Effect of Varying Repositioning Frequency on Pressure Injury Prevention in Nursing Home Residents: TEAM-UP Trial Results
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinical effectiveness of three nursing-home-wide repositioning intervals (2-, 3-, or 4-hour) without compromising pressure injury (PrI) incidence in 4 weeks.
METHODS
An embedded pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in nine nursing homes (NHs) that were randomly assigned to one of three repositioning intervals. Baseline (12 months) and 4-week intervention data were provided during the TEAM-UP (Turn Everyone And Move for Ulcer Prevention) study. Intervention residents were without current PrIs, had PrI risk (Braden Scale score) ≥10 (not severe risk), and used ...

Assessment of the Difficulties Experienced by Individuals with Intestinal Stomas: A Qualitative Study
CONCLUSIONS
Most individuals experienced sleep pattern disturbances; faced issues in their relationships with family and friends due to physiologic and psychological distress; received no training for stoma care, diet, or sexual life; could not cope with issues related to the stoma; and faced financial difficulties in procuring stoma bags and care products.

Systematic Review of Ostomy Care Pathways
CONCLUSIONS
Ostomy care pathways included preoperative education and counseling, postoperative education and discharge planning, and outpatient home visits and telephone follow-ups. Ostomy care pathways may contribute to patient satisfaction and decrease both hospital length of stay and hospital readmission rates. However, higher-quality literature is needed to be confident in the effectiveness of ostomy care pathways. (Source: Advances in Skin and Wound Care)

Characteristics of Nursing Home Resident Movement Patterns: Results from the TEAM-UP Trial
OBJECTIVE
To determine movement patterns of nursing home residents, specifically those with dementia or obesity, to improve repositioning approaches to pressure injury (PrI) prevention.
METHODS
A descriptive exploratory study was conducted using secondary data from the Turn Everyone And Move for Ulcer Prevention (TEAM-UP) clinical trial examining PrI prevention repositioning intervals. K-means cluster analysis used the average of each resident’s multiple days’ observations of four summary mean daily variables to create homogeneous movement pattern clusters. Growth mixture models examined movement pattern cha...

Reducing the Incidence and Prevalence of Pressure Injury in Adult ICU Patients with Support Surface Use: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION
Support surface use is limited, and no particular type is proven to be superior to others. Clinicians should select support surfaces based on their therapeutic features and how well they meet the patient’s particular needs. (Source: Advances in Skin and Wound Care)
