Abstract

Objectives: to assess the implementation of the guideline "Risk assessment and prevention of pressure ulcers (PU) for interprofessional teams” by the Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO®) at the Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves (Granada, Spain), with the objective of identifying any improvements made in professional training, in the care process, and in the health outcomes for patients with PU.
Method: a descriptive longitudinal retrospective study (2018-2022). Variables: training given, materials prepared, age, gender, risk assessment for PU, specific care plan, use of a special surface for pressure management, previous and new PU, PU categories, PU healing, and hospitalization days.
Results: training went from three activities and 86 attendees to 16 activities and 229 attendees, and nine support materials were prepared. Risk assessment and care plan were applied to >88% of the sample. The use of special surfaces was reduced to 57.1% in 2021; 49.2% of patients presented a new lesion during their hospital stay, with Category II as the predominant; 42.6% of the lesions treated presented healing signs.
Conclusions: the implementation has represented an increase in training activities for updating the knowledge regarding methodology for evidence implementation and in PU management. The process of care for patients with PU is conducted following only some of the recommendations in the guideline, and an improvement is required. There are signs pointing to a reduction in the number of hospital PU.
