ABSTRACT
Objective Incontinence-associated dermatitis(IAD) is a common skin disease, but there is still lack of evidence on which kind of skin proctectant can provide effective prevention and cost reduction. The article aimed to explore the clinical effect and cost-effectiveness of two skin protectants based on structured skin care regimens in the nursing care of incontinent patients and provide evidence for effective prevention of IAD.Methods A total of 124 patients with incontinence were randomly selected and divided into observation group (62 cases) and control group (62 cases). On the basis of the structured skin care program which focused on incontinence management, cleansing and protection, the patients in the observation group were treated with the composite zinc oxide ointment for 7 days, while patients in control group were treated with ostomy powder combined with skin barrier film for 7 days. The main observation indicators were the incidence of IAD and the cost of nursing materials.Results All 62 patients in the observation group completed the study, while in the control group 2 patients fell off because of death and discharge from hospital and 60 patients completed the study. The per-protocol analysis showed that the incidences of IAD in two groups were 6.45% and 20.00%, the intention-to-treat analysis showed 6.45% and 22.58%, and there was significant difference between groups (P<0.05). The nursing cost of the observation group (239.71±48.55) was lower than that of control group (264.35±61.55), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The use of the composite zinc oxide ointment based on a structured skin care regimen can improve the preventive effect of IAD and reducing costs.

ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of OB built-in tampon indwelled in anus combined with acupoint massage in ICU patients with incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). Methods 100 patients with incontinence hospitalized in ICU were randomly assigned to control group (n=50) versus combined therapy group (n=50). The patients in the control group accepted routine nursing while the patients in the combined therapy group were treated with OB built-in tampon indwelled in anus combined with acupoint massage besides the routine nursing care. The two groups were compared in terms of incidence rate of IAD, IAD occurrence time, severity of IAD and incontinence-related nursing workload. Results The incidence rate of IAD and the severity of IAD in the combined therapy group were lower than those of the control group.The IAD in the combined therapy group occurred later than in the control group. Thetime for incontinence-related nursing and the frequency of perineum washing in the combined therapy group were shorter and lower than in the control group. Conclusions The application of OB built-in tampon indwelled in anus combined with acupoint massage in ICU patients with incontinence can not only reduce the incidence rate and severity of IAD but also lower the workload of nursing.The therapy is worthy of clinical application.

ABSTRACT
A Unidade de Terapia Intensiva (UTI) é o local destinado ao atendimento de pacientes graves e durante a internação esses estão expostos a diversos fatores que podem levar a ocorrência de danos na pele. Dentre esses danos, a dermatite associada à incontinência (DAI). O objetivo geral do estudo é analisar o problema da DAI em pacientes adultos internados em uma UTI de um hospital público de Belo Horizonte - MG. Já os objetivos principais foram:identificar na literatura os fatores de risco para DAI em pacientes adultos,caracterizar os pacientes que desenvolveram a DAI, estimar a incidência,determinar os fatores de risco de DAI na UTI e propor um modelo de predição de risco. Trata-se de um estudo realizado em três etapas: revisão integrativa(RI), grau de concordância e estudo de coorte concorrente. Os fatores de risco para DAI identificados na RI foram: idade, comorbidades, nutrição, oxigenação,perfusão, temperatura, incontinência fecal e/ou urinária, atrito mecânico, uso agentes irritantes, capacidade cognitiva. Obteve-se uma incidência global de20,4% e uma densidade de incidência de 2,5 casos/100 pessoas -dia. Foram encontrados 19 fatores de risco que apresentaram associação significativa coma DAI. No modelo final de predição de risco encontrou-se: sexo masculino,trauma, hipnótico/sedativos, lactulona, suporte nutricional, fezes pastosas e ardência. Os resultados mostraram que a DAI é um achado comum em pacientes internados em UTI adulto e por isso merece atenção especial para que se tenha melhoria na qualidade da assistência de enfermagem prestada a esses pacientes.
The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is the place for the care of critically ill patients during hospitalization and these are exposed to several factors that can lead to damage to the skin. Among such damage, dermatitis associated with incontinence (DAI). The overall objective of the study is to analyze the problemof DAI in adult patients admitted to the ICU of a public hospital in Belo Horizonte- MG. Since the main objectives were to identify the literature the risk factors forDAI in adult patients, to characterize patients who developed DAI estimate theincidence, determine the DAI risk factors in ICU and propose a risk prediction model. This is a study carried out in three stages: an integrative review (RI),degree of concordance and study concurrent cohort. The risk factors identifiedin DAI RI were age, comorbidities, nutrition, oxygenation, perfusion,temperature, fecal and / or urinary incontinence, mechanical friction, use irritants, cognitive ability. This yields an overall incidence of 20.4% and an incidence density of 2.5 cases / 100 person-days. They found 19 risk factors significantly associated with DAI. In the final model of risk prediction met: male,trauma, hypnotic / sedative, lactulona, nutritional support, loose stools and burning. The results showed that the DAI is a common finding in patients admitted to adult ICUs and therefore deserves special attention in order to have better quality of nursing care provided to these patients.

