Abstract
Objective To explore the effect of improved skin cleaning method combined with Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis Intervention Tool (IADIT) in the treatment of incontinence-associated dermatitis in critically ill patients. Methods By convenience sampling, we selected the patients in Peking University Third Hospital as subjects. A total of 92 critically ill patients with fecal incontinence from March 2017 to February 2018 were set as the control group while 63 critically ill patients with fecal incontinence from March 2018 to February 2019 were set as the experimental group. Patients in the control group received routine care, and those in the experimental group received IADIT care. The incidence, curative effects and healing time of incontinence-associated dermatitis were compared between the two groups. Results After the intervention, the incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis in the experimental group was 30.16% (19/63) , which was lower than 44.57% (41/92) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05) . The effective rate of incontinence-associated dermatitis in the experimental group was 94.74% (18/19) , which was higher than 65.86% (27/41) in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05) . The healing time of incontinence-associated dermatitis in the experimental group was (6.33±3.14) d, which was lower than (11.55±3.41) d in the control group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.01) . Conclusions Compared with traditional empirical nursing methods, targeted interventions based on IADIT for critically ill patients with fecal incontinence can effectively reduce the incidence of incontinence-associated dermatitis, improve the cure rate of incontinence-associated dermatitis and shorten the healing time.
