Summary

The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of local propolis application in patients with pressure ulcers. A total of 62 patients were included in this randomized controlled experimental study, with 31 patients in the propolis group and 31 in the control group. While the control group received the clinic's standard wound care treatment protocol, the propolis group was administered 30% pure propolis extract in addition to the standard wound care treatment protocol. For data collection, the following tools were used: the Introductory Characteristics Form, which includes patients' socio-demographic and medical information; the Propolis Application Follow-up Form; the Pressure Ulcer Healing Assessment Scale; pain assessment tools including the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) for conscious patients and the Face Pain Scale for unconscious patients; Katz's Index of Activities of Daily Living; and the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI).
