A practical guide for caregivers on changing an adult disposable diaper while the user remains in a wheelchair.
Changing an adult disposable diaper for a wheelchair user requires preparation, gentle handling and attention to hygiene.
Have a fresh diaper, disposable gloves, wipes and a disposal bag within reach before starting. Ensure privacy and lock the wheelchair brakes.
Help the user lean to one side, unfasten the tabs and roll the soiled diaper away. Clean the skin from front to back, let it dry, then slide the new diaper into position and fasten the tabs symmetrically.
Check that leg cuffs are pulled out to prevent leaks, dispose of the used diaper hygienically, and wash hands thoroughly.
