ABSTRACT

Pressure ulcer is one of the most typical complications in clinical nursing, mainly appearing in bedridden patients with weak mobility or the elderly. They not only bring about patients' pain and prolonged hospitalization, but also may cause severe infection and even lead to death, causing a huge burden to the health system. At present, clinical pressure ulcer prevention and nursing exists problems such as very subjective evaluation of pressure ulcer risk, lack of targeted nursing intervention, and nursing quality inconsistency, making it hard to control the incidence of pressure ulcers effectively. This paper establishes the systematic nursing intervention based on the Braden scale. One aspect is to establish the standardized pressure ulcer risk assessment process. Another aspect is to design graded and personalized nursing intervention plan. The last aspect is to establish the comprehensive quality control and effectiveness evaluation mechanism. The prospective controlled study based on the system is conducted in 240 hospitalized patients. The results showed that the incidence of pressure ulcers in the observation group who received systematic nursing intervention based on the Braden scale was only 4%, while the incidence in the control group was 16%. In addition, no patients in the observation group developed pressure ulcers of stage II or above, while 4 patients in the control group developed severe pressure ulcers. The average length of hospital stay in the observation group was 11 days, which was 2 days shorter than that in the control group. It is indicated that nursing intervention based on the Braden scale can effectively reduce the risk of pressure ulcers and improve the quality of clinical nursing.
