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 the study is to determine the effectiveness of an immersive virtual reality learning programme for nursing students, based on virtual glasses, in acquiring the competence (knowledge, skills and attitudes) to care for patients with pressure ulcers, and to compare it with the traditional teaching method. The design was an exploratory randomised controlled trial. The variables used to measure effectiveness were competence and its attributes: knowledge assessment by a multiple-choice test (Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool, Pukat 2.0 instrument), skill performance by direct observation of procedural skills (simulated cases with standardised patients) and satisfaction and usability assessment (Usefulness, Satisfaction and Ease of Use Questionnaire).
This study aimed to determine the effect of pressure ulcer care package use on the risk of pressure ulcer development due to surgery in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. It was planned as a randomized controlled study. The population of the study will consist of patients who underwent surgery in the Orthopaedics and Traumatology Clinic of Doğubayazıt Dr.Yaşar Eryılmaz State Hospital Hospital Hospital of Ağrı Provincial Health Directorate. The sample of the study will consist of patients who volunteered to participate in the study that meets the inclusion criteria. To obtain research data, the Personal Information Form developed by the researcher in line with the literature, 3S Operating Theatre Pressure Wound Risk Assessment Scale, Pressure Wound Regions and Stages Monitoring Form prepared according to NPUAP (2016) Pressure Wound Staging System Form will be used. Statistical analysis of the data obtained from the study will be performed using the SPSS 25 (Statistical Package of Social Science) package program.
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.
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.
