NCT06927479
The Effect of an Electronic Decision Support System on Preventing Pressure Ulcers and Urinary Infections in Home Care
This study evaluated Care-Up, a mobile-compatible web-based decision support system for informal caregivers of patients receiving home healthcare. The system provides guidance on skin care, pressure-injury prevention, urinary-risk indicators, nutrition, hydration and when to seek professional help. The study had two stages: development and formative evaluation of Care-Up, followed by a parallel-group randomised controlled trial. In the trial, 66 patient-caregiver dyads were allocated equally to Care-Up plus routine home healthcare or routine home healthcare alone. Caregivers in the intervention group used Care-Up for eight weeks. Eligible patients were registered with the Burdur State Hospital Home Healthcare Services Unit and had a Barthel Index score of 0-20 or 21-61. There was no separate patient age restriction. The registered primary outcome was pressure-injury risk assessed with the Braden Scale. Other assessments included skin integrity using GLOBIAD and ISTAP, urinalysis, urine colour and nutritional status. Nutritional status was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment-Short Form (MNA-SF). Caregivers in the intervention group completed assessments of system usability, mobile-application usability, willingness to use the application and loyalty to the application at the end of the intervention.
