Factors affecting the development of incontinence dermatitis among patients in intensive care unit.
Journal of Tissue Viability 2024 April 12
AIM: This research was conducted to determine the factors affecting the development of incontinence-associated dermatitis in intensive care patients.
METHODS: The sample of the study consisted of 114 intensive care patients who developed incontinence-associated dermatitis. Patients were followed for a minimum of 8 days. The 'Patient Information Form' and the 'Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis and Severity Instrument (IADSI)' were used for data collection. The data were collected between February and May 2022. Ethics committee approval was obtained for the research. In the evaluation of the data, SPSS for Windows (Version 24.0, Statistical Package for Social Sciences) program was used.
RESULTS: It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in the mean IADSI score between day 1 (17.79 ± 6.06) and day 8 (27.35 ± 9.55). Statistically significant differences were found between mean IADSI score and gender, status of smoking and alcohol use, chronic disease status, regular medication use, type and level of nutrition, defecation characteristics and number, presence of infection, presence of urinary and fecal incontinence, mobility and sweating status, body and defecation hygiene, age and BMI (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The day 8 IADSI scores are considered to be evidence of the rapid progress of IAD after its development. It is important to know the risk factors associated with IAD in order to recognize the risk factors before IAD develops and to take possible precautions for these risk factors.
