Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

During the first intervention visit, a licensed contractor will install the bidets in participants' homes. The OT will then educate and train the caregiver and care recipient to successfully use the bidet, and make any modifications to the remote as needed. Throughout the intervention, the OT will use motivational enhancement strategies. The OT will make minor modifications to the remote as needed. A second intervention visit will occur 1-2 weeks post-installation to address any new difficulties. Check-in phone calls will be offered to the caregiver and care recipient if needed.
