Description

This study aimed to evaluate the use of box sheets in reducing shear and wrinkles in comparison with standard sheets. In this study, box and standard sheets of 22 healthy women (average age : 24.0±3.0 years) were surveyed for shear and wrinkles after 60 minutes of recumbency and 30 minutes in the head-up position. These sheets were marked for measuring shear. As a result, both sheets had more shear along the length of the bed than in the horizontal direction and significantly more wrinkles in the middle of the sheets than in other areas (p ＜0.05). While the subject was in the head-up position, significantly more wrinkles were observed in the lower area of the sheets than in the upper area (p ＜0.05), while more shear was observed in the upper area than in the lower area (p ＜0.05). While in the recumbent position, the middle and lower part of the box sheets were significantly less wrinkled as compared to the standard sheets (p ＜0.05). Based on the above observations, box sheets with a bursiform near the head allows the toe side to be pulled with moderate power when making the bed ; further, box sheets have less wrinkles, and no significant difference in shear was seen when compared to the standard sheets. This confirmed that box sheets were useful for patients under medical treatment.
