Bazı Nijerya hastanelerinde dekübitis ülserleri için risk faktörlerinin ve koruyucu yöntemlerin değerlendirilmesi

AMAÇ: Bu Çaslışmanın amacı bazı Nijerya hastanelerindeki yatan hastaların basınç ülseri geliştirmede risk altında olup olmadıklarını ve sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından uyarlanmış koruyucu yöntemleri belirlemektir. YÖNTEM: Bu çalışmada iki kısımdan oluşan bir soru formu kullanıldı. Kısım A sosyodemografik bilgileri ve koruyucu yöntemleri içeren yapılandırılmış bir soru formuydu. Kısım B ise basınç ülseri gelişme riskini değerlendirmek için kullanılan Braden Ölçeği idi. Amaca yönelik olarak seçilmiş Güneybatı Nijerya’daki beş hastanede yatan 318 hasta bu çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü oldu. The statistical method that was employed was descriptive statistics. BULGULAR: Öalışmanın sonucu gösterdi ki; seçilmiş hastanelerdeki yatan hastalar basınç ülseri gelişmi için risk altındaydı. Ayrıca pratisyen hekimlerin %50,47’si ve hemşirelerin %49,52’si en az bir defa koruyucu yöntem reçete etmişken fizyoterapistlerin %31,23’ü reçete etti. Buna rağmen, dikkate değer sayıda hasta (%35,03) koruyucu önlemler hakkında herhangi bir sağlık personeli tarafından hiç bilgilendirilmedi. SONUÇ: Nijerya hastanelerinde yatan hastalar basınç ülseri gelişim açısından risk altındadır ve Nijerya’daki sağlık hizmeti sunucuları basınç ülserlerini önlemek için hastalara yeterli koruyucu yöntem reçete etmemektedir.

An evaluation of risk factors and preventive techniques for decubitus ulcers in selected Nigeria hospitals

AIM: The aim of this study was to determine if in-patients in some selected Nigeria hospitals are at risk of developing pressure sore and to determine the preventive techniques adopted by Health Care Professionals. METHOD: A questionnaire was used for this study and it was divided into two parts. The part A is a structured questionnaire that took care of socio-demographic data and preventive techniques while part B is the Braden Scale which was used to assess the risk of developing pressure ulcer. Three hundred and eighteen (318) In-patients in five Nigeria purposively selected hospitals in southwest Nigeria volunteered to participate in this study. The statistical method that was employed was descriptive statistics. RESULTS: The result of the study showed that In-patients in the selected hospitals are “at risk” of developing pressure ulcers. Also, General Practitioners (50.47%) and nursing staff (49.52%) mostly prescribed at least one of the preventive techniques while few (31.23%) reported that physiotherapists prescribed at least one of the preventive techniques. However, a considerable number of the patients (35.02%) were never informed by any of the health staff on preventive measures. CONCLUSION: It was concluded that In-patients in Nigeria hospitals are “at risk” of developing pressure ulcers and that health care providers in Nigeria are not prescribing adequate preventive techniques to prevent pressure ulcers.
