Abstract
RUIZ-PRIETO, Daniel and LOPEZ-MEDINA, Isabel María. Affectation of the psychological and social dimension in people with pressure injuries. Index Enferm [online]. 2022, vol.31, n.3, pp.185-189. Epub Feb 06, 2023. ISSN 1699-5988.
Objective:
To know how pressure injuries affect the psychological or social dimension of people.
Methods:
Systematic review of the existing scientific literature in the main databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Scopus, Cuiden, Cochrane and LILACS).
Results:
A total of 20 studies have been included in the review, 11 of them are quantitative, 7 are qualitative and 2 are systematic reviews. The results obtained show that people who have pressure injuries have lower scores on the psychological and social dimension than those who do not have such injuries, having a worse perception on both dimensions.
Conclusions:
Pressure injuries have a negative impact on the psychological and social dimension of people, producing different problems such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, fear, anger, isolation or social restrictions, among others.
Keywords : Health-Related Quality of Life; Pressure ulcer; Psychological dimension; Social dimension.
