J Adv Nurs 2024. [PMID: 38468151 DOI: 10.1111/jan.16140] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Revised: 02/14/2024] [Accepted: 02/22/2024] [Indexed: 03/13/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) pose significant challenges in healthcare and cause increased patient suffering, longer hospital stays, and higher healthcare costs. Paediatric patients face unique risks, but evidence remains scarce. This study aimed to identify and describe HAPI admission incidence and severity predictors in a large Australian children's hospital. METHODS This retrospective cohort study investigated all paediatric patients between January 2020 and December 2021 using a census approach. Demographic and clinical data including HAPI-related data were accessed from the incident monitoring and hospital administration databases. The incidence rate (per 1000 patient admissions) was calculated based on all admissions. Predictors of HAPI severity were identified using multivariable multinomial logistic regression. The study adhered to the STROBE guidelines for retrospective cohort studies. RESULTS The HAPI incidence rate was 6.96 per 1000 patient admissions. Of the age groups, neonates had the highest HAPI incidence (15.5 per 1000 admissions). Critically ill children had the highest rate for admission location (12.8 per 1000 patient admissions). Most reported cases were stage I (64.2%). Age was associated with injury severity, with older paediatric patients more likely to develop higher-stage HAPIs. Additionally, Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander patients had a higher HAPI severity risk. CONCLUSION HAPI injuries in paediatric patients are unacceptably high. Prevention should be prioritized, and the quality of care improved in Australia and beyond. Further research is needed to develop targeted prevention strategies for these vulnerable populations. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND PATIENT CARE This research emphasizes the need for standardized reporting, culturally sensitive care and tailored prevention strategies. IMPACT The research has the potential to influence healthcare policies and practices, ultimately enhancing the quality of patient care. REPORTING METHOD STROBE guidelines. NO PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION There was no patient or public contribution to the conduct of this study.

Perceived barriers and facilitators to preventing hospital-acquired pressure injury in paediatrics: A qualitative analysis. J Adv Nurs 2023. [PMID: 38037540 DOI: 10.1111/jan.16002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 11/15/2023] [Accepted: 11/19/2023] [Indexed: 12/02/2023]
Abstract
AIM This qualitative study aimed to identify nurses' and allied health professionals' perceptions and experiences of providing hospital-acquired pressure injury (HAPI) prevention in a paediatric tertiary hospital in Australia, as well as understand the perceived barriers and facilitators to preventing HAPI. DESIGN A qualitative, exploratory study of hospital professionals was undertaken using semi-structured interviews between February 2022 and January 2023. METHODS Two frameworks, the Capability, Opportunity and Motivation Model of Behaviour (COM-B) and the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF), were used to give both theoretical and pragmatic guidance. Participants included 19 nursing and allied health professionals and data analysis was informed by the framework approach. RESULTS Analysis revealed nine core themes regarding professionals' beliefs about the barriers and facilitators to HAPI prevention practices across seven TDF domains. Themes included HAPI prevention skills and education, family-centred care, automated feedback and prompts, allocation and access to equipment, everybody's responsibility, prioritizing patients and clinical demands, organizational expectations and support, integrating theory and reality in practice and emotional influence. CONCLUSION These findings provide valuable insights into the barriers and facilitators that impact paediatric HAPI prevention and can help identify and implement strategies to enhance evidence-based prevention care and prevent HAPI in paediatric settings. IMPACT Overcoming barriers through evidence-based interventions is essential to reduce HAPI cases, improve patient outcomes, and cut healthcare costs. The findings have practical implications, informing policy and practice for improved preventive measures, education, and staffing in paediatric care, ultimately benefiting patient well-being and reducing HAPIs. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION No patient or public contribution. The focus of the study is on healthcare professionals and their perspectives and experiences in preventing HAPIs in paediatric patients. Therefore, the involvement of patients or the public was not deemed necessary for achieving the specific research objectives.

