Prevention of pressure ulcers is one of the greatest healthcare challenges in terms of reducing patient harm. The literature shows that although numerous reports and policy documents have been published, pressure ulcer prevention remains an ongoing challenge. A number of innovations have been published offering practising nurses and managers ideas for raising awareness of skin care and preventing pressure ulcers. The majority of these have focused on patients in hospital settings with very little in the literature related to care-home and community initiatives. This article reports on an innovative approach to education for pressure ulcer prevention through collaboration between patients, carers and health and social care professionals.
就减少患者伤害而言，预防压疮是医疗保健领域面临的最大挑战之一。文献表明，尽管已发表了大量报告和政策文件，但压疮预防仍是一项持续存在的挑战。已发表了一些创新成果，为执业护士和管理人员提供了提高皮肤护理意识和预防压疮的思路。其中大多数都集中在医院环境中的患者身上，而文献中与护理院和社区举措相关的内容很少。本文报告了一种通过患者、护理人员以及健康和社会护理专业人员之间的合作来预防压疮的创新教育方法。
