Resumo
PEREZ-MUNOZ, Marta; LOPEZ-CASANOVA, Pablo; VERDU-SORIANO, José e BERENGUER-PEREZ, Miriam. Effectiveness of postural changes in the prevention of pressure injuries in primary and home care patients. Gerokomos [online]. 2022, vol.33, n.4, pp.269-273. Epub 24-Jul-2023. ISSN 1134-928X.
Objectives:
To analyze the efficacy of postural changes in the prevention on pressure injuries in primary and socio-health care.
Methodology:
A systematic review of the literature has been carried out in databases: MEDLINE (PubMed), SciELO, TSEO and Google Academy. Information has also been extracted from university repositories. The selected articles are systematic reviews, clinical trials and a historical review.
Results:
A total of 568 articles were found, of which 15 met the inclusion criteria. Included randomized clinical trials were condcuted in nursing home or long-stay hospitals.
Conclusions:
The frequency of postural changes implies great controversy. Nevertheless, the lower incidence of pressure ulcers is related to postural changes every 3 h and to viscoelastic mattresses.
Palavras-chave : Pressure ulcer; postural change; frequency; primary health care.