Univarate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis were conducted to compare the 11 indicators mentioned above between the two groups to find out the risk factors. Results The types of incontinence, diarrhea, damp frequency, diabetes, and antimicrobials species were significantly different between the two groups (χ2=4.317-17.404, P 3 times per day and/or stool is thin and watery then patients, diarrhea and hemorrhoids patients, diabetes prevalence > 10 years or the level of blood glucose control with poor patients attention,and take effective intervention measures, focusing on prevention and cure together.
ABSTRACT
Objective To identify the risk factors associated with incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) in ICU patients with enteral nutrition associated diarrhea (ENAD), and to provide information for taking evidence-based preventive measures. Methods We used a case-control study to collect data. Information of the patients (n=55) and controls (n=55) were retrieved from the medical records of 2 intensive care units (ICUs). The patients with IAD and the controls without IAD were matched with age, gender and ward. Information on disease-related information, perineal environment, drug use and nutritional status were collected. Results The simple factor analysis showed that the risks of IAD were related to coronary heart disease (CHD )(χ2=3.96), composite variable for perfusion (χ2=7.33), APACHE II score (χ2=9.87), FiO2 (Z=-2.96), artificial airway (χ2=93.91), ENAD days (Z=-5.45), stool property (χ2=8.46), antibacterial drug use (χ2=5.55), steroid medicine (χ2=11.34) and enteral nutrition days(Z=-3.33), P<0.05. Logistic regression analysis showed that FiO2(P<0.05,OR=1.03, OR95%CI=1.01-1.06), APACHE Ⅱscore(P<0.05,OR=3.12, OR95%CI=1.01-9.64)and ENAD days(P<0.01,OR=1.64, OR95%CI=1.29-2.10)was independent risk factors for IAD. Conclusions The higher of FiO2, APACHE II score over 15 points and the longer of ENAD days, patients are more likely to occur IAD. Early monitoring and prevention of IAD are recommended to promote skin health.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the effect of skin protective membrane, semi-transparent dressing and combination of the two in critically ill patients with incontinence associated dermatitis (IAD) skin protection. Methods A total of 114 patients who were admitted into ICU and NICU of Hebei Xingtai People′s Hospital from December 2013 to November 2014 were selected. These subjects were divided into 3 groups randomly. All three groups received routine skin care, on this basis, skin protective membrane group (34 cases) used skin protective membrane for skin protection, semi-transparent dressing group (40 cases) adopted semi-permeable dressing for skin protection, while the combination group (40 cases) used skin protective membrane combined with semi-transparent dressing for skin protection. The incidence, occurrence and severity of IAD in the three groups were compared. Results The incidence rate of IAD in the combination group was 20.0%(8/40), 20.6%(7/34) in the skin protective membrane group, and significantly lower than 47.5% (19/40) in the semi-transparent dressing group, the difference was significant ( χ2=9.201, P<0.05). The occurrence time of IAD in the combination group was (4.75±0.46) days, which was significantly longer than those of the skin protective membrane group [(3.86±1.35) days] and the semi-transparent dressing group [(2.74±0.73) days], the difference was significant (F=17.120, P < 0.05). The IAD severity of the combination group scored 3.63 ±0.92, which was significantly lower than those of the skin protective membrane group (5.29±1.11) and the semi-transparent dressing group (6.74±1.79), the difference was significant (F=12.240, P<0.05). Conclusions Skin protective membrane combined with semi-transparent dressing have priority in decreasing IAD incidence rate, and delaying the occurrence time of IAD, and relieving the severity of IAD, which is better than either of the two.
ABSTRACT
Objective To examine the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the perineal assessment tool (PAT),and explore its applicability in domestic patients with incontinence.Methods A convenience sample of 100 patients were recruited for evaluation.The patients with incontinence were assessed for lAD risk using the Chinese version of PAT.The reliability tests were conducted on internal consistency,interrater,test-retest,and the validity tests were conducted on content validity index(CVI),exploratory factor analysis,receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC).Results The Chinese version of PAT comprised 4 items,Cronbach's α was 0.512,and items related to the total score was appropriate; inter-rater reliability was 0.889; test-retest reliability was 0.791.CVI was 0.95.Exploratory analysis showed that the most interpretable solution consisted of 2 factors.The accumulative variance contribution explained 67.397% of variance of the total scale.Predictive validity was moderate,the best cut-off point was determined at 6.5 points.Conclusions Due to the special design,its internal consistency reliability was low; content validity was relatively sufficient,but it still needs further revision and test.Inter-rater reliability,test-retest reliability,construct validity,predictive validity was generally good,and it could be used as the screening tool of IAD risk.The results prompt PAT could be used as a benchmark,and we can adjust the entry of PAT to provide a more accurate IAD predicting tool by studying the IAD risk factors.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate ICU nurses' perceptions towards incontinence-associated dermatitis.Methods Totally 300 ICU nurses in Suzhou were investigated with a self-designed questionnaire.Results College education was considered to be their main source of knowledge about incontinence-associated dermatitis in 53.2 percent of the nurses.99.8 percent of nurses thought college education was far enough for clinical practice.68.5 percent of nurses thought it was very important to train for knowledge of incontinence-associated dermatitis.Conclusions ICU nurses in Suzhou have less knowledge on incontinence associated dermatitis.It can not meet clinical needs.It is recommended that more incontinence-associated dermatitis knowledge should be added in the school education and continuing education in order to improve nurses' professional competency and to reduce the incidence rate of incontinence-associated dermatitis
