Critical illness often leads to acute pain and mental illness in ICU patients after leaving hospital, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Therefore, medical staff should evaluate the psychological distress of ICU patients during hospitalization. In this study, we reviewed the developed acute psychological distress assessment tools for ICU patients, refined the main content, application scope and application status of screening tools, and analyzed their respective characteristics and shortcomings. The objective is to provide empirical reference for the development of acute psychological distress assessment tools for ICU patients in China and the development of scientific, reasonable and targeted interventions for medical staff in the future.
ABSTRACT
The sacrum is a common site of stress injury. The occurrence of pressure ulcers not only leads to the aggravation of the patient′s condition, the prolongation of hospital stay, the increase of medical costs, the decline of life quality, but also aggravates the burden of society, family and medical staff. Early reasonable and effective application of sacral dressing can prevent the occurrence of pressure injury. In this study, the characteristics and effectiveness of different types of sacral dressings were reviewed by reviewing relevant literatures at home and abroad and summarizing the existing relevant studies, so as to provide guidance for clinical application.
