RUIZ-PRIETO, Daniel e LOPEZ-MEDINA, Isabel María. Health-related quality of life and physical affectation in people with pressure injuries. Gerokomos [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.3, pp.192-197. Epub 31-Jul-2023. ISSN 1134-928X.
Objective:
To analyze health-related quality of life of people with pressure injuries and determine how their physical dimension is affected.
Methodology:
A systematic review was carried out using different search chains and databases (CINAHL, Cuiden, Cochrane, PubMed, Scopus and LILACS), including quantitative, qualitative studies and systematic reviews on health-related quality of life and how pressure injuries affect the physical dimension of people, previously analyzing the methodological quality of the studies using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASPe) tool.
Results:
A total of 19 studies have been included in the review, of which 10 are quantitative, 7 qualitative and the remaining 2 systematic reviews. Of these, 8 analyze the health-related quality of life in people with pressure injuries and 18 the impact of these injuries on the physical dimension. Study results show that people with pressure injuries have worse health-related quality of life and lower scores in the physical dimension than those who do not have these injuries, causing different problems on this dimension such as sleep disorders or physical restrictions.
Conclusions:
People with pressure injuries perceive a worse health-related quality of life than those who do not have these injuries, negatively affecting their physical dimension.
