Nursing Care for Bedridden Elders with Pressure Injury at Home: A Case Study
Keywords:
Advance wound care, Bedridden Patients, Nursing care, Pressure injuryAbstract
Pressure injury is the most common complication in impaired mobility patients, especially older patients who are bedridden. Infection is the most frequent serious complication of pressure injuries resulting in waste of hospital resources and a prolonged length of stay. Additionally, patients who experience both physical and psychological pressure injuries may become morbid and mortal. Therefore, a nurse plays a significant role in providing preventative care to patients through promotion, prevention, and treatment. In order to avoid complications from hospital wound infections, nursing care for patients with pressure injuries at home is recommended. Therefore, it is necessary to apply the SHA process (SHA: sustainable health care and health promotion by appreciation and accreditation) to provide patients in the community with high-quality procedures. The advantage of pressure injury treatment is that it encourages healing of the wound. A nurse participating as a consultant expends a minimal period of time with the family member or the primary caregiver. In this case study, a procedure called advanced wound care was applied using various types of wound care supplies to enhance the effectiveness of the wound healing process to reduce infection, inflammation, or re-admissions to hospitals and shorten the time it takes for wounds to heal. SHA principles could provide services for long-term health and health promotion.
