Filter by:Background: Airing the diaper area has a positive effect on dermatitis. In addition, it is reported in the literature that oxygen is effective in wound care. The aim of our study is to investigate the effect of oxygen on infant diaper dermatitis. Method: The study population consisted of infants will admit to the neonatal intensive care unit of a public hospital in Istanbul between October 2022 and April 2023. Sixty newborns who met the study criteria will randomly divide into two as the experimental (n=30) and control (n=30) groups. Personal data form and diaper dermatitis observation form will be used to obtain the data. All babies' diapers will be changed 8 times a day. Oxygen flow will be applied to the experimental group for one hour after each diaper change. The degree of diaper dermatitis will be evaluated every 24 hours.
This pilot study will explore whether preoperative application of stool from the stoma bag to the perianal area will prevent/ decrease postoperative perianal maceration in pediatric ostomy closure patients. It will also explore the overall safety and feasibility of this pilot study for larger randomized control trials. There will be a control group and an intervention group. The intervention group will apply stool from the stoma bag approximately 4 weeks prior to ostomy closure and fill out a compliance log and upload pictures weekly to the MyCHP (My Children's Hospital) portal. A validated diaper dermatitis score will be utilized in this study.
Diaper dermatitis is one of the most common skin problems in infants and children.It is a skin disorder in the perineal , perianal and surrounding area .It frequently occurs also in areas immediately adjacent to the diaper area . Diaper dermatitis is caused by lack of fresh air,dampness and irritation.With prevelance from 7-35 % in newborns.This skin disorder typically develops between nine and twelve months of age .
Diaper dermatitis is one of the most common dermatologic diseases affecting infants and children. The incidence is highest among those 9-12 months old and it has been reported to affect 7-50% of infants in the US. It is caused by skin exposure to a combination of several factors including: excessive moisture, topical irritants, reduced pH, friction, maceration and bacterial infection. When infants soil their diaper, diaper contents saturate the area raising the pH of the skin above the normal level of 5 or less, and leaving the area highly vulnerable to maceration from friction. Irritants in urine and feces are then able to penetrate the macerated skin, causing inflammation and greater skin friability. An elevation in the skin pH allows pathogenic bacteria to overgrow, and combined with the breakdown in the skin's outer epithelial barrier, can lead to bacterial infection. Theraworx Foam Formulation-Allantoin Liquid by Avadim Technologies, Inc. is a skin protectant with use for temporary protection of minor cuts, scrapes, burns and chapped or cracked skin. As such, Theraworx Foam used in the diaper area may be beneficial for protecting skin against diaper rash wounds, as well as for assisting with wound healing and reducing any associated pain. The purpose of this study is to determine caregivers' perceptions of the benefits of using Theraworx Foam on their infant's diaper area as part of their hygienic routine, including whether they feel the product is pleasant and easy to use, and whether they feel it helps prevent and reduce the severity of diaper dermatitis in their infants 1-14 months old.
Well-child care is the primary source of preventative health care for children. These visits provide an opportunity for physicians to assess an infant's biomedical health, development, and behavior, as well as help ensure timely immunizations, reduce the use of acute care services, and assess and family functioning. Yet, disparities in the utilization of pediatric care exist by race, ethnicity and income in the U.S., even despite high rates of overall access to primary care. Incentives have been proposed as one way to increase utilization of preventative care for mothers and children. Diapering is another important form of preventative health care that can be particularly difficult for low-income parents due the cost of diapers, which is $70-80 per child per month, or approximately $960 per year, on average. And government programs, such as Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), either cannot be used to purchase diapers, or do not provide enough assistance to cover the cost of diapers and other basic needs. A family's inability to provide an adequate supply of diapers for their child is called diaper need. Nationwide, one in three families with young children report experiencing diaper need, which was found to be significantly associated with maternal stress and depression, which in turn, can have a detrimental impact on a family's health and economic success. The primary goal of this study is to conduct a randomized controlled trial of a diaper provision intervention designed to increase utilization of, and adherence to, well-child visits and reduce diaper need among low-resourced families in New Haven, CT.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of Calmoseptine Ointment and Desitin Maximum Strength 40% Zinc Oxide Diaper Rash Paste in the treatment of diaper dermatitis among Neonates and Infants.
The primary objective of this study is to collect feces from premature infants over a five weeks period to characterize its composition. Metabolomics, Proteomics, Genomics and Microbiome analyses and cell-based assays will be performed to identify individual components present in feces, which may contribute to the onset of irritation in the diapered area of premature infants.
