Intensive care unit (ICU) patients suffering from incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) may lead to patient infection, resulting in septic shock. The incidence of IAD in our ward was 19.6%. We identified problem included inadequate knowledge and skills among nursing staff, inconsistent care process, lack of assessment tools, and absence of internal clinical auditing. These finding led to development of a quality improvement project designed to reduce the incidence rate of IAD in our surgical ICU. Through conducting the IAD care workshop with scenario-based simulations, creating the instructional video“Care Skin, ABCD”, utilizing the“Clean Perineum, Skin Protection - Sticky Pay”assessment card as a handover tool, and establishing“IAD care standards and internal clinical auditing”, the incidence of IAD decreased from 19.6% to 3.6%, while the accuracy rate of nurses’knowledge improved from 65.3% to 94.7%. Furthermore, the accuracy rate of prevention and care increased from 66.2% to 100%. This project develops bundle care for each grade of IAD skin based on the evidence studies. Implementation of a multifaceted educational intervention targeting the nursing staff resulted in enhanced competencies in managing incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD), which subsequently led to a notable decline in the incidence of IAD among patients in the surgical intensive care unit. |
