Abstract

The study of prevalence and the related factor of Incontinence Associated Dermatitis (IAD) from 135 neonatal intensive care unit patients using the Neonatal Tissue Viability Risk Assessment Tool; NTV. The study found the IAD in 6 cases (4.40%). The severity was divided into Category 1 and Category 2 there are 3 cases per level. The area of IAD such as around the anus 6 cases (100%). The relationship between the factors was the gestational age of less than 32 weeks (p-value = 0.002), Birth weight ≤ 1,500 grams (p-value = 0.003), Length of stay in NICU of more than 20 days (p-value =0.003), and NTV points ≥ 20 (p-value = 0.002) It has a relationship with the complications of IAD by uncontrolled excretion. Skin assessments in the neonatal intensive care unit are important. Therefore, the healthcare team should make an important about caring for and treating critical illness.
