One of the adverse events that healthcare professionals see as a threat to the patient’s health is the development of complications known as surgical site infection (SSI). Although several efforts are being undertaken to determine the proper means to reduce such complications, there is still a high incidence of SSI worldwide. Surgery requires knowledge in infection control and high precision in maintaining a clean surgical site. This study tested the effectiveness of an operating room (OR) bundle of care in preventing SSI in patients undergoing elective exploratory laparotomy cholecystectomy surgery. Methods A quasi-experimental pretest and posttest design was utilized to determine its effectiveness. The study was composed of 60 participants divided into two groups: 30 subjects were selected to receive the OR bundle of care, while the other 30 subjects received the usual care. The groupings were determined through a s...

Numerous regimens are being innovated to produce an evidence-based practice that would minimize complications and promote healing. Topical oxygen therapy is an innovation in wound care that has been considered influential in the wound healing process. This intervention aims to increase the oxygen concentration in the affected limb to promote wound healing. Methods: This research applied an experimental design that targeted a total of 60 adult patients aged 45–64 years with diabetic foot ulcers. A randomized systematic sampling technique was used to allow equal chances and prevent bias. In total, 30 patients in the control group received usual care for diabetic foot ulcers, and the remaining 30 patients in the experimental group received topical oxygen therapy together with standard care for diabetic foot ulcers. Subjects...

A descriptive correlational type of research was utilized to gather information on the level of awareness and compliance of adolescent patients to diet, exercise and drug management suffering from Type-1 diabetes mellitus. The patients (n=20) were recruited from Institute for Studies on Diabetes Foundation Incorporated, Philippines. A purposive sampling was utilized to select twenty adolescents. A researcher-made questionnaire was utilized as the main instrument in gathering data. Focus group discussion was also done to further assess patient's level of awareness and compliance to diabetes management. Results showed that patients have a moderate level of awareness and some extent of compliance to diabetes. Patients have extreme awareness in diet management and moderate awareness in exercise and drug management. In terms of compliance,...
