Occupational therapy interventions can be effective in improving abilities to bathe. In a randomized controlled trial with older adults experiencing some level of difficulty with ADLs or IADLs, Gitlin and colleagues (2006) found participants who received an occupational therapist treatment that consisted of cognitive training (problem-solving, reframing), behavioral adaptations (pace self, sit instead of stand to perform tasks), and environmental modifications (grab bars) had less difficulty with ADLs and IADLs than controls, with largest benefits occurring in bathing (p=0.02) and toileting (p=0.049).
Long-term care residents who are bathed with assistance and patients in acute care agencies who bathe themselves may be at risk for scalding and burning from temperatures in shower rooms (Fathers, 2004).

Bathe could not recall praying in more than a year, but recited one Our Father after another as Warren died in his arms.
As Bathe bent over Warren, "I felt my heart break open in prayer.
Bathe descended the mountain to tell Warren's wife and three children that Warren's last words were words of love for them.
Like Jesus choosing 12 to be apostles, Bathe selected a dozen houses and hermitages of Benedictines, Carmelites, Franciscans and Trappists.
Last year Bathe took final vows as a Carmelite brother.
Bathe finds the academic environment hard at times and feels that everything is being scrutinized.
Bathe was dumbfounded to learn there were 20 virginal conception stories in Mesopotamia and two creation stories.
In choosing the Carmelites, Bathe "went with the wisdom of 800 years" even though he had considered newer, more conservative congregations that appealed to his "Southern evangelical bent." The "incarnational spirituality" of the Carmelites who try to see the face of God in all those they serve attracted Bathe, who wants to work in street ministry.
