A pressure ulcer is a common health problem, particularly among the physically limited or bedridden
individuals. The most vulnerable group to suffer this condition is the elderly. The prevalence of Geriatric
inpatient with pressure ulcer stage I, II, III or even IV for a month was 35.5% of the total admission. The
understanding of recovery process, prevention remains the best management strategy as it improves their
quality of life. This study aims to compare PU development outcomes in geriatric patients nursed on either
using the Durable barrier cream (Cavillon cream) or non-pharmacological intervention alone. Using the
Quasi experimental study-design, the selected participants were subjected to Cavaillon cream as well as the
intervention. The assessment used were the outcome of the pressure ulcer was assessed using the measured
size of the redness area. There was the statistically significant reduction in pressure ulcer size on day three
compared to the size on day one among the intervention group, z value was -5.028, p<0.005.A systematic
assessment and intervention were found to be effective in improving the healing process of the pressure
ulcers, while providing high satisfaction in the practiced setting. |
