Resumen
TEIXEIRA MACEDO, Andréia Barcellos et al. Characterization of pressure lesions in adults with multidrug resistant germs. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2020, vol.19, n.59, pp.155-192. Epub 10-Ago-2020. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.405051.
Objective:
To describe the characteristics of the pressure lesions in adult patients with multiresistant germs.
Method:
This is a cross-sectional study conducted with patients admitted to the inpatient unit for multidrug resistant germs in a public hospital in Brazil. Patients with pressure lesions from stage II were selected. Data collection took place in 2017, in a sample of 110 injuries, in patients, through the Pressure Ulcer State Assessment Instrument (Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool - BWAT).
Results:
The average age of the individuals was 45.4 (± 21.3) years old and 89.1% had already suffered pressure lesions, such as those that occurred at home or in other health institutions. The mean BWAT value was 35.5 ± 8.9 points and there was a weak positive correlation (r = 0.228 p = 0.017) with lesion size, moderate positive correlation with lesion stage (r = 540 p <0.001), and with the result of the Braden scale (r = 0.44 p = 0.651).
Conclusion:
The results indicated the illness of young patients. Patients with multiresistant germs suffered pressure lesions with greater involvement of structures, which suggests the need for home support.
