The Effect of Care Bundle in Preventing Pressure Ulcers Caused by Medical Devices in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Pressure Ulcer; Nursing Caries; Device Induced Injury

• Registration Number: NCT05406986
• Lead Sponsor: Kilis 7 Aralik University

Brief Summary

With the development of technology in medicine, more medical instruments are used in the treatment of diseases. Although the use of these instruments provides great benefits for the patients, it can also cause some complications.One of the most important of these complications is pressure ulcer.Some care and evaluation are needed to prevent these complications.This study aims to prevent pressure ulcers with a care package for patients with high risk scores.

Detailed Description

A care package will be created with the Delphi method to prevent pressure ulcers caused by medical devices.Experimental and control groups will be formed by randomized control method.The care package created for 14 days will be applied to the experimental group. standard care will be applied to the control group.As a result, the rates of medical device-induced pressure ulcers in both groups will be compared.Children between the ages of 1 and 10 years and treated in the pediatric intensive care unit will be included in the study.Patients with any skin-related disease will not be included in the study.
