Questions
(Qualitative)
/Hypothesis
(Quantitativ
e), and
Purposes/Ai
m of Study
The research
questions include the
prevalence of HAPU
before and after
intervention and the
risk factors. The
purpose of this study
was to determine the
efficiency of
multifaceted
interventions in
prevention of
pressure sores in the
elderly to find which
method is effective.
The purpose of the study is
to look for the risk factors,
demographics and clinical
care in patients in risk of
pressure ulcers.
The purpose of
the study is to
measure the
effectiveness of
silicone foam
dressing in
preventing
pressure ulcers
in critical
patients.
The aim of this
systematic
review is to
find out how
much pressure
relieving
mattresses are
successful in
preventing
pressure ulcers.
Design (Type
of
Quantitative,
or Type of
Qualitative)
Qualitative data was
collected. It consists
of an evaluation
prospective research
design.
The study was conducted
by a retrospective
longitudinal study.
The study is an
open
randomized
controlled trial.
The research
collected
secondary data
from databases
like CINAHL,
MEDLINE and
EMBASE.
Setting/
Sample
The sample consisted
of 486 patients in
long term care.
The sample consisted of
90 patients with among
half of them having
pressure ulcers.
The sample
consisted of the
patients
admitted in ED
due to critical
injuries. There
were 220
patients in each
group.
59 studies were
collected and
similar studies
were pooled.
Any patient
group was
considered.

Data was analyzed via use
of t-test and chi-square.

Recommend
ations
A multifaceted care
routine must be
undertaken to prevent
pressure ulcers in
elderly patients.
Integration of all possible
interventions in older
patients is the best way to
prevent pressure ulcers.
The use of
multi-layered
soft dressings on
critical patients
can prevent
pressure ulcers.
Alternating the
normal bedding
for softer and
pressure-
relieving
mattresses will
reduce the
chances of the
patient
developing
pressure sores.

of How the
Article
Supports
EBP/Capsto
ne Project
The article shows that
skin care is
successful in
preventing HAPU in
elderly patients.
This article shows that all
the available interventions
must be used for the best
results.
Even though the
article was not
focused on
elderly patients
only, it showed
that application
of these
bandages are
beneficial.
This article
showed the
general
effectiveness of
better suited
bedding in
lowering the
risk of pressure
ulcers via a
systematic
review, which
has very high
reliability.
