ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the nursing effect of irritant dermatitis around drains after debridement of infected pancreatic necrotic tissue.Methods:A total of 108 patients with post-infectious pancreatic necrosis tissue debridement drains were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 54 patients in each group according to the time of hospital admission. The control group was given routine care and the experimental group was given stepped skin care, including education and training, assessment, skin preparation, and skin protectants and the use of disposable urinary ostomy bags, and the effect was evaluated.Results:The incidence of irritant dermatitis was 20.4% (22/54) in the test group and 40.7% (11/54) in the control group, with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups ( χ2 value was 5.280, P < 0.05); 4 cases (36.36%) were cured in the experimental group, 5 cases (45.45%) in class I, 2 cases (18.18%) in class Ⅱ, 0 cases in class Ⅲ, and 0,13 cases (59.09%), 8 cases (36.36%), 1 case (4.54%) in the control group, respectively. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2 value was 8.353, P < 0.05); In the experimental group, the duration of dermatitis incidence and total nursing time during hospitalization were (18.00 ± 2.25)d and (12.69±1.96)h, respectively, compared with (12.13±5.84)d and (15.79±2.09)h in the control group, which were statistically significant between the two groups ( t value was 29.167, -2.791, all P<0.05); the total cost of care in the experimental group was (570.38 ± 88.01)yuan and (448.79±59.44)yuan in the control group, the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant ( t value was -0.372, P>0.05). Conclusion:The stepped skin care protocol can reduce the incidence of infected pancreatic necrosis after tissue debridement and improve caregivers′ work efficiency.
