Cluster nursing in prevention and treatment of incontinence dermatitis in patients with diarrhea in ICU

  Objective  To observe the effect of cluster nursing in the prevention and treatment of incontinence dermatitis in patients with diarrhea in ICU.

  Methods  One hundred patients with diarrhea in ICU admitted to our hospital were randomly divided into two groups, with 50 patients in each group. The control group used traditional skin care and the observation group additionally used cluster nursing. The application effects of two kinds of nursing methods were evaluated.

  Results  The incidence of incontinence dermatitis in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05), and the severity of incontinence dermatitis in the observation group was significantly lighter than that in the control group (P < 0.05), the healing time and daily nursing time in the observation group were significantly shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05).

  Conclusion  Cluster therapy used in the prevention and treatment of incontinence dermatitis in patients with ICU diarrhea can effectively reduce the incidence of incontinence dermatitis, promote the healing of incontinence dermatitis, and shorten the nursing time.
