The rate of elderly population is increasing in the world. It is reported that the proportion of the world population over the age of 60 will increase to 22% by 2050 (Lichterfeld Kottner et al. 2020). With advancing age, the skin is inevitably affected and becomes more vulnerable to possible damage (Brooks et al. 2017). Additionally, as the skin ages, it undergoes many internal and external deteriorations. Intrinsic aging refers to biological changes that cannot be prevented to a large extent. External factors; exposure to conditions such as ultraviolet rays and radiation (Cowdell, 2011). In addition, in elderly individuals, conditions such as frequent washing, especially washing with harsh products, lack of hygiene, trauma, decreased peripheral satisfaction, immobility, incontinence, diabetes, vascular changes, malnutrition, use of multiple medications, depression, and dementia are among the situations that increase the risk of deterioration in skin health (Cowdell et al. 2015) Hypotheses of the Research H0-1=The care given to elderly patients according to the protocol prepared has no effect on the moisture status of the skin. H1-1= The care given to elderly patients according to the prepared protocol affects the moisture status of the skin. H0-2== The care given to elderly patients with the prepared protocol has no effect on their dermatological lives. H1-2== The care given to elderly patients with the prepared protocol has an impact on their dermatological lives. H0-3= The care provided with the protocol prepared for elderly patients has no effect on general comfort. H1-3= The care provided with the protocol prepared in elderly patients has an effect on general comfort.

---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Patient Information Form (PIF) | The patient information form (PIF) was created by the researcher by scanning the literature on the subject (Bickley et al. 2017, Güner et al. 2017, Tarakçioglu Çelik 2019, Kalayci and Özkul 2019, Dinçer and Kursun 2019, In and Akça 2021, Çelenk and Kumcagiz 2022, Bekircan and Okanli 2023). | one week | |
Primary | General Comfort Scale (GCS): | Kolcaba developed the General Comfort Scale (GCS) and published it in 1992. Its Turkish validity and reliability were tested by Kuguoglu and Karabacak in 2008. For convenience, the four-point Likert type is mostly used. Subdimensions of the scale; relief (16 items), relaxation (17 items) and overcoming problems (15 items). Positive and negative items are given mixed in the scale. In positive questions, 4 points indicate high comfort and 1 point indicates low comfort. In negative questions, 1 point indicates high comfort and 4 points indicate low comfort. When calculating the score from the scale, negative scores are reverse coded and summed with positive items. The highest score of the scale is 192 and the lowest score is 48. Cronbach's alpha value of the Turkish version of the scale is 0.85. | one week | |
Primary | Dermatological Quality of Life index (DLQI) | The scale was developed by Finlay and Khan in 1994. Turkish validity and reliability were determined by Öztürkcan et al. (2006). There are 10 questions in total, the score varies between 0-30, and there is an inverse relationship between the score obtained and quality of life. It is attempted to determine to what extent the disease-specific symptoms affect people in the last week (Namdar and Arikan 2019). Scoring is as follows: "quite a lot = 3 points", "a lot = 2 points", "slightly = 1 point", "not at all = 0 points" and "not relevant = 0 points", and the scale can vary between 0 and 30 by adding the points of each question. The total score is obtained. | one week | |
Primary | Elderly Patient's Skin Evaluation Subjective Data Form(EPSESDF) | The form was reviewed by scanning the literature (Weber and Kelley 2014, Lynn 2015, Bickley et al. 2017, Sendir and Büyükyilmaz 2017, Karadakovan 2017, Bayraktar and Faydali 2017, Jarvis and Eckhardt 2020, Berman et al. 2021, Demir Dikmen 2021) and "Leather Care Prepared in accordance with the protocol | one week | |
Primary | Elderly Patient's Skin Evaluation Objective Data Form (EPSEODF) | The form was created in line with the relevant literature (Weber and Kelley 2014, Lynn 2015, Bickley et al. 2017, Sendir and Büyükyilmaz 2017, Çatiker 2018, Jarvis and Eckhardt 2020). | one week | |
Primary | Elderly Patient's Pressure Injury Evaluation Form (EPPIEF) | Form-related literature (Sendir and Büyükyilmaz 2017, EPUAP/NPIAP/PPPIA 2019, Jarvis and Eckhardt 2020, Ersoy et al. 2018, Sendir et al. 2021, Horasan 2021, https://sbn.saglik.gov.tr/BKindeksi Access It was created in accordance with the date: 1.01.2024). | one week | |
Primary | Elderly Patient's Skin Care and Hygiene Evaluation Forms (EPSCHEF) | The form was prepared in line with the relevant literature (Zaybak A, Günes 2009, Ugur 2018, Jarvis and Eckhardt 2020, Berman et al. 2021, In and Akça 2021, Potter et al. 2021). | one week | |
Primary | Skin Moisture Measurement (DMM) | To evaluate skin moisture, measurements were made with the DMM skin moisture meter. The DMM device measures moisture in any part of the skin. The amount of moisture is measured from the outer surface of this device without causing any damage. | one week |
