Clinical Trial Summary

The present study was planned to compare the effect of products, used in the fixation of nasogastric tube, on skin integrity of 4-6 weeks infants hospitalized at neonatal and infant units. The hypothesis of the study is "Water-based barrier tape is more effective to protect skin integrity than hydrocolloid barrier tape."


Clinical Trial Description

The study was planned as randomized controlled and experimental design to compare the efficiency of three different methods protecting skin deficiencies using adhesive products for 4-6 weeks infants. The universe of the study consisted of 4-6 weeks infants in neonatal and infants clinics of Giresun Women's and Children's Hospital between the dates of October 2020-2021. Power analysis was performed through G*Power (v3.1.7) programme in order to determine the number of the sample. At the beginning of the study, a pilot study was carried out with 15 participants from each of the groups and the effect size was calculated as d=0.672 regarding the assessment of skin condition scores and 108 participants in total should be included in the study as 36 participants for each groups in order to obtain 80% power in the level of α=0.05. Block randomization technique is applied in the study as a randomization method. "As for data collection "Infant desciption form" and "Neonatal Skin Condition Score Scale" is used. The scale is filled by two independent observer via double-blind method. ;
