Peristomal Pyoderma Gangrenosum in a Rectal Cancer Patient With an Ileostomy: A Case Study
CONCLUSIONS: Early diagnosis of PPG is imperative to avoid further extension of the lesion. Aggressive management with a multidrug treatment, both topical and systemic, is recommended in severe cases. Close monitoring of the response is necessary, given the variability in the effectiveness of the treatments. (Source: Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing)

Foot Health Assessment and Problem Identification in a Dominican Batey Community: A Descriptive Study
CONCLUSIONS: While the foot problems we observed were not considered serious, they could become progressively debilitating and be prevented with proper self-management guided by appropriate knowledge and skills and available supplies. We recommend the development and testing of foot care self-management interventions deliverable via mobile clinics to increase access and improve foot health outcomes.

Knowledge Gaps in the Etiology and Pathophysiology of Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis: A Scoping Review
PURPOSE: Incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) due to the prolonged exposure of the skin to urinary, fecal, or double incontinence represents a major clinical practice challenge. The aim of this review was to identify and critically appraise the results of published studies on the etiology and pathophysiology of IAD and highlight the current gaps in empirical evidence. METHODS: Scoping literature review. SEARCH STRATEGY: The electronic databases PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, MEDLINE, and Embase were searched for relevant articles published from 1996 to April 2018. Thirteen stu...

Compliance to Individualized Recommendations Based on an Evidence-Based Algorithm for Behavioral Management of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms
CONCLUSIONS: A majority of participants given fluid intake advice that is specific to their symptoms and lifestyle complied with recommendations. Simple guidance could usefully be given to patients before they are referred to specialist urological care or undergo urodynamic testing. (Source: Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing)

The Effects of Education About Urinary Incontinence on Nurses' and Nursing Assistants' Knowledge, Attitudes, Continence Care Practices, and Patient Outcomes: A Systematic Review
The aims of this systematic review were to describe, critique, and summarize research about the effects of education about urinary incontinence on nurses' and nursing assistants' knowledge and attitudes toward urinary incontinence, their continence care practices, and patient outcomes. We searched key electronic databases (PsycINFO, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library) for full-text primary research articles written in the English language and published between January 1990 and October 2018. Studies were included if they described a controlled or uncontrolled trial of an education program for nurses or nu...

Lessons Learned About Peristomal Skin Complications: Secondary Analysis of the ADVOCATE Trial
CONCLUSIONS: Ileostomy is associated with higher risk of a severe PSC and peristomal skin creases or folds. Patient follow-up should be on a structured schedule beyond the first few weeks after surgery because the likelihood of getting a PSC increases over time. This approach may help improve outcomes, particularly for those with an ileostomy and challenging skin contours. (Source: Journal of Wound, Ostomy and Continence Nursing)

Creating a Pediatric and Neonatal Pressure Injury Prevention Program When Evidence Was Sparse or Absent: A View From Here
Pressure injuries are a common occurrence in the pediatric population, but only within the past decade has prevention intervention been developed specifically for the pediatric patient. At the time of the safety collaborative described, pressure injuries in children were considered nonexistent. A safety collaborative was formed to see if the pressure injury prevention guidelines for adults could be adapted to the pediatric patient. The PDSA (plan-do-study-act) quality improvement model was utilized. The collaborative brought forth not only prevention interventions specifically for the pediatric population, but the work als...

Development of an Interdisciplinary Healthcare Team for Pressure Injury Management: A Quality Improvement Project
PURPOSE: The purpose of this quality improvement project was to create an interdisciplinary healthcare team for the management of patients with stage 3, stage 4, and unstageable pressure injuries (PIs), improve the communication among the interdisciplinary healthcare team, test the educational level of the nursing staff regarding PI management, and conduct quarterly PI prevalence surveys to decrease the rate of the hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs). PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING: Patients with stage 3, stage 4, and unstageable PIs in medical adult inpatient units of a private tertiary hospital located in the east...

Cardiopulmonary Bypass Duration and the Incidence of Pressure Injuries in Patients Undergoing Cardiovascular Surgery: A Retrospective Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: The CPB duration, use of vasoactive drugs, and presence of diabetes mellitus are independent risk factors for the development of PIs in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery with CPB. Our findings indicated that PI incidence increased incrementally with the duration of CPB. We recommend implementing measures to prevent PIs in cardiovascular surgical patients, especially those undergoing prolonged CPB, receiving vasoactive drugs, and diagnosed with diabetes.
