODUCTION

For people who due to various circumstances, are forced to be in the supine position and cannot independently take care of themselves, there are often problems of personal hygiene. Changing a diaper is an important element in the process of patient care, as proper care can prevent the development of infections and make the patient's life much more pleasant.

Reflection

Having theoretical and practical skills, this allows me to do my job much better. To know the technology of changing diapers, working with the commode, and precautions. Occupational health and hygiene regulations allow me to maintain the patient's health. It is important to create a favourable atmosphere for the patient by means of communication. Preserve their independence and dignity.
