This study aimed to determine the quality of life of patients with pressure injuries and the factors associated with them.
This descriptive and correlative study was conducted between January 2022 and July 2023 at one private and two state hospitals in Türkiye. Data were collected using a demographic and clinical history form, the Pressure Ulcer Quality of Life Scale- Turkish.
In this study, the mean quality of life score of the patients with pressure injuries was 65.28 ± 12.71, and according to the Pressure Ulcer Quality of Life Scale- Turkish score of the patients, the areas with the worst quality of life were mobility and movement, activity, pain, sleep, odor, and exudate, respectively. The most important variables that negatively affected the quality of life were determined to be the number of pressure injuries, prolonged healing time, and diagnosis of diabetes. In contrast, the variable that positively affected the quality of life was determined as having had any previous surgical experience.
It is recommended that the results obtained from this study should be utilized in determining national and institutional strategies to improve the quality of life of patients with pressure injuries and that interventional studies should be planned to improve the quality of life of patients with pressure injuries.
本研究旨在确定压疮患者的生活质量及其相关因素。
本描述性相关性研究于2022年1月至2023年7月在土耳其的一家私立医院和两家公立医院进行。使用人口统计学和临床病史表格、压疮生活质量量表 - 土耳其语版收集数据。
在本研究中，压疮患者的平均生活质量得分为65.28±12.71，根据患者的压疮生活质量量表 - 土耳其语版评分，生活质量最差的方面分别是 mobility and movement（活动与移动）、activity（活动能力）、pain（疼痛）、sleep（睡眠）、odor（气味）和 exudate（渗出液）。确定对生活质量产生负面影响的最重要变量为压疮数量、愈合时间延长和糖尿病诊断。相比之下，对生活质量产生积极影响的变量被确定为有过任何手术经历。
建议将本研究所得结果用于确定提高压疮患者生活质量的国家和机构策略，并应规划干预性研究以改善压疮患者的生活质量。
