RESUMO
Objective@#To investigate whether it can reduce the incidence of pressure ulcer caused by ICU equipment, when nurses in ICU use the SKIN model framework to carry out preventive and nursing measures.@*Methods@#To construct the teaching group of nursing workshop based on SKIN mode for preventing pressure ulcer caused by ICU equipment and train 36 ICU nurses. Before and after training course, to collect the behaviors of preventing pressure ulcer caused by ICU equipment during clinical work time and the incidence and severity of pressure ulcer.@*Results@#The nurses′ behaviors of controlling skin status of patients who use Bi-level positive airway pressure non-invasive mask and evaluating nutritional status of patients change a lot (χ2=34.420,10.123, P <0.01). The nurses′ behaviors of checking and evaluating skin status of patients who have stomach tube to reduce skin pressure, shear and friction and assessing nutritional status of patients were improved (χ2=7.547-49.451, P <0.05). The nurses′ behaviors mentioned above of nursing patients who have oral air tube were also changed significantly (χ2=5.225, 23.402, 12.444, P<0.05 or 0.01). The incidence of pressure ulcer caused by ICU equipment dropped from 2.86%(100/3 502) to 1.87%(67/3 580) (χ2=7.445, P<0.05). The decrease in incidence of Ⅱand Ⅲ grade pressure ulcer are from 48%(48/100) to 22.39%(15/67) and 34%(34/100) to 7.46%(5/67) respectively and had significant differences as well (χ2=11.202, 15.784, P<0.01).@*Conclusions@#This study explains the training approach based on SKIN mode of prevention of pressure ulcer caused by ICU equipment. The results show that the training approach can decrease the incidence and severity of pressure ulcer caused by ICU equipment, improve the nurses′ nursing behaviors and promote the transform of theory related to pressure ulcer from basement to clinical reality.
