This study investigated the use and perceived effectiveness of available treatment products and procedures for pressure ulcers in extended care facilities (ECFs) in the southern border regions of Arizona, New Mexico, and west Texas. Respondents completed a questionnaire evaluating the effectiveness of products and procedures used by their facilities within the last 5 years. Using descriptive statistics, data from a sample of 96 ECFs in the southwestern United States were analyzed. Respondents reported a variety of products and procedures as effective, but the effectiveness of many of these products has not been supported by research, and some products have been found to be potentially harmful. ECFs are urged to select and use research-based, effective treatment protocols and guidelines for pressure ulcers.
本研究调查了亚利桑那州南部边境地区、新墨西哥州和得克萨斯州西部的长期护理机构（ECF）中现有压力性溃疡治疗产品和程序的使用情况及感知效果。受访者完成了一份问卷，评估其所在机构在过去5年中使用的产品和程序的有效性。使用描述性统计方法，对来自美国西南部96个长期护理机构样本的数据进行了分析。受访者报告了多种被认为有效的产品和程序，但其中许多产品的有效性并未得到研究支持，并且一些产品已被发现具有潜在危害。敦促长期护理机构选择并使用基于研究的、有效的压力性溃疡治疗方案和指南。
