dc.description.abstractAbstractProblem Statement: Mobility is the highest predictor of pressure injuries (PIs) (Budri et al., 2020). Pressure injury prevalence continues to rise despite prevention efforts, indicating an imperative need for standardized PIP protocols in hospitalized patients. Purpose: To develop and utilize a patient educational brochure on the importance of early mobilization during hospitalization to increase mobility and improve pressure injury scores within a cardiac telemetry floor in an urban community hospital. Methods: Utilization of a quantitative design comparing pressure injury scores from Quarter 2 of Calendar Year (CY) 2021 and the intervention period (February 2022) to determine the effect of a mobility educational brochure and direct patient education in preventing pressure injuries in fifteen baseline mobile patients on a cardiac telemetry floor. Results: Chart review revealed no new incidence (0.00%) of pressure injuries and a pressure injury score of 0.00% post-implementation indicating no PI's on the unit. Additionally, patient satisfaction surveys indicated an overall positive attitude and satisfaction with education received during implementation. Discussion: Despite the paucity of literature on pressure injury prevention strategies by use of mobility techniques during hospitalization, there continues to be a lack of standardized procedure regarding this issue at the tertiary medical center. The needs assessment conducted on the Cardiac Telemetry floor, demonstrated this deficiency in knowledge. Post-implementation data portrayed a positive correlation between education and pressure injury incidence/prevalence.
