摘要
Objective: This article compares the results from a recent pressure ulcer (PU) prevalence audit at the Sheikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC) hospital in Abu Dhabi to identify the impact of new prevention initiatives introduced around 2013 and establish the effectiveness of PU prevention strategies, judged quality of nursing care, and costs associated with patients developing a hospital-acquired pressure ulcer (HAPU). Method: The methods used were based on a previous point prevalence study involving 441 acute care patients, who were assessed using the International Pressure Ulcer Prevalence (IPUP) Survey. Following pre-selection of a 24-hour period for data capture, hospital staff collected PU data. Hill-Rom provided SKMC with an electronic report comprising various epidemiological and financial outputs. Results: PU prevalence was 10.4% in 2018 versus 6.4% in 2013. The 2018 HAPU prevalence was 1.8% versus 2% in 2013. The 2018 findings were in line with IPUP's international benchmarks. In 2018, 99% of patients had their skin assessed and PU risk documented within 24 hours of admission, leading to rapid implementation of a prevention care plan. Most patients who developed a HAPU (n=8) were female (62%) and aged 20-29 years old (25%) or 70-79 years old (25%). All HAPU patients lay on three layers of linen, most on their side (88%) and 75% were hospitalised for >30 days. Costs were estimated for the eight HAPU patients; weighted average cost (per case) was around US$8035.32, giving a total estimated cost of US$64,282.54. Total annual cost (average length of stay basis) for the eight patients was estimated at US$1,830,082.32. Conclusion: The PU prevention plan at SKMC proved to be effective, reflected by a low HAPU prevalence rate, suggesting an excellent quality of patient care.
