Aim: To describe pressure ulcer prevalence and prevention interventions in hospital care in Sweden based on nationwide surveys conducted over a 10-year period. Method: A cross-sectional research design was used. The methodology used was that recommended by the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel. Inclusion criteria were all adults (≥18 years) who were admitted to the unit before 7 am on the day of each survey. PUs were identified by visual skin assessment of the patients. Existing PUs were categorized according to EPUAP--NPIAPPPPIA classification system. Data were collected by two nurses visiting each patient; one registered nurse who was a team member and one nurse from another unit in order to guarantee objectivity. Results / Discussion: In total, more than 130 000 patients were included in the 10 prevalence surveys between 2011 and 2020. The pressure ulcer prevalence decreased from 17.0% to 11.4% . The majority of PUs were located on the sacrum and heels. The preventive interventions such as the use of pressure-reducing mattresses, sliding sheets, repositioning plans and heel protection increased during the years. The national patient safety program was successful in engaging hospitals to work systematically with pressure ulcer prevention. However, one in ten patients in Swedish hospitals still suffers from pressure ulcers. Conclusion: In the 10-year period of the study, PU prevalence has decreased while preventive measures have increased. However, the burden of PUs remains substantial in Swedish hospital care indicating that the need to continue to dedicate resources to PU prevention remains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
