Factors association Medical Device Related Pressure Injury in Public University Hospital: A Retrospective Study
Keywords:
Medical Device Related Pressure Injury, Factors, Fever, MalnutritionAbstract
This study aimed to incidence and identify factors associated with Medical Device Related Pressure Injury (MDRPI) among patients admitted to a public university hospital. The sample consisted of 230 patients who were hospitalized during October 1– September 30, 2022, 115 patients with MDRPI and 115 patients who used medical device, non MDRPI and met inclusion criteria. Data were collected retrospectively from medical records via electronic medical records. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis.
The results found that the incidence of pressure injury related medical devices was 0.597 per 1,000 patient-days. The majority of MDRPI occurred in the ear area (30.4 %). The most common stages of MDRPI were Stage 2 (41.7%), mostly caused by wearing a CPAP BIPAP mask (20.9%). The revealed that the most important factor associated with MDRPI is patients with fever, there was a 2.57times chance of developing pressure injury (OR =2.57, p< .05), followed by patients with malnutrition having a 1.63 times chance of developing MDPRI (OR = 1.63, p< .05). The results of this study can be used as information for planning and developing guidelines for the prevention and care of patients at risk of MDRPI to increase the quality of effective nursing care.
