| Περίληψη: | The complications of pressure ulcers are severe and include pain, infection and increased mortality. Reduced mobility, sensory loss, incontinence and cognitive impairment are some of the factors known to elevate pressure ulcer risk. Nurses have an important role to play in the assessment of pressure ulcer risk and the implementation of preventive strategies, alongside other multidisciplinary professionals. Inconsistencies in evidence-based practice can lead to avoidable harm in health care. It is therefore crucial that barriers that impact pressure ulcer prevention strategies are identified, in order to implement changes to reduce avoidable harm. |
