Detailed Description:
Palliative care is an approach that improves the quality of life of patients and their families facing problems related to life-threatening diseases This care model focuses on meeting the physical psychological social and spiritual needs of patients Pressure ulcers are one of the most common and serious problems in palliative care Pressure ulcers are injuries occurring on the skin or soft tissue They develop due to pressure on certain parts of the body over a long period of time If not treated immediately they may cause fatal complications Pressure ulcers affect more than 1 in 10 adult patients admitted to hospital and are highly preventable
Most palliative care patients cannot provide self-care Therefore caregivers are one of the most important determinants of the patients health status At this point the knowledge and skill levels of carers who provide direct care to patients are of great importance Increasing the level of knowledge and awareness of caregivers to prevent pressure ulcers is a critical strategy to prevent the formation of these wounds and to accelerate the healing of existing wounds In a systematic review of thirty-one articles it was stated that pressure ulcers significantly limit many aspects of an individuals well-being including mental and physical health and quality of life Therefore caregivers should have adequate knowledge about practices to prevent bedsores
