Despite focused attention to improve the quality and safety of patient care, and the financial impact pressure ulcers (PUs) can have on a health care provider or institution, evidence supports that PUs continue to occur in other patient populations during admission to the hospital. An example of a patient population in which evidence indicates that the development of PUs occurs, is patients who have a surgical procedure. The article discusses a project designed to identify potential knowledge deficits among perioperative nurses of indicators for PU development in the surgical patient population.
尽管人们集中精力致力于提高患者护理的质量和安全性，且压疮（PU）会对医疗服务提供者或机构造成财务影响，但有证据表明，在患者住院期间，其他患者群体中仍会出现压疮。有证据显示会发生压疮的一类患者群体是接受外科手术的患者。本文讨论了一个项目，该项目旨在识别围手术期护士在外科手术患者群体中关于压疮发生指标方面潜在的知识欠缺。
