What this Trial Is About
Researchers are studying the effect of a pressure ulcer care package on the risk of developing pressure ulcers after surgery in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. The study is a randomized controlled trial involving patients from the Orthopaedics and Traumatology Clinic who volunteer and meet specific criteria. Data will be collected using various assessment forms and analyzed with statistical software. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: one group will receive the pressure ulcer prevention package prepared by the researchers, while the other group will receive standard care without the intervention. The study focuses on comparing these two approaches to understand their impact on pressure ulcer development after surgery. During the study, researchers will evaluate pressure ulcer formation three days after surgery using standardized monitoring forms and risk assessment scales. Participants' personal information and health status will be recorded, and statistical analysis will be conducted to assess outcomes. The total participation timeline includes the surgery and a follow-up evaluation three days later.
