Brief Summary: The rate of elderly population is increasing in the world It is reported that the proportion of the world population over the age of 60 will increase to 22 by 2050 With advancing age the skin is inevitably affected and becomes more vulnerable to possible damage Additionally as the skin ages it undergoes many internal and external deteriorations Intrinsic aging refers to biological changes that cannot be prevented to a large extent External factors exposure to conditions such as ultraviolet rays and radiation In addition in elderly individuals conditions such as frequent washing especially washing with harsh products lack of hygiene trauma decreased peripheral satisfaction immobility incontinence diabetes vascular changes malnutrition use of multiple medications depression and dementia are among the situations that increase the risk of deterioration in skin health Hypotheses of the Research H0-1The care given to elderly patients according to the protocol prepared has no effect on the moisture status of the skin

H1-1 The care given to elderly patients according to the prepared protocol affects the moisture status of the skin

H0-2 The care given to elderly patients with the prepared protocol has no effect on their dermatological lives

H1-2 The care given to elderly patients with the prepared protocol has an impact on their dermatological lives

H0-3 The care provided with the protocol prepared for elderly patients has no effect on general comfort

H1-3 The care provided with the protocol prepared in elderly patients has an effect on general comfort
Detailed Description: The rate of elderly population is increasing in the world It is reported that the proportion of the world population over the age of 60 will increase to 22 by 2050 This aging of the population is one of the most important factors affecting the population demographic structure of all countries in the world These demographic changes create many challenges in all healthcare systems and care settings around the world Age-related morphological and functional changes affect the whole body as well as negatively affecting the skin which is the largest organ of the body With advancing age the skin is inevitably affected and becomes more vulnerable to possible damage Additionally as the skin ages it undergoes many internal and external deteriorations Intrinsic aging refers to biological changes that cannot be prevented to a large extent External factors exposure to conditions such as ultraviolet rays and radiation In addition in elderly individuals conditions such as frequent washing especially washing with harsh products lack of hygiene trauma decreased peripheral satisfaction immobility incontinence diabetes vascular changes malnutrition use of multiple medications depression and dementia are among the situations that increase the risk of deterioration in skin health For these reasons skin care and protecting the integrity of the skin are the main goals of acute and long-term care Physiological and pathological skin changes occur in the elderly aged skin contains less collagen elastin and fatty tissue skin elasticity decreases and shrinkage of the subcutaneous tissue occurs resulting in the appearance of wrinkles and folds the skin also has a decreased sebaceous gland and sweat gland activity causes the skin to become dry xerosis and more fragile Arteriosclerotic changes in small and large vessels lead to thinning of the vessel walls and reduced blood flow to the extremities and therefore skin microcirculation

In this study A protocol that protects the skin health of elderly patients was developed and a randomized controlled experiment was conducted to determine the effect of this protocol on skin moisture dermatological quality of life and patient comfort in elderly patients This thesis study is a randomized controlled experimental study with experimental and control groups and three follow-ups The effect size in the study was 0503 The minimum number of samples was determined as 66 taking the alpha value as 005 and the power as 080 33 individuals who met the inclusion criteria were included in each group In order to collect data in the study Patient Information Form Dermatological Quality of Life Index General Comfort Scale Elderly Patients Skin Evaluation Subjective Data Form Elderly Patients Skin Evaluation Objective Data Form Elderly Patients Pressure Injury Evaluation Form Skin Moisture Measurement DMM Skin Moisture Meter Device will be used Research data will be evaluated with the SPSS package program Statistical significance level will be accepted as p0005 and p0001 CONSORT 2018 flow diagram was used in the study
