The Effectiveness of Two Nursing Programs on the Surgery-related Pressure Injury

Introduction: This study was to compare the differences in the incidence, grade, and time of surgery-related pressure injuries between the two interventions; and describe the locations of surgery-related pressure injuries between the two interventions. Methods: This study adopted a true experimental research design with a convenience sampling method from the operating rooms of a teaching hospital in a northern region. The experimental group was randomly assigned by block to receive intervention A (full bed silicone mattress plus other measures), and the control group received intervention B (full bed silicone mattress plus usual care). Measurements include basic personal attributes, risk factors, grade, time, and location of occurrence related to surgery-related pressure injuries.
