Abstract: Objective To explore the effect of problem oriented early warning intervention on the prevention of pressure ulcers in bedridden patients after cerebral infarction. Methods A prospective study was conducted on 80 bedridden patients with cerebral infarction admitted to Chifeng Municipal Hospital from March 2021 to March 2024. According to the random number table method, patients were divided into an observation group and a control group, with 40 cases in each group. The control group received early warning intervention, while the observation group received problem oriented early warning intervention. The intervention effect was evaluated after 7 days of continuous intervention. The risk of pressure ulcer was compared between the two groups before intervention and after 7 days of intervention [assessed by pressure ulcer score scale (Braden)]. After 7 days of intervention, the bed comfort of patients was evaluated [according to Kolcaba's comfort scale (GCQ) and combined with the situation of bedridden patients after cerebral infarction to develop bed comfort evaluation table]. The occurrence of pressure sores during in-hospital bed rest treatment was counted in the two groups. Results After 7 days of intervention, the scores of each dimension of the Braden scale decreased in both groups of patients, and the observation group was lower than the control group, with a statistical significant difference (P<0.05). After 7 days of intervention, the proportion of total comfort in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). The incidence of pressure ulcers in the observation group was lower than that in the control group, with a statistical significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion Implementing problem oriented early warning interventions for bedridden patients after cerebral infarction can reduce the risk of pressure ulcers, reduce the occurrence of pressure ulcers, and improve patient bed comfort.
