Abstract
Pressure ulcers (PUs), also known as bedsores or decubitus ulcers, are a significant concern in patients confined to bed rest during hospitalization. The prevention of pressure ulcers is critical as they can lead to extended hospitalization, infection, and increased healthcare costs. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of sesame oil as an intervention to prevent the formation of pressure ulcers in hospitalized patients with prolonged bed rest. The research examines the impact of sesame oil’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties on the skin integrity of these patients. The findings suggest that sesame oil application significantly reduces the incidence of pressure ulcers when compared to standard care practices.
