简要总结
Aim: This study was conducted to investigate the effectiveness of two types of mattresses with different support surfaces used in bedridden patients.
Method: The sample of this quasi-experimental study consisted of 60 patients according to the inclusion criteria. A group I and group II of 30 patients each were formed from the sampled patients. For the patients in group I, a bed with a cube/block system and vibration (massage) feature was used. For the patients in group II, a viscoelastic mattress was used. The data of the study were collected with the ''Patient Identification Form'', ''Braden Scale'', ''Pressure Wound Observation Form'' and ''Wound Measurement Chart''. Number-percentage distributions, Chi-square, Fisher's Exact Probability Test and Mann-Whitney-U tests were used to evaluate the data.
Implications for Clinical Practice: It was determined that the support surface used affected the pressure sore size and the mattress with cube/block system and vibration (massage) feature created smaller sized wounds in the sacrum, trochanter, malleolus and heel regions. In the sacrum, scapula, and heel regions, although not statistically significant in terms of wound stage and the number of patients who developed pressure sores, it was seen that the mattress with cube/block system and vibration (massage) feature was more effective.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of patients without pressure ulcers
时间窗: Patients were followed up for four weeks.
The formation of pressure sores in patients will be prevented with a bed with cube/block system massage feature. The massage feature of the bed will be used for this. In addition, the pressure in the relevant area will be reduced by removing the cubes inside the bed.
