Impact assessment of a skin injury prevention protocol on the clinical outcomes of illness care unit patients

INTERVENTION: SP2.840.385.619 This is a randomized controlled trial. 92 patients will be randomized and divided into two groups, from a computer‐generated numerical sequence. Experimental group: 46 patients admitted to the intensive care unit will receive care to prevent pressure injury defined by a protocol developed for this study and will evaluate these patients for 10 consecutive days after inclusion in the study, for the evaluation of outcomes. Control group: 46 patients admitted to the intensive care unit will receive standard care from the unit for the prevention of pressure injury and will also be evaluated for 10 consecutive days after inclusion in the study for the evaluation of outcomes. The specific protocol of this study and standard care were randomly offered over 10 days CONDITION: C17.800.893.665 Critical care PRIMARY OUTCOME: Expected Outcome 1: 50% reduction in the incidence of pressure injuries by applying the injury prevention protocol. Outcome Found 1: Reduction in 65.3% of the incidence of pressure injuries by applying the injury prevention protocol. SECONDARY OUTCOME: Secondary outcomes are not expected INCLUSION CRITERIA: Age 18 years or older; Admission time in critical care units < 24h; Not having pressure ulcer at the time of the first evaluation; Present score on the Cubbin and Jackson Scale = 29 points; To agree to participate in the study voluntarily or by authorization of caregivers or family members, with the signing of the Free and Informed Consent Form
