Conocimientos del equipo de enfermería acerca de prevención de úlceras por presión

Autoría SCIMAGO INSTITUTIONS RANKINGS

RESUMEN

Objetivo:

describir y analizar los conocimientos del equipo de enfermería sobre clasificación, evaluación y medidas de prevención de úlceras por presión (UP) en pacientes internados en UTI de Hospital Universitario de la ciudad de Manaos.

Método:

estudio descriptivo y exploratorio, aprobado por Comité de Ética en Investigación Datos recolectados mediante instrumento validado. Muestra de 40 trabajadores, 14 de ellos enfermeros y 26 técnicos/auxiliares de enfermería. Los datos fueron analizados por estadística descriptiva y test t de Student, con valor de p<0,05.

Resultados:

los promedios globales de aciertos fueron de 63,4% para los técnicos/auxiliares y del 51,4% para los enfermeros, con diferencia estadísticamente significativa entre los grupos sólo para la categoría de prevención de UP (p<0,001).

Conclusión:

detectado déficit de conocimientos sobre prevención de UP entre enfermeros y técnicos/auxiliares de enfermería, resultando imperiosa la capacitación de estos profesionales.

1 - Stage ^* * Stage: the current word for stage is category, according to the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel/European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel 2009. I pressure ulcers are defined as intact skin with hyperemia of a localized area and non-blanchable redness or different color from the surrounding area (T)	8	66.6	14	50.0	22	55.0

32 - Lesions can develop faster on a region of the skin with pressure ulcer scar than on intact skin (T)	7	58.3	23	82.1	30	75.0
33 - A blister on the calcaneus region is not concerning (F)	11	91.6	24	85.7	35	87.5
38 - Stage II pressure ulcers can be extremely painful because of the exposure of nerve endings (T)	8	66.6	16	57.1	24	60.0

2 - The factors of risk to develop pressure ulcers are: immobility, incontinence, inadequate nutrition and change on consciousness level (T)	6	50.0	17	60.7	23	53.4
3 - All patients in risk for pressure ulcer should have their skin systematically inspected, at least once a week (F)	7	58.3	13	46.4	22	51.1

5 - It is important to massage the regions of bone prominence, if these have hyperemia (F)	7	58.3	5	17.8	13	30.2
7 - At the time of admission, all patients should be evaluated regarding the risk of developing pressure ulcer (T)	10	83.3	24	85.7	37	86.0
8 - Creams, transparent bandages and extra-thin hydrocolloid bandages help protecting the skin against the effects of friction (T)	4	33.3	7	25.0	13	30.2
