Abstract: Objective To develop an evidence-based prevention and management programme for medical adhesive-related skin injuries in the elderly patients. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted based on evidence-based methods. The quality of the literature was evaluated according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. After discussions within the research team and two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, a prevention and management programme for medical adhesive-related skin injuries in the elderly patients was formulated. Results The positive coefficients of the experts in both rounds were 100%. Ultimately, a prevention and management programme was established, which included 7 first-level indicators, 14 second-level indicators, and 29 third-level indicators, covering patient assessment, operator assessment, pre-operation preparation, operation technique, post-operation observation, health education, supervision and training. Conclusions The prevention and management programme for medical adhesive-related skin injuries in the elderly patients established in this study has scientificity and feasibility, and can be further applied in clinical practice.
