Comparison of the Effectiveness of Fluidized Positioner and Memory Foam Pillow in the Prevention of Pressure Injury in the Children's Head

This study aims to compare the effectiveness of fluidized positioners and memory foam pillows in preventing pressure injuries in the head among pediatric patients. H1: There is a significant difference between the fluidized positioner and the memory foam pillow in terms of pressure injury incidence in pediatric intensive care patients. H2: The fluidized positioner reduces the risk of developing pressure injuries more effectively than the memory foam pillow. H3: There is a significant difference in the pressure applied to the head region of the patient between the fluidized positioner and the memory foam pillow. H4: The anatomical locations of pressure injuries (occipital, parietal, temporal, and ear regions) vary depending on the type of pillow used. H5: Compared to the memory foam pillow, the fluidized positioner is associated with a more homogeneous pressure distribution across the occipital, parietal, and temporal regions.
