Abstract
To evaluate the intervention efficacy of medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) nursing management at peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) insertion site on oncological patients. This study used the case-control research method. We randomly divided 156 patients with PICCs implanted in our hospital's surgery department from January 2019 to December 2020 into a control group (85 patients) and an intervention group (71 patients). The control group was the conventional nursing care group, and the intervention group was the MARSI nursing management group. Through implementing a series of interventions (ie, risk assessment, risk prevention, and risk management) for the MARSI nursing care management group, the incidence rate of MARSI, and its types (including mechanical injury, dermatitis, maceration, and folliculitis) were compared between the two groups. The total incidence rate of MARSI was 30.59% in the control group and 7.04% in the intervention group (P < .05), and the difference was statistically significant. The incidence rate of mechanical injury in the control group was 12.94%, which decreased to 2.82% after intervention (P < .05), and the difference was statistically significant. The incidence rate of dermatitis in the intervention group was 11.76%, which decreased to 2.82% after intervention (P < .05), and the difference was statistically significant. By implementing MARSI nursing care management, the incidence rate of MARSI at PICC insertion site can be effectively reduced.
