SUMMARY In a non-randomised (quasi-experimental) clinical study, it was aimed to determine the effect of the care package applied in the early postoperative period on operating theatre pressure sores, pain, fear of falling and comfort in patients undergoing orthopaedic surgery. In the study, the care bundle for pressure injuries was prepared in accordance with the clinical guidelines and was applied to the patients in the study group. This study was conducted in the orthopaedics and traumatology clinic of a public hospital in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey.
Medhod:Patients in the control group underwent routine practice of the clinic and this group was observed for 199 days. The care bundle for pressure injuries developed within the scope of the research was not applied. In the study group, in addition to routine clinical practice, the care bundle for pressure injuries developed for this study was applied for 105 days. Since the pressure ulcer originating from the operating room was seen until the 48th-72nd hour, the evaluations and interventions within the scope of the study were performed for three days, considering the operation day as the zeroth day for the control and study groups. A total of 190 patients, 122 in the control group and 68 in the study group, were included in the study.
The care bundle consisted of "skin care, positioning, early mobilization, nutrition, and fluid intake" interventions. In the study, first, the data of the control group and then the data of the study group were collected.
Data Collection Tools: The Patient Descriptive Information Form consists of sociodemographic data. The 3S OR Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale was used to identify patients at risk of developing OR pressure ulcers. Visual Analogue Scale was used to evaluate pain perception. The Visual Analog Scale was used to determine the fear of falling. General Comfort Questionnaire-Short Form was used to determine the comfort level. The National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP) 2016 Pressure Injury Staging System was used to assess and stage pressure ulcer development. Pressure Injury Areas and Stages Follow-up Registration Form; The form in which the pressure ulcer development status is recorded.
518 studies on the registry are indexed under Pressure Ulcer; 117 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 190 is above the median of 70 across 395 interventional studies indexed under Pressure Ulcer.

The effect of pressure ulcer care package on the incidence of pressure ulcers in patients
In this study, it was seen that the pressure ulcer care package applied to the study group contributed positively to the change in the incidence rate of pressure ulcers.
Time frame: Implementation Time: 3.5 Month
The effect of pressure ulcer care package on pain perception in patients
In this study, it was seen that the pressure ulcer care package applied to the study group made positive contributions to the change of pain level. Visual Analog Scale was used to evaluate the level of pain. The score obtained from the scale ranges from one to ten. The higher the score, the higher the level of pain.
Time frame: Implementation Time: 3.5 Month
The effect of pressure ulcer care package on fear of falling in patients
In this study, the pressure ulcer care package applied to the study group changed the fear of falling in patients. Visual Analogue Scale was used to obtain numerical data in the assessment of fear of falling. The score obtained from the scale ranges from one to ten. The higher the score, the greater the fear of falling.
Time frame: Implementation Time: 3.5 Month
The effect of pressure ulcer care package on comfort in patients
In this study, the pressure ulcer care package applied to the study group changed the comfort of the patients. The comfort level of the patients was determined by using the short form of the comfort scale. As the score obtained from the scale increases, the level of comfort increases.
Time frame: Implementation Time: 3.5 Month
