Braden量表在预防老年长期卧床住院患者压疮中的应用

Application of Braden scale in the prevention of pressure ulcers for elderly long-term bedridden patients

目的探讨Braden压疮风险评估量表对老年长期卧床住院患者压疮的预防效果。方法将88例老年长期卧床患者随机分为实验组和对照组,每组44例。对照组采用每2 h翻身1次等常规的压疮预防措施;实验组在对照组基础上采用Braden压疮风险评估量表进行评估,并根据不同的评估结果给予相应的针对性干预措施。比较2组患者的压疮发生率。结果对照组中有2例发生压疮,压疮发生率4.5%,实验组无压疮发生,组间差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论对老年长期卧床住院患者采取有效的压疮预防和护理措施能够显著降低压疮发生率,提高患者的生存质量。

Objective To study the effect of Braden scale in the prevention of pressure ulcers for elderly long - term bedridden patients. Methods A total of 88 elderly long-term bedridden pa- tients were randomly divided into test group and control group, with 44 cases in each group. The con- trol group adopted conventional nursing of pressure ulcers once for every two hours, and the test group adopted Braden scale evaluation on the basis of control group. The incidence rate of pressure ulcers for two groups was compared. Results The control group had 2 cases with pressure ulcers and its inci- dence rate was 4.5%. The test group had no pressure ulcers patients, there was significant between- group difference （P 〈 0.05 ）. Conclusion Effective prevention and nursing for elderly long-term bed- ridden patients can greatly reduce the incidence of pressure ulcers and improve patient＇s quality of life.
