Abstract

ABSTRACT


Introduction and Aims: Home care services is an approach aiming at providing preventive, curative and rehabilitative health care effectively in a continuum. Pressure ulcers are common among patients receiving home care services.


Materials and Method: In this study, the medical files of 311 patients registered and managed by the home care services unit of Ankara Atatürk Training and Research Hospital between 01/12/2010 and 30/09/2012 were reviewed. Seventy one patients with pressure ulcers were included in the study

Findings: A total of 71 patients, of which 26 being male (36.60%) and 45 being female (63.40%), were included in the study. The median age of the patients with pressure ulcers was 80 (IQR:13). Pressure ulcer locations were sacral in 42 (59.20%), trochanteric in 10 (14.10%), heels in 3 (9.90%), thoracic vertabral and scapular in 3 (4.20%) and arms and other areas in 2 (2.80%) patients. Mean serum albümin was 3.20 ± 0.51 g/dL. Hypoalbuminemia was observed in 4 patients feeded via PEG, in 7 patients receiving oral enteral support and in 1 patient feeded via nasogastric tube.


Conclusison: Assessment of the risk factors should be a part of the first visit of every single patient registered for home care services. Nutritional support should be emphasized among high risk patients.

Abstract

ÖZET

Giriş ve Amaç: Evde bakım kavramı, koruyucu, tedavi ve rehabilite edici sağlık hizmetlerinin sürekliliğinin etkili biçimde sürdürülmesi amacını güden bir yaklaşımdır. Evde bakım hizmeti alan hastalarda bası yarası gelişimi sık görülmektedir.

Olgular ve Yöntem: Çalışmada 01/12/2010-30/09/2012 tarihleri arasında Ankara Atatürk Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Evde Sağlık Hizmetleri Birimi’nde takip ve tedavisi yapılan 311 hastanın dosyaları tarandı. Bası yarası olan 71 hasta çalışmaya alındı.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya 26 erkek (%36,60) ve 45 (%63,4) kadın olmak üzere toplam 71 hasta dahil edildi. Bası yarası olan hastaların ortanca yaşı 80 (IQR:13) olarak bulundu. 42 (%59,20) hastanın sakrumunda, 10 (%14,10) hastanın trokanterik bölgesinde, 7 (%9,90) hastanın topuğunda, 3 (%4,20) hastanın torakal vertebra ve skapuler bölgesinde, 2 (%2,80) hastanın kol ve diğer bölgelerinde bası yarası mevcuttu. Hastaların ortalama serum albumin değeri 3,20 ± 0,51 g/dL bulundu. PEG ile beslenen 4 hastada, enteral beslenme alan 7 hastada ve nazogastrik sonda ile beslenen 1 hastada hipoalbuminemi olduğu gözlendi.

Sonuç: Evde sağlık sistemine alınan her hastada, risk faktörlerinin değerlendirilmesi ilk muayenenin bir parçası olmalıdır. Riskli gruptaki hastalarda beslenme desteğinin önemi vurgulanmalıdır.
