Core Tip
Core Tip: The findings indicate significant reductions in total pressure ulcer scale for healing scores in the intervention group, with notable improvements in surface area, exudate, and tissue type parameters compared to the control group. Moreover, family satisfaction with care and decision-making was substantially higher in the intervention group, demonstrating the positive impact of bundled care on both patient outcomes and family experience in the intensive care unit setting.
