ÖZET Amaç: Bu araştırma, bir üniversite hastanesinin pediatri yoğun bakım ünitesine (PYBÜ) 1 Ocak 2013-31 Aralık 2013 tarihleri arasında yatan hastalarda oluşan basınç yarası oranını, basınç yarasının özelliklerini ve sonuçlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla retrospektif ve tanımlayıcı olarak gerçekleştirildi.Yöntem: İlgili birimlerden gerekli izinler alındıktan sonra yapılan araştırmada, veri toplama aracı olarak literatür ışığında araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan “Hasta Tanılama Formu” ve "Braden Risk Değerlendirme Ölçeği" kullanıldı. Verilerin analizi SPSS 17.0 paket programında tanımlayıcı istatistiksel yöntemlerden sayı ve yüzdelik hesaplamalar kullanılarak yapıldı. Bulgular: Elde edilen verilere göre; üniteye toplam 321 hastanın kabul edildiği; %72.5'inin (n=233) yüksek riskli grupta yer aldığı; bu hastalardan, %10.7’sinde (n=25) basınç yarasının oluştuğu; basınç yarası gelişen hastaların, %60’ının (n=15) erkek, %48’inin (n=11) 1 ay-1 yaş arasında, %84’ünün 1. evrede olduğu; basınç yarasının en çok ayak topuğunda (%24) ve oksipital bölgede (%20) oluştuğu; hastaların %32’sinde, oluşan basınç yarasının bakım ve tedavide kullanılan alet/malzeme (%12'si flaster, %8’i idrar sondası ya da saturasyon probu) nedeni ile basınç yarası oluştuğu  saptandı. Sonuç: Üniteye kabul edilen hastaların %10.7'sinde (n=25) basınç yarası geliştiği ve hastaların %60’ının basınç yaralarının iyileşerek başka bir servise transfer edildiği görüldü. Basınç yarasının önlenebilmesinde, geçerli ve güvenilir tanılama araçlarının kullanımının sağlanması ve sürdürülmesi; önleyici hemşirelik bakımı protokollerinin oluşturularak kullanılması önemlidir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Basınç yarası; pediatri yoğun bakım; hemşirelik. ABSTRACTWhere We are on Pressure Ulcers?: Data of Last Year in Pediatric Intensive Care UnitObjective: This research was conducted retrospective and descriptive in pediatric intensive care unit of a university hospital between January 1, 2013 to 31 December 2013. The aim of study was to describe the frequency of pressure ulcers, and to evaluate the results and characteristics of the pressure ulcers were performed.Method: After obtaining the necessary approvals from the relevant units in the research, data collection tool developed by the researchers in the literature as "Patient Assessment Form" and "Braden Risk Assessment Scale" was used. Data analyzed with SPSS 17.0 package program number and percentage of descriptive statistical calculations were performed using the method.Result: According to the data obtained; A total of 321 patients in the unit are accepted; 72.5% (n=233) that takes place in high-risk groups; of these patients, 10.7% (n=25) in which the formation of pressure ulcers; of patients developing pressure ulcers, 60% (n=15) were male, 48% (n=11) between 1 month and 1 year of age, 84% of which is in phase 1; In most of heel pressure ulcers (24%) and occipital regions (20%) occurred; 32% of patients in the resulting pressure ulcer care and treatment tools used / materials (12% plaster, 8% of the urinary catheter or saturation probe) as a result of pressure ulcers occurred was determined.Conclusion: The patients admitted to the unit of 10.7% (n=25) who developed pressure ulcers and pressure ulcers in 60% of patients recovered and were found to be transferred to another service. The prevention of pressure ulcers, the use of valid and reliable diagnostic tools to ensure and maintain; The use of protocols establishing preventive nursing care is important.Keywords: Pressure ulcer; pediatric intensive care; nursing.