Abstract
PROBLEM To determine the pooled incidence and prevalence rate of medical device-related pressure injuries(MDRPIs) using the Braden QD scale, medical devices that frequently cause MDRPIs, and anatomical locations that are vulnerable to them. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA Using the Braden QD scale, being published in English between 01/01/2018-and 01/03/2023. METHODS This study was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis recommendations and registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews database (No: CRD42021276501). SAMPLE A total of 7 studies with 25,742 pediatric patients were included. RESULTS The pooled prevalence and cumulative incidence of hospital-acquired pressure injuries(HAPIs) were 7.8% (95% CI: 5.2-11.4%) and 3.9% (95% CI: 0.5-24.6%) respectively, and the incidence rate was 8.2/1000 person-days (95% CI: 2.4-14.2/1000 person-days). The pooled prevalence and cumulative incidence of MDRPIs were 7% (95% CI: 5.5-8.8%) and 5% (95% CI: 3.2-7.8%) respectively, and the incidence rate was 6.7/1000 person-days (95% CI, 0.11-13.4/1000 person-days). The most affected anatomical locations were the face (29.1%), ankle/foot (20.1%), and head (15.7%). Medical devices that frequently caused MDRPIs were external monitoring devices (24.5%), respiratory devices (22.8%), and supportive/securing devices (14.9%). CONCLUSIONS According to the current systematic review and meta-analyses, the incidence and prevalence of HAPIs and MDRPIs are moderate to high. IMPLICATIONS The findings suggested that healthcare providers should pay more attention to reducing HAPIs and MDRPIs and future studies should be conducted to understand their characteristics and risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressure injury (PI) is an essential indicator of the quality of nursing care and affects hospitalized newborns and children. However, studies on the prevalence of PI and associated risk factors in children are limited. AIMS This study aimed to analyze the prevalence of PI and risk factors affecting the development of PI in the hospitalized pediatric population. METHODS This was a descriptive, retrospective study. Data were obtained via electronic medical records of 6350 pediatric patients admitted to a university hospital between January 2019 and April 2022. Ethics committee approval was obtained. Patient medical records and data associated with PI and medical treatment were collected through the 'Information Form,' 'Braden Scale,' 'Braden Q Scale,' 'Pressure Ulcer Staging Form,' and 'Pediatric Nutrition Risk Score (PNRS).' Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis test, and Multilinear Regression analysis. RESULTS More patients (66.2%) were males, and 49.2% of the children were 0-12 months old. 2368 out of 6350 pediatric patients were treated in the PICU. It was determined that a total of 143 PI occurred in 59 patients from PICU. The PI prevalence was 2.25% for all patients and 6.04% for PICU patients. Twenty-one percent of the patients had medical device-related PI (MDRPIs), 35.7% of PI occurred in the occiput, 13.3% in the coccyx/sacrum, and 67.1% of PI was Deep Tissue Injury. In the multiple regression model, children's albumin level, hemoglobin level, PNRS scores, Body Mass Index, and length of hospital stay significantly affected BRADEN scores. They were explained 30.3% of their scores of Braden. CONCLUSION Despite the limitations of the retrospective study, the prevalence of PI in the pediatric population in this study was lower than that reported in previous studies, but the prevalence of MDRPIs was higher. Based on the study results, it is recommended to implement preventive interventions for MDRPIs and plan prospective studies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the effect of varying the frequency of monitoring electrode replacement on skin moisture and condition of infants hospitalized in the pediatric ICU. METHODS The population of the study consisted of 1- to 12-month-old infants receiving treatment in the pediatric ICU. The control group of the study (n = 33) included infants whose monitoring electrodes were replaced every 24 hours during monitoring, and the experimental group (n = 33) included infants whose monitoring electrodes were replaced every 12 and 24 hours during monitoring. Before assessment, the skin moisture of the monitoring areas was measured and evaluated with the Skin Condition Assessment Scale. RESULTS When the difference in skin moisture was compared for all measurement areas of the infants before monitoring and at the 24-hour mark, an increase in moisture was seen in both groups, and the difference in the experimental group was greater than that in the control group. Increased moisture is a risk factor for medical device-related pressure injuries. When comparing between-group differences in skin condition, the researchers noted a greater increase in skin condition score in the experimental group. An increased score indicates that the infant's skin condition is worsening. CONCLUSIONS Replacing the monitoring electrodes every 24 hours positively affected skin moisture and condition, whereas replacing them every 12 hours negatively affected skin moisture and condition.

Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the clinical features and incidence of Intraoperatively Acquired Pressure Injuries (IAPIs) of brain tumours in children, to screen the risk factors and to establish a nomogram model for making prevention strategies against the development of IAPIs. Clinical data of 628 children undergoing brain tumour surgery from August 2019 to August 2021 were extracted from the adverse events and the electronic medical systems. They were randomly divided into a training cohort(n = 471) and a validation cohort(n = 157). The univariate and multivariate analysis was performed to identify the risk factors in training cohort; R software was used to construct a nomogram model; the area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUC) and calibration plots were used to judge the predictive performance of the nomogram model; decision curve analysis (DCA) was used to assess the clinical usefulness of the nomogram model. Age, haemorrhage, use of vasopressor, temperature, operation time and operation position were considered as significant risk factors, and enrolled to construct a nomogram model. The results of AUC showed satisfactory discrimination of the nomogram; the calibration plots indicated favourable consistency between the prediction of the nomogram and actual observations in both the training and validation cohorts; DCA showed better net benefit and threshold probability of the nomogram model. The nomogram model illustrates significant predictive ability, which can provide scientific and individual guidance for preventing development of IAPIs.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 19:ijerph19095238. [PMID: 35564632 PMCID: PMC9105439 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph19095238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2022] [Revised: 04/21/2022] [Accepted: 04/24/2022] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
Background: Adverse events are indicators of patient safety and quality of care. Adverse events clearly have negative impacts on healthcare system costs. Organizational and unit characteristics are not very often studied in relation to adverse events. The aim of the study was to find the differences in the incidence of adverse events and healthcare-associated infections in hospitalized patients in Czech acute care hospitals according to type of hospital and type of unit. Methods: This cross-sectional multicentre study was conducted in 105 acute care medical and surgical units located in 14 acute care hospitals throughout the Czech Republic. The data on adverse events and healthcare-associated infections were reported monthly by nurse researchers. The data were collected from June 2020 to October 2020. Results: The incidence of healthcare-associated infections, pressure ulcers, and medication errors was significantly lower in large hospitals. Statistically significant differences have been further found between the incidence of pressure ulcers (<0.001), falls without injury (<0.001), and falls with injury (<0.001) in surgical and medical units. More pressure ulcers, falls without injury, and falls with injury have been reported in surgical units. Conclusion: The type of hospital and type of unit affected the incidence of adverse events at acute care hospitals. To reduce adverse events, a systematic adverse event measurement and reporting system should be promoted.
