Metaparadigm of Nursing and Prevention of Pressure Sores in the ICU

Metaparadigm of Nursing and Prevention of Pressure Sores in the ICU

Nursing theory provides components that are related and fundamental to the nursing image and profession and are aimed at ensuring the quality of care for patients in the ICU’s general well-being and satisfaction. The patients in the ICU are at high risk of developing bedsores, which contributes to the recovery and progress of the patient; this gives a reason why nursing, person, health, and environment need to be considered for the wellness of the patient in the ICU.

The patient or client in the ICU is our main focus since he or she is the recipient of care from the nursing team and requires to be comfortable, and the families or caregivers also need to be satisfied with the care that their loved one is receiving from the hospital. The patient needs a good environment to ensure good recovery and prevention of pressure sores during the hospital stay. There is a need to provide a ripple mattress to reduce the contact surface area of the patient and constantly perform hourly turning to ensure the pressure sores do not develop, relieve pain, and enhance comfort. This will prevent negative effects on the patient, hence improving care.

King’s conceptual system and theory of goal of attainment also promote and incorporate the metaparadigm of nursing by predicating on the notion that nursing is primarily concerned with human beings. Health includes general wellness or well-being, and this is the primary focus of every healthcare provider. In ICU, the provision of ripple mattresses should be mandatory to optimize health and prevent complications arising from physical immobility. Nurses interact with the patient to get information on how the patient feels, improve care, and adjust to ensure patients’ satisfaction during their hospital stay. Their perceptions of the use of ripple mattresses and hourly turning are assessed to evaluate the general outcomes on the quality of health care provided. It is crucial to consider the nursing, person, health, and environment to provide quality health service to patients in the ICU who are physically immobile.
