摘要
Background. Pressure ulcers are a significant health care problem all across the world due to their associated high mortality and morbidity rates and high health care costs. The prevalence of pressure ulcers serves as one of the most important indicators of the quality of nursing care. Study aim: This study aims to determine the prevalence of pressure ulcers and patient-related risk factors in inpatients receiving treatment in the province of Erzurum, located in the eastern part of Turkey. Design: This is a cross-sectional study. Participants: which included 832 inpatients hospitalized for at least 24 h after admission in five hospitals in the province of Erzurum. All of the study patients were 18 years of age or older and agreed to participate in the research. Patients hospitalized in the obstetric, emergency, and pediatric clinics were excluded from the study (due to the low probability of pressure ulcers in these clinics). Instruments: For the collection of data, the "Introductory Information Form" was used to learn the socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, and the "Braden Risk Assessment Scale" was used to determine the risk of pressure ulcers. The stage of the pressure ulcers of the patients was determined according to the classification of the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel (NPUAP). Methods: Since the study was planned as a point prevalence study, research data were gathered by the researchers and interviewers on a single day designated for each hospital during the first week of October 2016. Results: Among the patients included in the study, 53.1% were male, mean age was 56 62 +/- 17.95, 57.2% were treated in internal clinics, and the mean hospital stay was 9.02 +/- 13.36 days. In terms of the patients' risk of pressure ulcers, it was determined that 28% were at risk. The overall prevalence of pressure ulcers was calculated to be 12.7% (for stages I-IV), with the overall prevalence decreasing by 6.7% when the patients with stage-I were excluded. Furthermore, it was found that 48.3% of the pressure ulcers were stage-I, and that the sacral region (37.3%) was the most affected region. According to the logistic regression analysis conducted to determine the factors, along with their weights, that affect the development of pressure ulcers, the age of the patient, the duration of the hospital stay, the presence of incontinence, albumin level problems, and a Braden score below 17 were found to have an impact (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In this study, the prevalence of pressure ulcers was calculated to be 12.7%, with the highest prevalence found in intensive care clinics (35.3%). The age of the patient, the duration of the hospital stays, the presence of incontinence, albumin level problems, and a Braden score below 17 were found to be effective in the development of pressure ulcers.
