Abstract
Pressure injuries are a significant concern in healthcare, affecting bedridden patients worldwide. This prospective study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of coconut oil massage in reducing the risk of pressure injury in bedridden patients. A quasi-experimental research approach was adopted, with 20 patients selected through purposive sampling. The Braden scale was used to assess the risk of pressure injury. Results showed a significant reduction in the risk of pressure injury in the experimental group. This study concludes that coconut oil massage is an effective and cost-efficient approach to preventing pressure injuries in bedridden patients.
