失禁性皮膚炎為重症單位常見皮膚破損原因之一,本單位2012年1-6月失禁性皮膚炎發生率為34.6%有偏高情形,因此護理人員能儘早評估和提供適當照護措施,是非常重要的。發生此問題主要原因為:無三班追蹤、照護方式不一致、無照護評估檢核表、無在職教育、不清楚失禁性皮膚炎的高危險群及軟膏使用時機。解決方案包括:訂定「高危險失禁性皮膚炎病患照護檢核表」、高危險失禁性皮膚炎照護流程及舉辦教育訓練,可落實評估和追蹤,並提升護理人員對失禁性皮膚炎的認知和照護技巧達一致性。執行本專案後失禁性皮膚炎發生率降至21.5%,達本專案目的。未來可推廣到各病房,以降低住院病人失禁性皮膚炎發生率。
Incontinence-associated dermatitis is common skin damage in intensive care units. The incidence of the studied unit from January to June 2012 was 34.6% and required prompt improvement interventions. Deficiencies noted were lack of nursing follow-up among three shifts, inconsistent care, lack of a standardized assessment checklist, lack of staff training, lack of recognition of high-risk population, and when to use skin protective ointment. Resolutions included establishing a checklist for "high risk for incontinence-associated dermatitis patient care," a flow chart outlining the care process, staff education and training, an evaluation and tracking program, and enhancing caregiver's cognitive and care skills for incontinence-dermatitis. The incidence reduced to 21.5%. The goal is to extend this project to all intensive care units to reduce incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis.
