Pressure (decubitus) ulcers are injuries to skin and underlying

tissue resulting from prolonged pressure on the skin and one

of the negative conditions that disrupt the quality of life of the

person. Ulcers most often develop on skin that covers bony areas

of the body. Diagnosis and prevention of pressure ulcers as risk

factors immobility, lack of sensory perception, poor nutrition

and hydration, medical conditions affecting blood flow is very

important.

Nurses must to be sensitive about skin care, nutrition, position

changing, training and maintain the care with evidence-based

about pressure ulcers. This review contains information on causes,

risk factors and prevention of pressure ulcers.

Basınç Yaralarının Önlenmesinde Kanıt Temelli Uygulamalar

Öz

Basınç (dekübit) yaraları, cilt üzerinde uzun süreli basınçtan

kaynaklanan, bireyin yaşam kalitesini olumsuz etkileyen, cilt ve

altındaki dokuda meydana gelen yaralanmalardır. Yaralar, en sık

vücuttaki kemik bölgelerini kaplayan cilt üzerinde gelişir. Basınç

yaralarının gelişiminde risk faktörleri olarak; hareketsizlik, duyusal

algısal eksiklik, yetersiz beslenme, yetersiz hidrasyon, kan akışını

bozan tıbbi durumlar olarak belirtilmekte, erken tanılanmasının

önemi vurgulanmaktadır.

Basınç yaralarına yönelik hemşirelerin, cilt bakımı, beslenme,

pozisyon değişimi, eğitim ve kanıt temelli bir bakım sürdürme

konusunda duyarlı olmaları gerekir. Bu derleme, basınç yaralarının

nedenleri, ilişkin risk faktörleri ve basınç yaralarının önlenmesi

hakkında bilgiler içermektedir.
