Survey reveals that primary diagnosis significantly influences bath seat utilization among diverse patient groups, highlighting condition-specific barriers to assistive equipment.
A survey was undertaken on use of bath seats, and whether diagnosis, age, sex, living conditions and payment for the aid(s) influenced their use. Eighty-two per cent of patients were found to use their aids. Only diagnosis influenced the use significantly (p = 0.008). With correspondence analysis those with joint disease showed closest relationship with permanent use. Those with spinal cord injury showed closest relationship with no use.
