“…Research exploring the factors influencing the implementation of evidence-based practice in pressure ulcer prevention and management in community settings has identified how healthcare practitioners regard informal carers as central to both pressure ulcer prevention and wound-healing [10]. Four recent studies have explored carer input into pressure ulcer prevention and management, and their perspectives of the factors affecting pressure ulcer care in the home [11,12,13,14]. The findings emphasized high levels of carer burden and highlighted the paucity of carer training and the importance of communication with healthcare practitioners.…”

BACKGROUND Pressure ulcers are areas of skin damage resulting from sustained pressure. Informal carers play a central role preventing pressure ulcers amongst older and disabled people living at home. Research highlights the paucity of pressure ulcer training for informal carers and suggests pressure ulcer risk is linked to high levels of carer burden. OBJECTIVE This pilot study evaluated a smartphone app with a specific focus on pressure ulcer prevention education for informal carers. The app was shaped by the principles of micro-learning. The study aimed to explore carer perspectives on the acceptability of the app and determine whether the app increased carers’ knowledge and confidence in their caring role. METHODS In this concurrent mixed methods study, participants completed quantitative questionnaires at baseline, and at the end of weeks 2 and 6, which examined caregiving self-efficacy, preparedness for caregiving, caregiver strain, and pressure ulcer knowledge, as well as app acceptability and usability. A sub-sample of participants took part in a ‘think aloud’ interview in week 1 as well as semi-structured interviews at the end of weeks 2 and 6. RESULTS In total, 23 (71.9%) participants completed the questionnaire at the end of week 2 and 16 (50%) at the end of week 6. For the qualitative component, 21 carers participated in ‘think aloud’ interviews, 18 went on to participate in semi-structured interviews at the end of week 2, and 13 at the end of week 6. Pressure ulcer knowledge scores significantly changed (F(1, 6.112)=21.624, p<0.001) from baseline(mean=37.5, se=2.926) to the second follow-up (mean=59.72, se=3.985). In relation to the qualitative data, the theme ‘I’m more careful now and would react to signs of redness’ captured participants’ reflections on the new knowledge they had acquired, the changes they had made to their caring routines, their increased vigilance for signs of skin damage, and their intentions towards the app going forwards. There were no significant results pertaining to improved preparedness for caregiving or caregiving self-efficacy or related to the caregiver strain index. Participants reported relatively high usability scores on a 0-100 scale (mean=69.94, SD=18.108). The app functionality and information quality were also rated relatively highly on a 0-5 scale (mean=3.84, SD=0.704; mean=4.13, SD=0.452). Two themes pertaining to acceptability and usability were identified, ‘When you’re not used to these things, they take time to get the hang of’, and ‘It’s not a fun app but it is informative’. All participants liked the micro-learning approach. CONCLUSIONS The iCare app offers a promising way to convey information and improve informal carers’ pressure ulcer knowledge. However, to better support cares, the findings may reflect the need for future iterations of the app to employ more interactive elements, and the introduction of gamification and customisation to user preferences.

“…Através das consultas de enfermagem, visitas domiciliares, atividades de educação em saúde, grupos terapêuticos o enfermeiro desenvolve relações interpessoais de diálogo, escuta, respeito e humanização que dão significado ao fazer profissional e instrui a família e cuidados no manejo desses pacientes. (GIRONDI, 2018;NUNES et al, 2016) Devido ao aumento da taxa de envelhecimento e aumento da taxa de internamentos domiciliares, além das necessidades da assistência de enfermagem na prevenção de lesões de pele, emergiu a seguinte questão de pesquisa: quais as evidencias cientificas para evitar o surgimento de LPP em pacientes idosos frágeis atendidos em assistência domiciliar?…”

Os idosos são mais susceptíveis às lesões devido às próprias condições causadas pelo envelhecimento do corpo humano, sendo um problema de saúde pois, passam maior parte do tempo acamados ou sentados, e assim, ocasionando as lesões por pressão (LPP). O objetivo deste estudo foi elucidar as evidencias cientificas para evitar o surgimento de LPP em idosos na assistência domiciliar. Utilizou-se uma revisão integrativa de literatura, a partir de banco de dados: BDENF, MEDLINE, IBECS e LILACS. As bases de dados pesquisadas, pelo método adaptado PRISMA possibilitou localizar 279 estudos que abordam o tema, após identificação, seleção, elegibilidade e inclusão das pesquisas, foram consultadas 19 referências publicadas entre o ano de 2010 a 2019. A visita domiciliar (VD) que é efetivada por profissionais da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) oferece aos cuidadores e familiares dos idosos um período de prudência a respeito à assistência ofertada e a concretização de inovadas intervenções que são capazes de ser implantadas para promover saúde dessas pessoas. Conclui-se que o enfermeiro precisa conhecer todas os aspectos de risco para o desenvolvimento de LPP e sua prevenção de forma holística, garantido uma assistência de qualidade, direcionando a conduta e supervisão devida ao paciente, familiar e cuidador em seu domicílio.

Background: Pressure ulcers are areas of skin damage resulting from sustained pressure. Informal carers play a central role in preventing pressure ulcers among older and disabled people living at home. Studies highlight the paucity of pressure ulcer training for informal carers and suggest that pressure ulcer risk is linked to high levels of carer burden.Objective: This pilot study evaluated a smartphone app with a specific focus on pressure ulcer prevention education for informal carers. The app was developed based on the principles of microlearning. The study aimed to explore carer perspectives on the acceptability of the app and determine whether the app increased knowledge and confidence in their caring role. Methods:In this concurrent mixed methods study, participants completed quantitative questionnaires at baseline and at the end of weeks 2 and 6, which examined caregiving self-efficacy, preparedness for caregiving, caregiver strain, pressure ulcer knowledge, and app acceptability and usability. A subsample of participants participated in a "think aloud" interview in week 1 and semistructured interviews at the end of weeks 2 and 6.Results: Of the 32 participants, 23 (72%) participants completed the week 2 and 16 (50%) completed the week 6 questionnaires; 66% (21/32) of carers participated in qualitative "think aloud" interviews, and 18 (56%) also participated in semistructured interviews at week 2, and 13 (41%) at week 6. Pressure ulcer knowledge scores significantly changed (F 1,6.112 =21.624; P=.001) from baseline (mean 37.5; SE 2.926) to the second follow-up (mean 59.72, SE 3.985). Regarding the qualitative data, the theme "I'm more careful now and would react to signs of redness" captured participants' reflections on the new knowledge they had acquired, the changes they had made to their caring routines, their increased vigilance for signs of skin damage, and their intentions toward the app going forward. There were no significant results pertaining to improved preparedness for caregiving or caregiving self-efficacy or related to the Caregiver Strain Index. Participants reported above average usability scores on a scale of 0 to 100 (mean 69.94, SD 18.108). The app functionality and information quality were also rated relatively high on a scale of 0 to 5 (mean 3.84, SD 0.704 and mean 4.13, SD 0.452, respectively). Overall, 2 themes pertaining to acceptability and usability were identified: "When you're not used to these things, they take time to get the hang of" and "It's not a fun app but it is informative." All participants (n=32, 100%) liked the microlearning approach. Conclusions:The iCare app offers a promising way to improve informal carers' pressure ulcer knowledge. However, to better support carers, the findings may reflect the need for future iterations of the app to use more interactive elements and the introduction of gamification and customization based on user preferences.
