Summary

Pressure Wound (PW) is a chronic wound that develops in soft tissue as a result of the capillary end pressure which rising above 32 mmHg. It is the most common complication with 31% annual incidence after spinal cord injuries. Pressure wound is considered as malpractice for nursing practices. It decreases the quality of life of the elderly and patients with mobility restrictions and prolongs the length of hospital stay. Complication development risk and cost are high. Factors affecting wound opening include the amount of pressure, duration, moisture, friction, nutrition, age, weight, hemoglobin value, chronic diseases. The development of preventive actions, protocol and standard in pressure wound planning of care is among the main goals of nursing care. The research will be carried out to evaluate the effect of hand massage in preventing pressure injuries. Patient with a high risk of developing pressure wound will constitute the experimental and control group of our study. Standard nursing care applied to the control group; unlike the control group hand massage will be applied to the experiment group.when the sample group determined in both the experimental and control groups is reached the study will be terminated. The pressure wound in both groups will be compared statistically and the effectiveness of hand massage in reducing the pressure wound will be determined.

H0 :The applied classical hand massage has no effect on the formation of pressure wound.

H1: The applied classical hand massage has effect on the formation of pressure wound.
