The design and application of foot pressure injury prevention device for bedridden stroke patients
Objective To observe the clinical effect of the preventive device for foot stress injury in bedridden patients with stroke.Methods A total of 166 patients with stroke who were hospitalized in the department of intensive care unit(ICU)of Hangzhou First People's Hospital from March 2021 to March 2022 were selected as the study subjects.The experimental design of the quantitative study was adopted,and the patients were divided into the control group(ICU 4th floor patients)and the observation group(ICU 5th floor patients)according to the different ward of ICU,with 83 cases in each group.Nurses were also grouped according to this method(41 in observation group,43 in control group).Both groups received conventional treatment and nursing care to prevent pressure injury.The control group was depressurized by sponge ring or existing pillow,and the foot sagging was prevented by T-shoe lined towel.The observation group used the self-designed and developed foot pressure injury prevention device for bedridden patients.The incidence of foot stress injury and foot drop,as well as the satisfaction of patients with using the preventive device for foot stress and the satisfaction of nurses with operating the preventive device for foot stress were observed.Results The incidence of foot pressure injury and foot drop in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group[incidence of foot pressure injury:3.61%(3/83)vs.8.43%(7/83),the incidence of foot drop:9.64%(8/83)vs.16.87%(14/83),both P<0.05].The satisfaction of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group[91.6%(76/83)vs.79.5%(66/83),P<0.05],and nurse satisfaction in the observation group was higher than that in the control group[95.1%(39/41)vs.86.0%(37/43)],but there was no significant difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion The foot stress injury prevention device is suitable for patients with severe stroke in bed,which can effectively reduce the incidence of stress injury and foot drop,improve the satisfaction of patients and operators,and is worthy of clinical promotion.
