ABSTRACT

This study aimed to examine the effects of pressure ulcer prevention using Care Sheet Pup focusing on Intensive Care Unit patients. The study is non-equivalent control group pre and-post test design. This study was carried out from 17th March to 16th September in 2014. There were 240 participant who were recruited from the intensive care unit in E general hospital in Korea. 120 patients in the Intensive Care Unit were assigned to an experimental group and 120 patients were assigned to a control group. The experimental group received the Care Sheet Pup and general care of pressure ulcer was given to the control group. The data was analyzed using t-test and chi-square test with SPSS Statistics Win 20.0 program. The incidence of pressure ulcers in the experimental group was lower than the control group(p=.000). There was a lower pressure ulcer stage in the experimental group than the control group(p=.000). To summarize, the results of this study suggest that the Care Sheet Pup dressing is effective in preventing pressure ulcer in Intensive Care Unit patients. However, this is limited to generalize the findings. We propose further research on the cost-effectiveness based on the type of the pressure ulcer dressing in order to prevent and manage pressure ulcer for Intensive Care Unit patients.
