In a group of patients living in a long-term nursing home facility, (Patient population) how effective is repositioning every two hours (Intervention) compared to not repositioning every two hours (Comparison) in reducing the risk for pressure ulcers (Outcome) during two months stay?

The answer to this question is a study that compares pressure ulcer risks between those patients who live in nursing homes and are moved every two-hours with others who don’t. To ensure accurate data collection, the study should contain information on patient demographics and preexisting conditions, including comorbidities. In order to avoid biases, you should also choose a suitable control group.

In order to account for every possible variable, the research plan should randomly place participants in treatment groups or controls and then measure pressure ulcer incidence between these two groups over the course of a period of 2 months. The data collected during this procedure should be analysed using statistical methods such as chi-square and logistic regression to allow for a more accurate interpretation of the results.

Ultimately this research would help determine the efficacy of this intervention in reducing the incidence of pressure ulcers during extended stays—which could then be used to inform future practice guidelines or update existing ones accordingly. It would also allow the healthcare provider to improve their patient’s care by improving prevention, outcomes, and efficiency.
