The role of the staged pressure ulcer care model
The staged pressure ulcer care model is a highly realistic teaching tool specially designed for nursing teaching and skills training. Its main function is to help trainees fully master the identification and care methods of pressure ulcers at different stages. This model can visually present various clinical manifestations of pressure sores from erythema, blisters to ulcers and necrosis, enabling learners to observe the progression of the lesion in a risk-free environment and understand the pathological characteristics of different stages.
Through operational training, trainees can practice various care skills such as debridement, dressing change, packing and dressing selection for pressure sores, and master comprehensive measures including body position placement, skin protection and infection prevention. Meanwhile, this model can also be used to assess the standardization and proficiency of trainees in the pressure ulcer care process.
Compared with clinical practice, the advantage of the staged pressure ulcer care model lies in its reusability and repeated operation, which is not restricted by the patient's condition. It not only ensures the safety of teaching but also enhances the systematicness and intuitiveness of training. It holds significant value in nursing education, clinical internships and continuing education, and is conducive to enhancing the professional level and practical response ability of nursing staff.
