摘要:

Ethical and psychosocial considerations in caring for patients with pressure ulcers are explored in relation to the consequential and the nonconsequential schools of ethical thought. The principles of ethical decision making are related to wound management in terms of beneficence, nonmaleficence, justice, veracity and confidentiality, autonomy and liberty. Allocation of scarce resources and the conduct of research influence ethical decision making in wound management.

摘要:

The nursing diagnosis “Potential Impaired Skin Integrity: Pressure Ulcer” provides a model for determining pressure ulcer risk. This article describes assessment parameters and risk factors that may be useful in the assessment of pressure ulcer risk. Results of a diagnostic content validity study of this diagnosis conducted by the author (Sparks, 1990) are presented.

摘要:

A retrospective chart audit of 55 patients placed on specialty beds in the medical and surgical intensive care units of a tertiary care hospital during 1989 was performed to establish criteria for placement on specialty beds. A modified Knoll Assessment of Pressure Ulcer Potential tool was used to determine which risk factors were common among the patients. Mean total risk scores was 21.15 with a standard deviation of 4.74. Significant correlations were found between seven of the eight risk factors and the total risk score. A high total score on the modified Knoll tool indicates a need for placement on specialty beds.

摘要:

Implementation of a clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of electrotherapy on pressure ulcer healing provided the stimulus for adopt ion of research-based innovations for pressure ulcer treatment in one long-term care facility. A five-year retrospective study conducted prior to introduction of the clinical trial revealed that 72 different treatments were applied to pressure ulcers. Forty-two percent of the pressure ulcers were left open to the air or covered with a dry gauze dressing and 64% were treated with some type of antiseptic solution. Since implementation of the clinical trial and the accompanying access to wound healing research knowledge it provided in this setting, the prevailing treatment for pressure ulcers has become moist physiologic dressings.
