The occurrence of pressure ulcers in long-term care facilities is regarded as a nursing-sensitive indicator of care. The aim of this study was to measure the frequency, categories, and points of origin of pressure ulcers in German nursing homes.
In spring 2010, a nationwide prevalence study was conducted in 52 nursing homes (n=3610 residents). According to a standardized study protocol, trained nurses collected data about pressure ulcer risk and pressure ulcers.
The prevalence of pressure ulcers was 3.9% (95% CI 3.3-4.6). Excluding skin redness, the proportion of pressure ulcers of nursing home origin was 1.2% (95% CI 0.9-1.6). Risk-adjusted (adjusted for immobility) results showed no statistically significant differences between institutions.
Compared to international figures, the prevalence of pressure ulcers in German nursing homes is very low.
长期护理机构中压疮的发生被视为护理质量的一项护理敏感指标。本研究旨在测量德国养老院中压疮的发生率、类别及起源部位。
2010年春季,在52所养老院(n = 3610名居民)开展了一项全国性患病率研究。按照标准化研究方案,经过培训的护士收集了有关压疮风险和压疮的数据。
压疮患病率为3.9%(95%置信区间3.3 - 4.6)。排除皮肤发红情况后,养老院源性压疮的比例为1.2%(95%置信区间0.9 - 1.6)。风险调整后(针对活动能力受限进行调整)的结果显示,各机构之间无统计学上的显著差异。
与国际数据相比,德国养老院中压疮的患病率非常低。
