Filter by:The focus of this study will be early stage pressure ulcers, which can quickly progress to stage 3, 4 or deep tissue injury The proposed study explores the feasibility of intermittent electrical stimulation (IES),Prelivia, a novel, non-invasive technology in the management of stage 1 and 2 pressure ulcers.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of in-situ simulation and moulage to improve nursing students' pressure injury classification and assessment skills. A randomized controlled model with a pretest-posttest control group was used in this study. The population of the study consists of a faculty of nursing at a state university. The sample consisted of 84 nursing students. The control group received simulation-based training using a pressure injury simulator on a standardised patient in the simulation laboratory, the in-laboratory simulation group received simulation-based training using moulage on a standardised patient in the simulation laboratory, and the in-situ simulation group received simulation-based training using moulage on a standardised patient in the clinic of a university hospital. The research data were collected by Descriptive Characteristics Form, Pressure Injury Knowledge Test, Pressure Injury Assessment Form, Performance Checklist, Students' Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale and Student Feedback Form.
The purpose of this observational study is to find out the impact of pressure injury education on the knowledge level of pediatric intensive care nurses and the likelihood of pediatric pressure injury occurrence. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Does pressure injury education increase nurses knowledge level on pediatric pressure injuries? - Does the rate of pediatric pressure injuries decrease after the education? The researcher will compare nurses working in two separate pediatric intensive care units where similar patients are treated to see if planned education on pressure injuries affects nurses knowledge level and the rate of pediatric pressure injuries. - Volunteer nurses participating in the study will answer pressure injury survey questions prepared by the researcher. - Nurses in the intervention group will attend planned education sessions provided by the researcher. - Two weeks after the completion of the education sessions, all nurses in the intervention and control groups who wish to continue participating in the study will answer the pressure injury survey questions prepared by the researcher again.
The study will be a multi-center, triple-blinded, cluster randomized controlled trial (c-RCT) conducted with a three-arm parallel design and a 1:1:1 allocation ratio. The experimental groups will consist of two arms: the intervention group, where patients will receive training in relevant pressure injury care bundles, and the placebo group, where patients will receive training in an irrelevant topic like respiratory care. Both intervention and placebo groups will receive specialized pressure injury prevention (PIP) care bundle from trained wound specialist nurses (WSNs). The third arm will be the control group comprising patients who do not undergo any training course and will receive only routine standard care for PIP care bundle. The aim of c-RCT will be to compare the incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injury (HAPI) in the three study groups and to provide detailed evidence on the effect of the developed pressure injury care bundle, administered by WSNs on the development of HAPI in trained hospitalized patients, as opposed to those receiving routine standard care for PIP care bundle without training.
This study is an experimental study. The main caregivers of pressure injury patients in the plastics surgery ward and general medicine ward of the hospital in Taipei City who are over 20 years old, have good communication skills in Chinese and Taiwanese or who can read Chinese are the research objects. During the study process, pre-tests will be given to the accepted subjects, which are the correctness evaluation scale of caregiver's pressure injury wound dressing change and caregiver self-efficacy scale, and then the accepted subjects will be divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group will receive interventions of virtual reality and artificial intelligence wound detecting system, while the control group maintained the traditional pressure injury health education with oral introduction and health education leaflet. After the intervention measures are given, a post-test (same as the pre-test content) will be conducted within two days. Finally, analyze the effectiveness of the intervention of virtual reality pressure injury education video and artificial intelligence wound detecting system on caregivers of pressure injury improve wound care correctness and increase self-efficacy.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of using hydrocolloid tapes in preventing pressure injuries on the nose and columella regions caused by non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) in preterm infants.
Introduction: This study was to compare the differences in the incidence, grade, and time of surgery-related pressure injuries between the two interventions; and describe the locations of surgery-related pressure injuries between the two interventions. Methods: This study adopted a true experimental research design with a convenience sampling method from the operating rooms of a teaching hospital in a northern region. The experimental group was randomly assigned by block to receive intervention A (full bed silicone mattress plus other measures), and the control group received intervention B (full bed silicone mattress plus usual care). Measurements include basic personal attributes, risk factors, grade, time, and location of occurrence related to surgery-related pressure injuries.
The study aimed to investigate anesthesia management of pediatric patients in the Ankara Bilkent City Hospital during the earthquake disaster of February 6.
This study is an open-label, single-center trial which aim to evaluate of efficacy and safety of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in stage 3 and 4 stress injury.
Pressure ulcers are a global issue and substantial concern for healthcare systems. A review of the literature between January 2000 and December 2012 has revealed that prevalence rate of pressure ulcers in aged care facilities were between 4.1% and 32.2%, and the incidence rates ranged from 1.9% to 59%. Similarly, a systematic review reported that the prevalence of pressure ulcer varied between 0.3% and 46%, and the incidence of pressure ulcer ranged from 0.8% to 34%. Most epidemiological data were obtained from hospitals (38.7%) and institutional long-term care facilities (29.7%). The costs associated with pressure ulcers are considerable. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality (2011), the US healthcare system has allocated approximately $ 9.1 - $ 11.6 billion annually for the health care cost of pressure ulcer. In addition to direct treatment-related costs, the development of pressure ulcer also results in litigation and government penalties, and affects hospital performance metrics. A systematic review has reported that the cost for treatment of pressure ulcer was higher than its prevention. That is, the cost per patient per day ranged from € 1.71 to € 470.49 (for treatment) and from € 2.65 to € 87.57 (for prevention) across all settings. This randomized controlled trial will be performed in a general hospital in a random sample of 308 patients (nursing wards geriatric n=3 and orthopedic (n=3)) who are at high risk of developing pressure ulcers. Patients will be included in the study for a period > 2 hospitalisation days. Skin assessment and risk factor registration will be done on a daily base by the ward nurses. Reliability checks and time measurements will be completed by the researcher.
