Development of educational material for the prevention and treatment of friction injuries

Abstract

Objective: to develop and validate an educational booklet to help health professionals to prevent and treat friction injuries. Method: methodological study. An integrative review of the literature of journals published between 2009 and 2019 was carried out in the main databases of Health Sciences. The evaluation of the educational booklet was conducted with 32 nurses, using the Delphi technique. The statistical analysis used was the Content Validity Index. Results: the judges considered the content of the educational booklet between the concepts “inadequate” and “adequate”, in the first assessment; after the corrections requested by the judges, the booklet was forwarded to the evaluators and the content of the educational booklet was rated between “adequate” and “totally adequate”. The overall Content Validity Index was 0.8118 in the first assessment and 1.0 in the second assessment. Conclusion: after the integrative literature review, the material was constructed and validated by professionals with experience in evaluating and treating individuals with wounds, obtaining consensus among the evaluators in the second evaluation.

A Booklet on the Assessment, Prevention, and Treatment of Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis

“…Educational materials on skin lesions need to be based on scientific evidence (eg, articles with clinical relevance) that provides reliable information about technical, clinical, administrative, and financial procedures to improve care and reduce treatment costs. 22,23 This booklet was developed and structured after an integrative review of the literature and sent to the expert panel to be evaluated for effectiveness and functionality and validated using the Delphi technique. 10,13 The evaluators had the opportunity to comment on points they thought should be improved in the booklet content.…”

“…12 The booklet was constructed based on the principles of development of booklets and protocols on healthcare. [8][9][10]13 The author observed in clinical practice that many health professionals had difficulty diagnosing, prescribing preventive measures, and treating patients with IAD or with risk factors for this condition. The study was conceived to address gaps in knowledge observed among healthcare professionals during daily clinical practice in long-term care facilities and primary healthcare services.…”

“…It is important to develop educational materials, including manuals, booklets, mobile applications, algorithms, and protocols on the care and prevention of IAD complications. [7][8][9][10] Printed educational materials provide theoretical support for healthcare professionals and help guide the clinical examination, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, and preventive measures. A booklet may contribute to the daily clinical practice of healthcare professionals who care for patients with or at risk for IAD, reducing risks and adverse events and enhancing providers' ability to deliver appropriate information about IAD to patients, family members, and caregivers.…”

“…Printed materials are also a valuable tool to reinforce verbal or written instructions given to patients and caregivers on hospital discharge. [7][8][9][10][11] The aim of this study was to develop and validate a booklet for healthcare professionals on the risk assessment, prevention, and treatment of IAD.…”

Identificação do perfil do paciente com Skin Tears em internação hospitalar – contribuições para o planejamento do cuidado

“…Por essa razão, é de extrema importância que o enfermeiro faça uma avaliação da pele do paciente no momento da sua admissão e identifique os fatores de risco que contribuem para o desenvolvimento das lesões por fricção. A partir disso, é necessário que sejam elaboradas estratégias voltadas para práticas de cuidados centradas na prevenção e tratamento das LF através de templates com base científica favorecendo a assistência de enfermagem (Salomé, 2020).…”
