- Brief Summary
Skin injury due to the use of medical adhesives is a common but under recognized complication in children. To prevent central venous catheter-related complications, care interventions should be planned in such a way that they do not lead to medical adhesive-related skin injury. Systematic administration of preventive care interventions is needed to reduce skin injuries associated with medical adhesive used for central venous catheter fixation. The SECURE Care Bundle has been developed by researchers based on the latest evidence to prevent medical adhesive-related skin injuries associated with central venous catheter fixation in children.The SECURE Care Bundle is a systematic approach to care that includes checking the skin, assessing risk factors, correctly applying and removing medical adhesives and registering medical adhesive related skin injury.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the SECURE Care Bundle in reducing MARSI incidence related to CVC fixation in pediatric patients and to examine its influence on the MARSI occurrence time.
Hypotheses Null Hypothesis (H₀): There is no effect of the SECURE Care Bundle in preventing skin injuries related to central venous catheter (CVC) fixation in children.
Hypothesis 1 (H₁): Children who receive the SECURE Care Bundle experience a lower incidence of medical adhesive-related skin injury due to CVC fixation compared to those who receive standard care.
Hypothesis 2 (H₂): Children who receive the SECURE Care Bundle develop medical adhesive-related skin injury due to CVC fixation later than those who receive standard care.
This quasi-experimental study follows a pre-test/post-test control group design and will be conducted in the Pediatric Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit. A total of 92 pediatric patients will participate. Following informed consent, patients will be allocated into intervention (n=46) and control (n=46) groups. Data collection tools will include a descriptive information form, the Braden QD Scale, a skin observation form, and the SECURE Care Bundle checklist. The intervention group will receive the SECURE Care Bundle, and its effectiveness will be assessed by analyzing MARSI incidence and time to onset.

The care provided in the clinic will continue to be provided in the same way. SECURE Care Bundle SECURE Care Bundle The SECURE Care Bundle has been developed by researchers based on the latest evidence to prevent medical adhesive-related skin injuries associated with central venous catheter fixation in children.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of medical adhesive-related skin injury due to central venous catheter fixation From Day 1 (postoperative admission to PCCU) to MARSI occurrence or discharge, up to 30 days Incidence of medical adhesive-related skin injury due to central venous catheter fixation refers to the proportion of patients who develop medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI). This outcome will be assessed in both the pre-test and post-test groups, and the results will be compared to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention.Three types of MARSI incidence rates will be calculated: (1)the rate per 100 patients, (2)the rate per 100 MAs, and (3)the rate per 1000 days of MA use. The formulas for calculating each incidence rate will be as follows: (1)incidence rate per 100 patients= number of MARSIs/number of patients × 100, (2)incidence rate per 100 MAs= number of MARSIs/number of MAs × 100, and (3)incidence rate per 1000 days of MA use= number of MARSIs/number of days of MA usage × 1000.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method MARSI occurrence time From Day 1 (the day of CVC insertion and fixation) to the first occurrence of MARSI or end of treatment, up to 30 days MARSI occurrence time is defined as the time interval, measured in days, from the initial application of the central venous catheter (CVC) and its securement with medical adhesive to the first documented occurrence marsi.
