The purpose of this study was to measure the prevalence of pressure injuries (PIs) in hospitalized patients with cancer.
Multicenter, cross-sectional prevalence survey.
The sample comprised 110 adults with cancer; their mean age was 50.65 years (SD: 17.32); and more than half were females (n = 60, 54.5%). The study setting was 5 hospitals in Jordan.
A prevalence survey was conducted using methods recommended by the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel. Data collection included skin assessment, PI risk, and preventive measures.
The prevalence of PIs was 15.5% (n = 17); it was 7.3% (n = 8) when grade/category I PIs were excluded. Heel PIs were the most frequent (n = 11; 64.7%) and most PIs were grade I (n = 9; 52.9%). Only 26.9% of at-risk patients received appropriate preventive interventions.
Study findings support the need to prioritize PI prevention in patients with cancer. Additional research is needed to add to the knowledge base regarding PIs within vulnerable groups such as individuals with cancer.
本研究旨在测量癌症住院患者中压力性损伤（PI）的患病率。
多中心横断面患病率调查。
样本包括110名成年癌症患者；他们的平均年龄为50.65岁（标准差：17.32）；超过一半为女性（n = 60，54.5%）。研究地点为约旦的5家医院。
采用欧洲压疮咨询小组推荐的方法进行患病率调查。数据收集包括皮肤评估、PI风险和预防措施。
PI的患病率为15.5%（n = 17）；排除I级/类别I的PI后，患病率为7.3%（n = 8）。足跟PI最为常见（n = 11；64.7%），且大多数PI为I级（n = 9；52.9%）。只有26.9%的高危患者接受了适当的预防干预措施。
研究结果支持在癌症患者中优先预防PI的必要性。需要进一步开展研究，以增加关于癌症等弱势群体中PI的知识库。
