“…A higher percentage of females than males reported two or more devices (i.e., 36.22% of females compared to 27.09% of males). This finding of a relationship between gender and number of devices reported is contrary to findings of Haworth and Hopkins (1980) that there are no significant gender differences in the use of aids.…”

“…Not surprisingly, studies of hip replacement patients found high uses of aids immediately post-discharge, with a drop in use with time for most patients (Haworth, 1983;Haworth & Hopkins, 1980). For hip replacement patients, the most frequently used aids irnrnediately post-discharge were walking aids and toileting aids (e.g., raised toilet seats), followed by bathing aids (e.g., tub benches, bath sponges) (Haworth, 1983;Seeger & Fisher, 1982).…”

This study used data files from thc National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), 1990: Assistive Devices Supplement sample of 117,042 adults from the 50 states and the District of Columbia. A subsample of 3,297 persons aged 65 years and oldcr was selected on which to perform secondary analysis on the association of self-reported health status, activity limitation, total number of deviccs reported, and demographic variables. Twenty-three percent of persons aged 65 and older reported any assistive device. Black respondents reported more activity limitations than respondents from other races, but there was no relationship among race and total devices reported. Greater percentages of women than men have more activity limitations as well as report more than one device. Persons not living with a spouse reported more than one device.

“…Our negative findings are consistent with those of other researchers in regard to age (4) and sex (4,17,20), but they conflict with the evidence on living arrangements (18), and education (19). The strongest evidence linking demographic characteristics with device usage comes from population-based studies (21)(22)(23)(24).…”

“…Evidence from patients with rheumatic disease suggests that when the usage rate for all prescribed devices is considered, neither age nor sex distinguishes users from non-users. However, when rates for specific devices are examined, the discard rate for bathing, dressing, and toileting aids tends to be higher for men than women (3,4), and older patients tend to make greater use of walking aids than younger patients (4). A relationship between increased disability and increased device use has also been observed (2).…”

Objectives. To examine use of an assistive device, a long-handled bath sponge (LHBS) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis to describe use from the time of in-hospital prescription to the 2-and 12-month followups, and to describe the characteristics of those who became device users and non-users. Methods. Patients (n ‫؍‬ 102) who were prescribed a LHBS during hospitalization were followed prospectively. The clinical and psychosocial assessment included disease, physical and psychosocial factors, and disability. Results. The overall usage rate for the LHBS was 86%. When compared with users, non-users had fewer arthritic joints, perceived greater control over their disability and pain, and had less favorable perceptions of the LHBS. Characteristics that did not differentiate non-users from users were sociodemographic variables, disease duration, movement capability, level of disability and pain, and general perceptions of assistive devices. Conclusion. The results support the early identification of patients who are likely to become non-users so that acceptable alternative interventions can be planned.

Prescription of adaptive equipment is a core component of occupational therapy practice. Adaptive equipment can help people with physical limitations to optimize their independence during the completion of activities of daily living. In this paper, we report the results of an audit of patients' use of eight pieces of prescribed bathing equipment eight weeks after discharge from hospital, and analyze the reasons for their patterns of use. Participants were 64 patients (mean age = 70.7 years, 62.5% female), discharged from a metropolitan hospital after treatment for a general medical condition or undergoing a surgical procedure, who had been prescribed one or more pieces of bathing equipment by an occupational therapist. The types of bathing equipment included in this study were shower stools, shower chairs, bath boards, hand held shower hoses, toe wipers, soap bags, nonslip mats, and long handled back brushes. Of 90 pieces of bathing equipment prescribed, an over-Trish Wielandt is a Doctoral student and Kryss McKenna is Senior Lecturer,
