Brief Summary

SUMMARY In a non-randomised (quasi-experimental) clinical study, it was aimed to determine the effect of the care package applied in the early postoperative period on operating theatre pressure sores, pain, fear of falling and comfort in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery. In the study, the care bundle for pressure injuries was prepared in accordance with the clinical guidelines and was applied to the patients in the study group. This study was conducted in the orthopaedics and traumatology clinic of a public hospital in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• The effect of pressure ulcer care package on the incidence of pressure ulcers in patients

  In this study, it was seen that the pressure ulcer care package applied to the study group contributed positively to the change in the incidence rate of pressure ulcers.

  Implementation Time: 3.5 Month

• The effect of pressure ulcer care package on pain perception in patients

  In this study, it was seen that the pressure ulcer care package applied to the study group made positive contributions to the change of pain level. Visual Analog Scale was used to evaluate the level of pain. The score obtained from the scale ranges from one to ten. The higher the score, the higher the level of pain.

  Implementation Time: 3.5 Month

• The effect of pressure ulcer care package on fear of falling in patients

  In this study, the pressure ulcer care package applied to the study group changed the fear of falling in patients. Visual Analogue Scale was used to obtain numerical data in the assessment of fear of falling. The score obtained from the scale ranges from one to ten. The higher the score, the greater the fear of falling.

  Implementation Time: 3.5 Month

• The effect of pressure ulcer care package on comfort in patients

  In this study, the pressure ulcer care package applied to the study group changed the comfort of the patients. The comfort level of the patients was determined by using the short form of the comfort scale. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the level of comfort increases.

  Implementation Time: 3.5 Month
