Pressure injuries/ulcers are a global health issue, and there is a need for clinicians from many countries and continents to express their opinions on the terminology change (pressure ulcer to injury) and revised staging definitions. A convenience, opinion survey sample of clinicians from the Western Asia Gulf Region enrolled in a yearlong wound care course participated by expressing their opinion about these changes. Results reveal support for the pressure injury terminology and the revised staging definitions.
压疮是一个全球性的健康问题，许多国家和各大洲的临床医生都需要对术语变更（从压疮到损伤）和修订后的分期定义发表意见。来自西亚海湾地区的临床医生组成了一个便利的意见调查样本，他们参加了为期一年的伤口护理课程，并对这些变更表达了自己的看法。结果显示，他们支持压疮术语和修订后的分期定义。
