OBJECTIVE
Oncology patients are vulnerable to skin breakdown. The primary purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of skin tears (STs) in hospitalised patients with cancer and to explore related sociodemographic and clinical factors.
METHOD
This was an observational, epidemiological, cross-sectional study conducted in an oncology hospital in the city of São Paulo. All STs were classified using the STAR Classification adapted and validated for Brazil.
RESULTS
Of the 341 patients evaluated, 22 had STs, equating to a prevalence of 6.5%. A higher number of STs were noted on the lower limbs (26.9%) than on other body areas. The main factors associated with STs were the use of anticoagulants, the presence of ecchymosis and the use of incontinence briefs.
CONCLUSION
This study contributed to a better understanding of the epidemiology of STs in hospitalised patients with cancer, as well as its associated factors. Results may inform nursing professionals with regard to the need to develop prevention strategies and early interventions.
目的
肿瘤患者易发生皮肤破损。本研究的主要目的是评估住院癌症患者皮肤撕裂伤（STs）的发生率，并探讨相关的社会人口学和临床因素。
方法
这是一项在巴西圣保罗市一家肿瘤医院进行的观察性、流行病学、横断面研究。所有的 STs 均采用 STAR 分类法进行分类，该分类法经过改编和验证适用于巴西。
结果
在评估的 341 名患者中，22 名患者发生了 STs，发生率为 6.5%。下肢（26.9%）比其他身体部位更容易出现 STs。与 STs 相关的主要因素是使用抗凝剂、存在瘀斑和使用失禁短裤。
结论
本研究有助于更好地了解住院癌症患者 STs 的流行病学及其相关因素。研究结果可为护理人员提供信息，以便制定预防策略和早期干预措施。
