Skin care is a fundamental aspect of basic nursing care, with the outcome of these interventions often used to gauge the quality of the care provided. However, possibly as a result of the 'basic' nature of this aspect of care, little attention has been paid to developing a firm evidence base to guide decision-making in this area. This is compounded by the wide variety of products now available, ranging from simple cleansers and moisturizers, to more complex agents that cleanse, moisturize and protect all in one, which adds to the confusion. This article explores the basic principles of skin care, and considers the evidence available to support the nursing interventions used, and the range of products available. Finally it suggests the adoption of clear skin care protocols, and recommends actions that should form part of these.
皮肤护理是基础护理的一个基本方面,这些干预措施的结果常被用于衡量所提供护理的质量。然而,可能由于这一护理方面具有“基础”性质,在为该领域的决策制定建立坚实的证据基础方面,几乎未受到关注。如今有各种各样的产品可供选择,从简单的清洁剂和保湿剂到集清洁、保湿和保护功能于一体的更复杂的制剂,这加剧了混乱局面。本文探讨了皮肤护理的基本原则,考量了支持所用护理干预措施的现有证据以及可用产品的范围。最后,文章建议采用明确的皮肤护理方案,并推荐应成为这些方案一部分的行动。
