“…The role of the nurse stomatherapist should be highlighted, since this professional has the knowledge, skills and managerial competencies to care for any type of injury, is an essential part of the health team, and should assume the functions of this area, providing better results in the individual and collective scope and, consequently, in QoL. (28,29) It is interesting to emphasize that health professionals should focus on the health of people with chronic wounds, identifying changes in well-being and quality of life and offering the necessary support to help them cope with the difficulties in their recovery. (30) In addition, it is essential to qualify professionals to provide care for patients with wounds, since assessing QoL is as important as wound care, and clinical factors that compromise QoL can be modified with effective treatment.…”

Resumo Objetivo: Avaliar a qualidade de vida de pessoas com feridas crônicas. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado com 176 pessoas com feridas crônicas em acompanhamento ambulatorial e domiciliar em um serviço público de saúde. Foram utilizados: formulário para a caracterização sociodemográfica, clínica e terapêutica e o questionário Cardiff Wound Impact Schedule para a mensuração da qualidade de vida. As análises foram descritivas e inferenciais empregando-se os testes t de Student, ANOVA, Mann Whitney e Kruskal-Wallis. Resultados: Dentre as pessoas acompanhadas em domicílio, predominaram lesões de origem vasculogênicas, com tempo de existência superior a 12 meses e área de até 25 cm2. No ambiente ambulatorial, prevaleceram feridas vasculogênicas e traumáticas, com tempo máximo de seis meses e extensão de até 25 cm2. Os fatores clínicos associados à qualidade de vida foram: tempo de duração da lesão, etiologia da lesão, grande extensão, aspecto do exsudato, presença de odor e de dor. O domínio de QV “bem-estar” apresentou maior impacto negativo decorrente da presença de lesão. Conclusão: Os fatores clínicos influenciaram diretamente os domínios de QV, sendo necessária a utilização de estratégias diferenciadas com o intuito de reduzir o impacto na QV por se tratarem de aspectos que poderiam ser atenuados ou evitados mediante a avaliação da lesão e a escolha do tratamento adequado.

“…PI is a common hospital‐acquired complication in the Western world and has been linked to poor adherence to prevention strategies across clinical settings . Although there are various barriers to clinical practice guideline implementation, Australian and international studies have reported that nurses' knowledge of PI prevention strategies is often inadequate. On this point, research suggests that nurses generally tend to underestimate the risk of PIs and underutilise PI preventive strategies when compared with nurses with experience in managing PIs …”

Pressure injuries (PIs) are a common quality indicator for hospital care, and preventing PIs often requires patient engagement; as such, Australian consensus research has recommended that high‐quality education materials be made to patients for PIs via hospital networks. The purpose of the present study was to assess the availability and accuracy of patient education materials on PIs in publicly available hospital websites in Victoria, Australia. Two independent coders assessed 212 websites for content on PI prevention and management, analysing availability and accuracy of PI definitions, risk factors, preventive strategies, referral, visual tools, consumer endorsement, information for family/carers, and translation on community languages. A greater proportion of hospitals did not have any patient education materials on PI prevention publicly available, with private hospitals (compared with public) and metropolitan hospitals (compared to rural) more likely to have materials available on their sites. The available materials contained accurate messages on PI defining characteristics and risk factors for PIs, although there was considerable variability on the availability of other information. Our findings suggest a significant deficit in the availability of educational materials for acute care patients and their families. There is a need for evidence‐based, consumer‐endorsed, uniform materials on all hospital websites to prevent PIs in acute care.

“…Knowledge deficit can often be a significant cause leading to the development of PI; thus, CCNs need ongoing education and training about PI prevention (Galvão, Serique, Santos, & Nogueira, 2017). Furthermore, improved PI prevention knowledge between CCNs not merely enhances the high quality of care provided to patients but also decreases the number of critical patients suffering from PI, as well as the duration of their hospital stays (Serpa et al, 2011).…”

Background: Pressure injuries are a considerable problem for hospitalized critically ill and elderly patients, as such injuries produce pain, and reduce total wellbeing, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality, as well as often extending those patients’ hospital staysPurpose: The purpose of this study was to determine critical care nurses knowledge, attitudes, and perceived barriers toward pressure injuries prevention.Design: A descriptive cross-sectional survey was performed, using a questionnaire method to critical care nurses’. The study took place between August and October 2017 and involved ten hospitals: two university hospital, six public hospitals, and two private hospitals. Methods: Data were collected by means of a questionnaire using two valid and reliable instruments: i) the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool 2⋅0, and ii) Attitude Toward Pressure Ulcer Prevention and two newly developed instruments sociodemographic and perceived barriers toward pressure injury prevention.Results: The entire mean knowledge score for the participants was 54.9%, and overall high attitude scores were 76.7%. Level of education, years employed in a critical care unit, training received on pressure injury prevention, and the number of papers read on pressure injury prevention was all identified as having a significant and independent effect on participants’ knowledge concerning prevention of pressure injuries. To evaluate the effect of demographic characteristics on nurses’ attitudes, the only significant variable was "years of employment in critical care units". Shortage of staff was the most commonly cited barrier faced by critical care nurses’ during practice.
