Sponsor's own description

Pressure sores are an important health problem that can be seen at any age and in any environment where care is provided, especially in intensive care units. It is a problem that can frequently develop, especially in people who are bedridden for long periods of time and who have acute or chronic diseases. While the incidence of pressure ulcers in hospitals is 10-23%, this rate has been reported to be 8.1%-41% in intensive care units. In Turkey, the incidence of pressure ulcers in patients receiving mechanical ventilation treatment for at least 24 hours was found to be 17% and 15.5% in intensive care units. It is an important problem that requires long-term care and treatment after the development of a pressure sore, prolongs the duration of hospitalization, has high treatment and care costs, and increases morbidity. In a systematic review, it was stated that pressure ulcer treatment, in addition to normal treatment, increased the per capita cost of care between € 2.65 and € 87.57 per day.The care provided due to developing pressure sores increases the burden on healthcare professionals and makes it difficult to achieve the desired quality of care.It also brings an extra financial burden to care institutions.Studies have found that pressure ulcer development increases the cost of nursing care. Pressure sores also cause pain, infection, etc. in patients. It leads to the development of serious problems, deterioration in comfort and a significant decrease in the quality of life. The use of complementary medicines, including medicinal plants, has long been recommended in this regard. The latest approaches in medicine recommend its use in the prevention and treatment of diseases due to its fewer side effects, and it is welcomed by patients. Assessment and care of the skin is important in preventing pressure sores. Pomegranate seed oil is very rich in conjugated fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic fatty acids). Although the effectiveness of pomegranate seed oil has been investigated in many subjects, there is no study examining its effectiveness in preventing and healing wound development. The aim of this study is to determine the application of topical pomegranate seed oil. To examine its effect on pressure sore development and progression. To determine the effect of topical pomegranate seed application on the prevention and progression of pressure sores. It will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study.
