Quality of life of patients with pressure ulcers: a systematic review
Introduction. A pressure ulcer (PU) is an injury on the surface of the skin or the underlying tissue, usually over a bone prominence caused by prolonged pressure or shearing [].PUs can occur on the areas of the coccyx, the heels, the foot, the hips, the shoulders, the knees, the ankles, the elbows, and the ear flaps [2,3].PUs are caused by three factors a) prolonged pressure over bone ...

1. INTRODUCTION. Despite all advances in health care, pressure ulcers (PUs) remain an old worldwide public health problem related to patient safety. 1, 2, 3 Hospital‐acquired PUs are one of the most harmful events in the clinical context. 1, 2 PUs, recently known as pressure injuries, 4, 5, 6 are defined as skin injuries and/or underlying tissue damage localised over a bony prominence ...
Implementation of Pressure Injury Prevention Strategies in Acute Care
Since 2009, the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel (NPIAP), European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (EPUAP), and Pan Pacific Pressure Injury Alliance (PPPIA) have develop and updated guidelines for the prevention and treatment of pressure injuries based on research evidence and expert opinion.1 The last 20 years of PI research has seen a ...

BD609/2016/Universidade de Lisboa. The effective approach on pressure ulcer (PU) prevention regarding patient safety in the hospital context was evaluated. Studies were identified from searches in EBSCO host, PubMed, and WebofScience databases from 2009 up to December 2018. Studies were selected if they were published in English, Fre ….
Pressure ulcers: Prevention and management
Prevention has been a primary goal of pressure ulcer research. Despite such efforts, pressure ulcers remain common in hospitals and in the community. Moreover, pressure ulcers often become chronic wounds that are difficult to treat and that tend to recur after healing. Especially given these challenges, dermatologists should have the knowledge ...
Effect of preventive care interventions on pressure ulcer rates in a
Background: Pressure ulcer rates are persistently high despite years of research and practice policies focused on prevention. Prior research found crosssectional associations between care interventions, hospital and nursing unit characteristics and pressure ulcer rates. Whether these associations persist over time is unknown.

Nurses' knowledge to pressure ulcer prevention in public hospitals in
Pressure ulcers (PUs) prevention remains a significant challenge for nurses [1, 2], and its incidence is considered an indicator of poor quality of care [3,4,5].Patients and families know that pressure ulcers are painful and slow to heal [].Some risk factors for the development of pressure ulcers/injuries include advanced age, immobility, incontinence, inadequate nutrition and hydration, neuro ...
Preventing pressure ulcers in nursing homes using a care ...
We conducted a mixed methods feasibility study of the use of this care bundle in one nursing home in the North of England using an uncontrolled, before-and-after study design. We collected quantitative data on pressure ulcer prevention behaviours of the nursing home staff and pressure ulcer incidence rates for 5 weeks prior to implementing the ...
Quality of life of patients with pressure ulcers: a systematic review
Aim: The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the impact of pressure ulcers on the patients' quality of life involving mental/emotional, spiritual, physical, social, cognitive dimensions, and pain. Methods: A systematic literature search of published articles in the English language during the past 15 years was conducted.

Review of the Current Management of Pressure Ulcers
The pressure ulcer scale for healing (PUSH tool) is a commonly used tool developed by the NPUAP, which grades pressure ulcers based on size of wound, wound bed tissue type, and exudate amount (Table 3). 30 Another commonly used scale is the Bates-Jensen wound assessment tool which scores wounds based on size, depth, wound edges, tissue ...
Effects of implementing Pressure Ulcer Prevention Practice Guidelines
Methods and analysis A systematic review of all studies that have assessed the use of pressure ulcer prevention strategies in hospital settings among hospitalised elderly patients shall be conducted. A comprehensive search of all published articles in Medline Ovid, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, Scopus and Web of Science will be done ...

Quantitative Pressure Measurement in Areas at High Risk of Pressure
Pressure ulcers are skin and/or underlying tissue lesions caused by the limitation of blood circulation owing to the combination of increased pressure, friction, and sheer force on specific parts of the body [1, 2].These pressure injuries are closely related to loss of quality of life, impairment in mobility, and increased mortality, both directly and indirectly [].
Hospital-Acquired Pressure Injuries in Critical and Progressive Care
The Pressure Ulcer Prevention Inventory (PUPI) 7 was designed using the NPUAP definition of unavoidable pressure injury 3 and Braden and Bergstrom's conceptual model of the etiology of pressure injuries. 8 The PUPI operationalized the 4 key concepts that are thought to capture the construct of unavoidable HAPIs and demonstrated acceptable ...
Pressure Injuries in Critical Care Patients in US Hospitals
A notable downward trend in hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) has been reported from 2006 to 2013, with rates decreasing from 6.6% to 3.6%. 5 Van Gilder's group 5 found that this downward trend has plateaued since 2013, with rates between 2013 and 2019 hovering in a tight range between 2.5% and 3.2%.
Nursing care for older patients with pressure ulcers: A qualitative
The main strength of this study is the use of a validated and scientifically robust qualitative method to explore nursing care for patients with pressure ulcers in a geriatric ward. This could not have been achieved using a quantitative study. A limitation is the relative small number of interviewed participants.
Nursing care for older patients with pressure ulcers: A qualitative
1 INTRODUCTION. Pressure ulcers are prevalent in hospitalized patients ranging from 5% to 32% depending on the patients in focus (National Institute for Health & Care Excellence, 2014).Risk factors include increasing age, decreased mobility, multi-morbidity and poor nutrition (European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, 2014).Patients with these risk factors are often admitted to a geriatric ward ...
