The Clothing Design for the Elderly Care

Abstract

The physiological functions of the elderly will gradually degenerate with age, and their daily life will require special care as well. With the aging population around the globe, the elderly population has increased gradually, and the care of the elderly is getting more and more attention. More and more elderly people are living in nursing homes to acquire convenient care. By observing the care for elderly people, we can find that although the elderly can receive full care in nursing homes, they can also be exposed to occupational injuries. Therefore, this study aims to explore and analyze the care-giving procedures to improve the care efficiency and quality of caregivers for the elderly living in nursing homes, and to reduce the pressure of care-giving, thus enhancing the autonomy of the elderly. By re-examining the methods of care for the elderly, we will start from improving the dressing problems encountered by the elderly and aim at improving the self-care of the elderly and reducing the work injuries suffered by the caregivers, thus improving the quality of life of the elderly and contributing to the issue of aging population around the globe in the future.
