“…Studies analyzing the ADL and PU are scarce, and the data of this study are consistent with the trend in the literature that investigated the issue (22)(23) . A study with institutionalized elderly found that for each increase of one point on the scale of ADL, the risk of PU increases 1.38 times (14) .…”

Persons in palliative care develop pressure ulcers (PU) as death approaches, but the extent of the problem is still unknown. The objectives were to identify the prevalence of pressure ulcers in people with cancer in palliative home care, compare the socio-demographic and clinical profile of patients with and without pressure ulcers, and analyze the characteristics of the ulcers. This descriptive, cross-sectional study included 64 people with advanced cancer in palliative home care. Twelve of them (18.8%) had PU, of whom 75.0% were men. The participants had one to three PU, amounting to 19 lesions, 89.4% of those developed at home and 47.4% at stage 3. The presence of PU was higher among those who had a history of previous wound. PU consisted of a significant event occurring in the studied population, indicating that preventive measures should be included in the home palliative care health team.

Objective: To investigate the impact of an educational intervention on home support workers' ability to detect early pressure ulcer damage. Method: A repeated measure design was employed to quantify the effectiveness of an educational intervention, consisting of one pre-test and two post-tests. Results: Education was provided to home support workers and this was followed by an assessment of their ability to correctly classify 20 photographs detailing varying stages of skin damage severity. At the baseline (pre-education), 58% of the photographs were classified correctly. At post-test 1, 55% of the photographs were classified correctly. In post-test 2 this increased to 58%, achieving the original baseline scores. There was a moderate negative relationship between pre-training and post-test 2 scores (r=-0.44; n=27; p=0.02). Conclusions: The educational intervention has been shown not to have a statistically significantly positive effect on home support workers' ability to detect early pressure ulcer damage. The moderate negative relationship between pre-training and post-test 2 scores concur with the aforementioned qualitative findings, and similarly indicate behaviour associated with individuals experiencing difficulty comprehending new health terms.

ÖZETHastaların 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.
