Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of fluidized positioners and memory foam pillows in preventing pressure injuries in the head among pediatric patients. H1: There is a significant difference between the fluidized positioner and the memory foam pillow in terms of pressure injury incidence in pediatric intensive care patients. H2: The fluidized positioner reduces the risk of developing pressure injuries more effectively than the memory foam pillow. H3: There is a significant difference in the pressure applied to the head region of the patient between the fluidized positioner and the memory foam pillow. H4: The anatomical locations of pressure injuries (occipital, parietal, temporal, and ear regions) vary depending on the type of pillow used. H5: Compared to the memory foam pillow, the fluidized positioner is associated with a more homogeneous pressure distribution across the occipital, parietal, and temporal regions.
