Pressure injuries are a common problem for patients in hospitals, leading to significant discomfort and longer recovery times. These injuries can be difficult to treat and can cause both physical and emotional distress for patients. They also significantly increase the costs associated with healthcare due to prolonged hospital stays and the intensive care they require. This study focuses on developing a nursing care bundle, which is a set of evidence-based practices designed to prevent pressure injuries. By implementing this care bundle, the study aims to improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and enhance the quality of care provided by nurses. Participants in this study will be involved in testing the new nursing care bundle. This care bundle will be based on existing research and best practices, and it will include a series of standardized care procedures. Nurses will apply these procedures to prevent pressure injuries in patients. The success of the care bundle will be measured by observing any reduction in the rates of pressure injuries among patients receiving care. Additionally, the study will evaluate whether the use of the care bundle helps in reducing the costs associated with treating pressure injuries. This approach is expected to promote teamwork and a consistent standard of care among healthcare professionals.

Treatment Groups

Study Objectives

2 intervention groups are designated in this study

This study does not include a placebo group

Treatment Groups

Group I

Experimental

A nursing care bundle will be applied to patients in the intervention group. The implementation status of the nursing interventions included in the care bundle for each patient will be observed by the researcher and recorded on the "Care Bundle Observer Form." Recording of the applications performed on the monitoring form will be encouraged.

Group II

Active Comparator

Patients in the control group will receive routine care related to pressure injury prevention administered by the institution. Routine care includes standard interventions such as checking pressure points at twice-daily shift changes, positioning every 2 hours, skin assessment, and wound assessment.
