Summary
This study tests a specially designed garment for elderly dementia patients who have incontinence and often remove their protective pads. The goal is to see if a more dignified, comfortable garment can improve satisfaction for patients and caregivers. Forty participants will be randomly assigned to wear the new garment or standard care, and their satisfaction will be measured.

What this could lead to
