What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • care packageOther

    Before the patients in the application group started to be observed, the nurses working in the clinic were trained about the risk assessment, skin assessment, incontinence management, nutrition assessment, positioning, support surfaces and injuries caused by the devices in the BP content to be used in the prevention of IU. After the trainings given to the nurses were completed, care was given to the patients in the practice group in accordance with BP. In addition, patient information was collected from patient information files, nurse observation forms and hospital automation system. In the evaluation step, full compliance with the 7 compliance steps specified in the BP was sought. If any one of these parameters was incomplete, the others were considered as incomplete.

    The patients in the control group were followed up for 30 days until the determined number of patients was reached and their data were collected.
