Abstract

Pressure sores are accepted as an indicator of inadequate care all over the world. It also prolongs the length of hospital stay and increases the rates of mortality and morbidity. In our study, the effects of hemoglobin and albumen values on the development of pressure ulcers were investigated. The sample of the descriptive study consisted of 68 adults over the age of 18 who were hospitalized in intensive care clinics between November 2021 and March 2022. The mean age of the patients included in the study was 67.08±14.35 years. Of them, 42.6% were women, 17.6% were intubated, and 57.4% had the normal state of consciousness. The rate of pressure ulcer development in patients was 26.5%. In our study, it was determined that hemoglobin and albumin values in patients with pressure ulcers hospitalized in intensive care clinics were lower than those without pressure ulcers, and the difference was statistically significant.

Yoğun Bakım Kliniklerinde Yatan Hastalarda Hemoglobin ve Albümin Değerlerinin Basınç Yarası Gelişimine Etkisi

Abstract

Bası yaraları tüm dünyada bakımın yetersizliğinin bir göstergesi olarak kabul edilmektedir. Ayrıca hastanede yatış süresini uzatmakta ve mortalite ve morbitide oranlarını da arttırmaktadır. Çalışmamızda hemoglobin ve albümün değerlerini basınç yarası gelişimi üzerine olan etkisi incelenmiştir. Tanımlayıcı tipte olan araştırmanın örneklemini Kasım 2021 – Mart 2022 tarihleri arasında yoğun bakım kliniklerinde yatan 18 yaş üzeri 68 yetişkin birey oluşturdu. Çalışma kapsamına alınan hastaların yaş ortalamalarının 67.08±14.35, %42.6’sının kadın, %17.6’sının entübe, %57.4’ünün normal bilinç düzeyine sahip olduğu belirlendi. Hastalarda basınç yarası gelişme oranı %26.5’dir. Çalışmamızda yoğun bakım kliniklerinde yatan, bası yarası gelişen hastalarda hemoglobin ve albümin değerlerinin bası yarası gelişmeyen hastalara göre daha düşük olduğu ve farkın istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir.
