Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the care package (CP) developed to prevent pressure injury (PI) in patients in intensive care and to evaluate the effect of the training given to nurses on their knowledge levels and attitudes.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This experimental study was carried out in the anesthesia and reanimation intensive care unit of Düzce Atatürk State Hospital. The part with patients was completed with a total of 72 patients, 36 in the control group and 36 in the application group. The occurrence rate of PI was compared between the control group and the application group. In the section about nurses, no sample was selected and all 50 nurses working in intensive care were included in the study. Nurses' knowledge and attitudes about PI before and after the training were compared. Data were analyzed using a statistical program.

PRESSURE ULCERS PREVENTION CARE PACKAGE IN INTENSİVE CARE UNIT

This experimental study was carried out in the anesthesia and reanimation intensive care unit of Düzce Atatürk State Hospital. The part with patients was completed with a total of 72 patients, 36 in the control group and 36 in the application group. The occurrence rate of PI was compared between the control group and the application group.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

care package

Intervention Type OTHER

Before the patients in the application group started to be observed, the nurses working in the clinic were trained about the risk assessment, skin assessment, incontinence management, nutrition assessment, positioning, support surfaces and injuries caused by the devices in the BP content to be used in the prevention of IU. After the trainings given to the nurses were completed, care was given to the patients in the practice group in accordance with BP. In addition, patient information was collected from patient information files, nurse observation forms and hospital automation system. In the evaluation step, full compliance with the 7 compliance steps specified in the BP was sought. If any one of these parameters was incomplete, the others were considered as incomplete.

The patients in the control group were followed up for 30 days until the determined number of patients was reached and their data were collected.

NURSES' LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE CARE PACKAGE

In the section about nurses, no sample was selected and all 50 nurses working in intensive care were included in the study. Nurses' knowledge and attitudes about PI before and after the training were compared.
