Abstract This study aims to evaluate the microclimate and development of pressure ulcers superficial skin changes. A prospective cohort was conducted in an acute care ward Indonesia. Risk factors for changes were identified based on Bergstrom Braden conceptual model. Microclimate data collected every 3 days 15 while observed day. Pressure developed 20 71 participants. Total mean difference temperature higher patients with (0·9 ± 0·6°C) compared controls (0·6 0·8°C) ( P = 0·071). Binary...

This study reviews the validity and reliability of DESIGN, a tool for classifying pressure ulcer severity monitoring progression towards healing. Only tool's healing component was evaluated.Inter-rater evaluated by calculating agreement rate scores, based on eight photos ulcers six actual ulcers, made panel seven nurses. Validity assessed, using same photos, comparing DESIGN scores with those validated Pressure Sore Status Tool (PSST).The inter-rater results showed high correlation r = 0.98...

Abstract Aims and objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the predictive validity accuracy of a new pressure ulcer risk assessment scale in two Indonesia intensive care units (ICUs). Background: Several scales have been designed identify patients at developing ulcers ICU. However, relative weight each variable that contributes development these is not described enable designing scale. Currently, factors contributing include interface pressure, body temperature cigarette smoking. Design: A...

Aims and objectives. A reduction of pressure ulcer wound area is one the most important indicators healing. measurement system (VISITRAK TM ), which calculates based on simple tracings wounds, has been developed as a practical tool for assessing at bedside. However, its accuracy remained to be clarified in clinical setting. This study aimed clarify VISITRAK system. Design. descriptive correlational study. Methods. Intra‐ inter‐rater reliability measuring techniques were calculated using an...

Physical and psychosocial characteristics related to are associated with HRQOL. This study aimed assess HRQOL in those patients undergoing determine factors Methods: was a cross‐sectional, observational that included 83 primary at an outpatient clinic for lymphedema. assessed Medical Outcomes Study 36‐Item Short Form Survey...

Abstract Background Lymphoedema is a globally neglected health care problem and common complication following breast cancer treatment. well-known predisposing factor for cellulitis, but few have investigated the risk factors cellulitis in this patient cohort on an international level. The aim of study was to identify frequency patients with lymphoedema arm, including potential cellulitis. Methods An international, multi-centre, cross-sectional clinically assessed arm lymphoedema. primary...

Abstract The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors associated with the presence pressure ulcer development in adult patients at an intensive care unit hospital Indonesia. prospective cohort design conducted study. A total 105 participated and a developed 35 patients. initial analysis identified several variables as significant for (interface pressure, fecal incontinence, skin moisture, diastolic blood smoking body temperature). However, when entered into final multivariate...

Abstract There are few clinical tools with both predictive validity for pressure ulcer healing and availability in broad populations. We evaluated whether the total scores from DESIGN ‐ R tool could predict healing. followed 3,196 patients ulcers two multicenter cohort studies until wound healing, patient death, or discharge. Wound severity was by 0 (healed) to 66 (greatest severity). In multivariate C ox proportional hazard model, higher at baseline were associated lower rates (hazard ratio...

This study examined prevalence active RH Indonesian adolescents.A cross-sectional was conducted 1,040 students who were selected through a multi-stage random sampling technique. A self-administered questionnaire developed, including World Health Organization Illustrative Questionnaire for Interview-Surveys with Young People, pubertal...

A common complication in patients with incontinence is perineal skin lesions, which are recognized as a form of dermatitis. In these patients, exposed to digestive enzymes and intestinal bacterial flora, well excessive water. The relative contributions flora lesion formation have not been fully shown.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that obese diabetic mice exhibit marked skin fragility, which is caused by increased oxidative stress and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) gene expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue. Scanning electron microscopy samples from Tsumura‐Suzuki (TSOD) revealed thinner collagen bundles, decreased density convolution fibres. Furthermore, tensile strength measurements confirmed dorsal TSOD more fragile force than non‐obese mice. mRNA...
