Brief Summary:
Pressure injuries PIs pose significant public health concerns particularly for hospitalized patients with limited mobility They are one of the five most common causes of harm in healthcare settings with a global prevalence ranging from 0 to 725 Hospitalized patients face a higher risk of developing PIs compared to those in community settings with older adults over 65 years being particularly vulnerable
Meta-analysis reveals a global prevalence of PIs at 148 varying significantly across care settings For instance in acute care environments the prevalence ranges from 6 to 18 highlighting the need for improved preventive measures A study in the UAE demonstrated that implementing a new intervention protocol reduced the prevalence of PIs from 2 in 2013 to 18 in 2018 underscoring that prevention is less costly than treatment
Furthermore research indicates that maintaining skin integrity is crucial in preventing PIs with the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality emphasizing the use of Care Bundles that include comprehensive skin assessments Topical emollients and products containing hyper-oxygenated fatty acids HOFAs are recommended for enhancing skin hydration and reducing PI risk
Evidence from studies in Gulf countries shows the effectiveness of olive oil in preventing and treating PIs Despite existing interventions recent data from the hospital conducting this study revealed a rising incidence of PIs from 40 cases in 2020 to 55 cases in 2021 This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of applying extra virgin olive oil topically alongside standard preventive measures to reduce the risk of PIs in mobility-compromised patients
