Five different pillows were tested based on what the study location commonly used and had available. The pillows included: standard pillow with pillowcase, non-powered fluidized positioner, medium-sized (17 × 17 × 1.5 inches) static seat cushion placed under the shoulders and head, pediatric-sized (13 × 13 × 2 inches) static air cushion placed under the head, and foam donut.Results: The non-powered fluidized positioner had the highest average pressure and peak pressure for all 3 volunteers. The medium static air seat cushion had the lowest average and peak pressures for 2 out of 3 volunteers. None of the head cushions consistently demonstrated a larger surface area of pressure distribution.Conclusions: The medium-sized static air seat cushion, placed under the shoulders and head, demonstrated the most favorable pressure redistribution properties.

Understanding the epidemiological characteristics and preventive measures is crucial for improving patient outcomes.Purpose: To analyze the epidemiological characteristics, prevention status, and influencing factors of pressure injury (PI) in older inpatients of Zhuang and Han nationality in Guangxi, China.Methods: A total of 2206 inpatients age 60 years or older in 2 class III grade A general hospitals in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region between April 1, 2021, and May 27, 2021, were included in this cross-sectional study. Epidemiological characteristics-including age, sex, educational background, race, ethnicity, and hospitalization information-were collected using a general information questionnaire designed by the researchers. The PI risk factors were evaluated using the Braden Scale. Prevention status was assessed using the Epidemiology and Prevention Skin Injuries in the Elderly Scale and Skin Injury Survey Scale.Results: Of the total 2206 patients included in the study, 555 (25.16%) were of Zhuang nationality and 1651 (74.84%) were of Han nationality. The overall PI incidence was 2.58%, with PI prevalence of 1.80% and 2.85% in Zhuang and Han patients, respectively. The main influencing factor for PI in Zhuang patients was caregivers (P < .05), whereas in Han patients the main influencing factors were urinary conditions, Alzheimer disease, sedatives, and antihypertensive drugs (P < .05).Conclusion: The PI prevalence rates were similar in both ethnic groups.

The databases were searched from their inception to October 31, 2023. All studies that met inclusion criteria were examined to identify risk factors for PSCs. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening and information extraction, evaluated the literature quality using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, and performed descriptive analysis of the results.Results: Ten studies were included in this review.

Patients were divided into 2 groups based on the surgery type: elective vs emergency.Results: A total of 375 patients were included in this study. Two hundred fifty-three patients (67.5%) underwent elective stoma creation, while 122 (32.5%) underwent stoma creation during an emergency surgery. In the emergency group, white blood cell, blood urea nitrogen, and creatinine levels were statistically significantly higher (P = .001, .001, and .002, respectively). Albumin levels were statistically significantly lower in the emergency group (P = .001). The mean Emergency Surgery Score was 5.17 ± 2.73 in the emergency group compared to 4.4 ± 2.44 in the elective group (P = .006). Colorectal cancer was the most common cause of stoma creation in both groups. In terms of stoma creation, colostomy was statistically significantly more common in the emergency group (59%, P = .001), compared to ileostomy in the elective group (58.9%, P = .001). Complications were observed in 135 of all patients (36%).

Translation and back translation, face and content validity, construct validation, and reliability assessment of the T-OSCI and the T-CC-OSCI were performed. Exploratory factor analysis was used to evaluate the construct validity. Reliability was established using Cronbach α coefficients, ceiling and floor effects, and the Hotelling T2 test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, and intraclass correlation coefficient.Results: Content validity values were in the range of 0.85 to 1 for both the T-OSCI and the T-CC-OSCI. Exploratory factor analysis demonstrated generally acceptable factor loadings. The overall index revealed a high level of internal consistency (T-OSCI = 0.968, T-CC-OSCI = 0.862). No statistically significant difference was found between test-retest measurements. There was no indication of either ceiling or floor effects, or response bias.Conclusion: The T-OSCI and the T-CC-OSCI are valid and reliable indexes to measure the self-care of patients with an ostomy and their caregivers. These indexes may allow health care professionals to evaluate self-care in research and clinical settings, identify educational needs, and collaborate in developing and supporting appropriate self-care initiatives for patients with an ostomy and their caregivers.","PeriodicalId":23741,"journal":{"name":"Wound management & prevention","volume":"70 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141499152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
