Abstract:Objective To explore the effects of a structured skin care regimen for neonatal patients′ diaper dermatitis, and to provide refe-rences for establishing standardized nursing process. Methods A total of 88 hospitalized children in neonatal surgery department were recruited, those admitted from October 8th, 2020 to January 31st, 2021 were regarded as a control group (n=44), and others admitted from February 4th to May 30th, 2021, were assigned to an experimental group(n=44). The control group received routine nursing care, while a structured skin care regimen was developed and implemented in the experimental group,including high-risk population assessment, prevention and symptomatic management of diaper dermatitis, etc. Nurses observed diaper dermatitis for the children every day, and assessed incidence of diaper dermatitis and its severity, score, duration of cure, length of hospital stay, and pain score. Results The incidence of diaper dermatitis, its severity score and duration of cure, the length of hospital stay and pain score of the experimental group were significantly lower or shorter than those of the control group (P<0.05,P<0.01). Conclusion The structured skin care regimen can effectively reduce the incidence of neonatal diaper dermatitis, and alleviate neonates′ pain.
