When a person requiring nursing care experiences cognitive decline or other issues, leading to decreased function and impaired judgment, problematic behaviors such as removing diapers or pulling out IVs may occur.
In some cases, nursing mittens are used to address these problematic behaviors.

Nursing mittens are shaped to cover all five fingers and the palms of the hands.
They are secured with hook-and-loop fasteners or strings at the wrists, designed to make it difficult for the person to remove them on their own.

Mesh material nursing mittens are breathable, making them comfortable even during seasons when sweating is likely.
If the person sweats, it is advisable to change the mittens frequently.

Nursing mittens are not intended to suppress the actions of the person requiring care.
They should be used with the understanding that they are meant to prevent danger.



When a person removes their own paper diaper, their pajamas and bedding can become soiled.
If the skin is soiled with excrement, it can cause dermatitis or skin abrasions.
Caregivers need to consider why the person is removing their diaper.

They are used to protect against dangers such as pulling out tubes, scratching, or removing diapers.
When the caregiver's eyes are on the person, it is best to refrain from using nursing mittens as much as possible and to create time for the hands to move freely.



Inserting the hand into the diaper and kneading the stool or smearing it on the bed or wall is called "rōben" (soiling).
This behavior is said to be caused by discomfort from a dirty diaper.
Rōben not only makes maintaining cleanliness difficult but also poses a risk of the person putting their dirty hands or feces into their mouth.



As cognitive decline progresses, it becomes difficult to suppress emotions, and problematic behaviors such as scratching or hitting may appear.
Scratches can lead to bacterial infections or other complications.
Additionally, it is to prevent injuries to the caregiver.



Removing medical tubes or devices can be life-threatening in some cases.
Pulling them out may be caused by discomfort from the tubes, itching, or pain.
In addition to addressing these causes, using nursing mittens is recommended.
Behaviors such as pulling out or scratching tubes often cause trouble for caregivers.
However, it is important to understand that these behaviors are caused by various factors.
While eliminating the causes of the behaviors, use nursing mittens.

Until about 20 to 30 years ago, knowledge about cognitive decline (then called dementia) was scarce throughout society, and in some cases, people believed "once they go senile, they cannot understand anything," leading to inhumane treatment of those with cognitive decline.

However, nowadays, even if a person develops cognitive decline, their right to continue social life with appropriate support is guaranteed.

People with cognitive decline were active members of society, supporting their families and raising children before their symptoms appeared.

Instead of focusing only on "they can no longer do this" or "they do not understand that," it is important to recognize their unchanging essence and provide necessary support at each moment through collaboration among medical, nursing, welfare, community, and family sectors.

Caregivers should not treat people with cognitive decline as children, and should always aim to provide care that they would want if they themselves became cognitively impaired.
