Study on the effect of new dressings combined with traditional methods based on the concept of wet healing in the treatment of stress injuries in the elderly
Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of new dressings in conjunction with traditional methods for treating stress injuries in elderly patients.The goal is to provide a foundation for the clinical optimization of treatment strategies for this demographic.Methods A total of 120 elderly patients with stress injuries sustained at home between March 2021 and February 2023 were randomly assigned to an observation group(n=60)and a control group(n=60).Patients in the control group received traditional treatment methods,while those in the observation group were treated with new dressings in conjunction with wet healing theory,building upon the traditional methods.The clinical efficacy of both groups was compared,focusing on the 14-day wound healing rate,14-day total effective rate,healing time,and patient satisfaction.Results After treatment,the 14-day healing rate for the observation group was 63.3％(38/60),compared to 41.7％(25/60)for the control group.This indicates that the healing rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group(x2=5.647,P＜0.05).The total effective rate for the observation group was 98.3％(59/60)at 14 days,while the control group had a rate of 86.7％(52/60).Again,the total effective rate in the observation group surpassed that of the control group(x2=4.342,P＜0.05).No significant difference was observed in wound healing time between the two groups for patients with stage 1 stress inj uries(P＞0.05).For patients with stage 2 stress injuries,the wound healing time was(13.75±1.71)days in the observation group and(22.16±2.59)days in the control group,with the observation group demonstrating a significantly shorter healing time(t=-12.024,P＜0.05).In patients with stage 3 and stage 4 stress injuries,the healing time was(16.17±1.47)days for the observation group and(25.12±2.91)days for the control group,also showing a significantly shorter duration in the observation group(t=-11.382,P＜0.05).However,there was no significant difference in satisfaction scores between the two groups after treatment(P＞0.05).Conclusions The application of traditional methods,combined with a new dressing based on the concept of wet healing,demonstrates significant clinical effectiveness for elderly patients with stress injuries.This approach effectively shortens wound healing time and alleviates pain,warranting comprehensive clinical promotion.
