Evaluation of the Efficiency of Local Application of Bee Products in the Care of Diaper Dermatitis in Infants

Summary

The aim of this study was to evaluate the local application of bee products in the care of diaper dermatitis in infants.

1. H1: Barrier cream 1, consisting of a mixture of propolis, beeswax, queen bee larva and plants oil used in the care of diaper dermatitis, is more effective in recovering diaper dermatitis than barrier cream 2 containing zinc oxide.
2. H2: Barrier cream 1, consisting of a mixture of propolis, beeswax, queen bee larva and plants oil used in the care of diaper dermatitis, is more effective in recovering diaper dermatitis than olive oil.
3. H3: Diaper Dermatitis Severity Assessment Scale scores are lower in babies who use barrier cream 1, which consists of a mixture of propolis, beeswax, queen bee larva and plants oil, in the care of diaper dermatitis, compared to babies who use barrier cream 2, which contains zinc oxide.
4. H4: Diaper Dermatitis Severity Assessment Scale scores are lower in babies who use barrier cream 1, which consists of a mixture of propolis, beeswax, queen bee larva and plants oil, in the care of diaper dermatitis, than babies who use olive oil.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Use of Barrier cream group 1 in the healing of diaper dermatitis

In this study, the infant's first-degree diaper dermatitis was determined by the doctor or midwife using the Uncomplicated Diaper Dermatitis Severity Rating Scale in Infants. After first-degree diaper dermatitis was detected in the babies and their written consent was obtained, the parents of the babies were informed about the research before application and the parent-baby identification information form was filled out. Families were provided with education based on the ABCDE model. Mothers were informed that Barrier cream 1 would be used at each diaper change. Baby dermatitis was monitored face to face by the researcher on the 1st, 3rd and 5th days, and the scores were recorded on the observation form. Follow-up of those with a diaper dermatitis score of "0" was discontinued because full recovery was achieved.
