Abstract
Introduction: The need for care and palliative care increased with the prolongation of mean life expectancy. One of the most frequently observed symptoms in palliative care is pressure ulcers. We aimed to measure the knowledge levels of caregivers serving hospitalized patients in the palliative care service and to investigate their relationship with socio-demographic characteristics, especially the knowledge levels.Methods: This study enrolled 109 people providing care to patients who received inpatient palliative care between November 1 and December 31, 2018. A questionnaire including questions about socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge about pressure ulcers was administered. The pressure ulcer status of the patients was evaluated by a physician. Results: The mean age of the caregivers was 49.49 ± 10.91 years (22-69). The mean knowledge level of the participants was 70.09 ± 18.58%. The minimum score was 0, and the maximum score was 100. It was found that 62.4% of the caregivers received information about pressure ulcers in the past, 30.3% of them didn’t receive any information about pressure ulcers, and 7.3% received partial information.Conclusion: The knowledge level of the caregivers who were informed about pressure ulcers was significantly higher than those who were not informed (p=0.005). Therefore, we think that continuous education has an essential place in preventing pressure ulcers.
引言:随着平均预期寿命的延长,对照护及姑息治疗的需求日益增加。压疮是姑息治疗中最常见的症状之一。本研究旨在评估在姑息治疗病房为住院患者提供照护的照护者的知识水平,并探讨其与社会人口学特征(尤其是知识水平)之间的关系。 方法:本研究纳入了2018年11月1日至12月31日期间为接受姑息治疗住院患者提供照护的109名照护者。研究采用包含社会人口学特征和压疮认知相关问题的问卷进行调查。患者的压疮状况由医师进行评估。 结果:照护者的平均年龄为49.49 ± 10.91岁(22–69岁)。参与者的平均知识水平得分为70.09 ± 18.58%(最低得分为0分,最高得分为100分)。结果显示,62.4%的照护者既往接受过压疮相关宣教,30.3%未接受过任何压疮相关宣教,7.3%接受过部分宣教。 结论:接受过压疮宣教的照护者,其知识水平显著高于未接受过宣教者(p=0.005)。因此,我们认为持续健康教育在预防压疮中具有至关重要的作用。
