    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Nursing Care

    Background:

    • Incontinence increases the risk of perineal skin breakdown.
    • Candida albicans is a common opportunistic pathogen in moist environments.
    • Perineal candidiasis can cause significant patient discomfort and prolonged healing.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate effective interventions for perineal Candida albicans infection in incontinent patients.
    • To evaluate the impact of nursing interventions, antifungal medication, and barrier ointments on healing time and patient comfort.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of clinical guidelines and case studies.
    • Analysis of patient outcomes with combined therapeutic approaches.
    • Focus on nursing interventions for perineal skin care.

    Main Results:

    • Integrated nursing care, antifungal therapy, and moisture barrier ointments demonstrated efficacy.
    • Reduced healing time was observed in patients receiving comprehensive treatment.
    • Significant decrease in patient-reported discomfort associated with perineal candidiasis.

    Conclusions:

    • A multimodal approach combining nursing interventions, antifungal medication, and barrier ointments is effective.
    • Early and consistent application of these interventions can accelerate healing.
    • Management of perineal candidiasis in incontinent patients requires a coordinated care strategy.
