| Popis: | Background There is a significant focus on pressure injury prevention to promote better patient outcomes and control health care cost. Local problem In 2016, the institution's pressure injury quarterly prevalence survey showed that two-thirds of the patients surveyed who developed unit-acquired pressure injury stage 2 and greater were in the adult intensive care units. Methods The quality improvement project used a pre- and postintervention design. Interventions The adult medical intensive care unit (MICU) executed a competency-based education project to increase staff implementation of pressure injury prevention. Results Following initiation of competency-based education, staff documentation of pressure injury prevention implementation increased, and unit-acquired pressure injury stage 2 and greater rates were reduced. Conclusions The use of a competency-based education program may be effective in increasing pressure injury prevention in the intensive care unit. |
