Article Synopsis
- Surgical wound complications, particularly surgical site infections and wound dehiscences, significantly impact the health of pediatric patients, especially those treated for non-idiopathic scoliosis.
- This study aims to assess the cost-effectiveness of using incisional negative pressure wound therapy compared to traditional dressing methods in preventing these complications in children after surgery.
- Results show a notable reduction in complications, with 7.7% in the intervention group versus 38.5% in the control group, indicating that negative pressure wound therapy could be a beneficial preventive measure in this context.
Objective: To calculate the prevalence of physical restraint (PR) use in Spanish PICUs and (2) to analyze the correlation between the prevalence of PR use and the sociodemographic, clinical variables of the patients and the PICU structural and organizational variables.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter prevalence study from January 2022 to January 2023 in Spanish PICUs. The method of data collection was by direct observation, review of the patient's medical history, and asking the professionals involved in the patient's care.
Objectives: To determine the intention to use physical restraint (PR) and the relationship with sociodemographic and professional variables of the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) nurses.
Research Methodology/design And Setting: A multicentre and correlational study was carried out from October 2021 to December 2023 in five paediatric intensive care units from five maternal and child hospitals in Spain. The Paediatric Physical Restraint-Theory of Planned Behaviour Questionnaire was provided.
Background: Physical restraint is applied in pediatric intensive care units to carry out certain painful procedures and to ensure the maintenance and continuity of life support devices. There is a need to analyse the factors that influence the behaviour or intention to use physical restraint.
Aim: To create and test psychometrically a paediatric version of the Physical Restraint-Theory of Planned Behaviour Questionnaire to assess paediatric critical care nurses' intention to use physical restraint.
