Influences of evidence-based nursing intervention on pressure ulcers in intensive care units: A meta-analysis.
International Wound Journal 2024 April
A meta-analysis was conducted comprehensively to investigate the impact of evidence-based nursing (EBN) interventions on pressure injury (PI) in the intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Computer searches were performed, from databases inception to November 2023, in Wanfang, PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Google Scholar, Embase, and Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on the application of EBN interventions in ICU patients. Two independent researchers conducted screenings of the literature, extracted data, and carried out quality evaluations. Stata 17.0 software was employed for data analysis. Overall, 25 RCTs, involving 2494 ICU patients, were included. It was found that compared to conventional care methods, the implementation of EBN interventions in ICU patients markedly decreased the occurrence of PI (odds ratio [OR]: 0.22, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.17-0.30, p < 0.001), delayed the onset time of pressure ulcers (standardized mean difference [SMD]: -1.61, 95% CI: -2.00 to -1.22, p < 0.001), and also improved nursing satisfaction (OR: 1.18, 95% CI: 1.14-1.23, p < 0.001). Our findings suggest the implementation of EBN interventions in the care of PI in ICU patients is highly valuable, can reduce the occurrence of PI, can delay the time of appearance, and is associated with relatively higher nursing satisfaction, making it worthy of promotion.
