Pressure ulcer is considered a common and costly problem in the care of patients. Prevention and management of pressure ulcer are very important due to the high cost of treatment and the adverse consequences of pressure ulcer. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of implementing "aSSKINg" model in reducing pressure ulcer risk. This study used a before- and after-intervention quasi-experimental design. This study was performed on 60 patients who were not randomly selected and assigned in to control and study group. The data collection tool was a 3-part sheet (Braden scale, skin health assessment, and Pressure ulcer assessment). The incidence of pressure ulcer was 19 (60.0%) in the control group versus 9 (30.0%) in the study group with statistical significant differences. The most common site of pressure ulcer was coccyx (6 [31.6%]) in the control group and Heel (3 [33.3%]) in the study group. The application of "aSSKINg" model in the patients with pressure ulcers is effective in reducing the incidence and severity of pressure ulcers.
压疮被认为是患者护理中常见且代价高昂的问题。由于治疗费用高和压疮的不良后果，预防和管理压疮非常重要。本研究旨在评估实施“aSSKINg”模型对降低压疮风险的效果。本研究采用了前后干预准实验设计。本研究对 60 名未随机选择并分配到对照组和研究组的患者进行了研究。数据收集工具是三部分表（Braden 量表、皮肤健康评估和压疮评估）。对照组压疮发生率为 19 例（60.0%），研究组为 9 例（30.0%），差异有统计学意义。对照组压疮最常见的部位是尾骨（6 例[31.6%]），研究组是足跟（3 例[33.3%]）。“aSSKINg”模型在压疮患者中的应用可有效降低压疮的发生率和严重程度。
