Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Before the start of the study, nurses on the participating wards will be educated by the researcher about skin observation, pressure ulcer classification, risk assessment, risk assessment, and use of the Ultracore Repose® mattress (Frontier therapeutics Ltd).
Skin assessment and risk assessment are performed on a daily basis by the staff nurses. Reliability testing will be done by the researcher on a weekly basis and without pre-announcement. Reliability checks and compliance with the protocol will be completed by the researcher as well as the collection of additional data.
Qualitative part
Three focus groups will be set- up at the end of the study to provide insights into how caregivers think about the product and to provide a deeper understanding of the difference between the use of the Ultracore Repose® mattress (versus the Repose overlay mattress® and an alternating air mattress).The researcher will encourage group interactions to capture the data and to provide a more comprehensive understanding of experiences and perceptions of using the Ultracore Repose® mattress (versus the Repose overlay mattress® and an alternating air mattress). Non-verbal communication will also be captured in each focus group.
