 In long-term care facilities, the users' conditions are often severe and are likely to get progressively worse, leading to the need for more care services. Bathing care is one of the services that put a heavy burden on the caregiver, as it is performed in a high temperature and high humidity environment. The purpose of this study was to clarify the actual conditions of the bathing care system and examine the issue of burden of care in long-term care facilities.

 A questionnaire was mailed to the care administrators of 342 institutions. The survey content was on the bathing care time and system. Replies were obtained from 156 institutions (45.6%). We found that a high percentage of welfare facilities for the elderly (Tokuyo) had bathtubs for individual bathing. Also, these places were providing more one-to-one bathing care services than the geriatric health service facilities (Roken) or medical long-term care sanatoriums (Ryoyo-gata). Independent of the type of the facility, about half of them replied that the time caregivers spent on bathing care per shift was less than 200 minutes, but there were facilities that said it was more than 300 minutes. The results suggest that the caregivers at all types of long-term care facilities are required to spend a long time doing bathing care. This may be due to the severity of the users' conditions, and may lead to a heavy physical and mental burden on caregivers.
