“…The research conducted by de Laat et al presented evidence indicating that a previous history of PUs does not correlate with future responsible or compliant behavior in terms of health management among paraplegic patients 30 . Furthermore, the advantageous elements of interventions aimed at self-management support have demonstrated their efficacy, thereby providing valuable implications for healthcare professionals in terms of guiding their support for individuals at risk of PUs 31 .…”

Limited information is available regarding the prevalence of pressure ulcers (PUs) in residential homes in Central Asia. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify the prevalence rates and risk factors associated with PUs among residents of long-term care medical institutions in the Republic of Kazakhstan. This cross-sectional study was conducted in four long-term care institutions in Kazakhstan. The study sample consisted of 640 patients who were assessed for the presence of PUs and associated risk factors. The evaluation was performed using the International Prevalence Measurement of Care Quality (Landelijke Prevalentiemeting Zorgkwaliteit, LPZ), the Braden scale, and the Care Dependency Score (CDS). The overall prevalence of PUs, classified as categories I–IV, was found to be 37%. When excluding category I PUs, the prevalence decreased to 35.6%. The odds ratios (ORs) for presenting with PUs were as follows: history of stroke (OR 5.22), diseases of the digestive system (OR 10.01), presence of spinal cord lesions/paraplegia (OR 20.50), recent reported confusion within the last 7 days (OR 184.00), and limited extent dependency according to the CDS (OR 4.44; 95%CI 1.31–16.1). It is imperative to establish specialized training programs aimed at equipping medical personnel, relatives, and patients themselves with the necessary skills to provide optimal care for individuals affected by PUs.

“…The current literature points towards a new paradigm for treating and preventing PIs, including both pragmatic and health technology-based solutions, through the combination of different clinical approaches [59][60][61]. Despite the increase in clinical healthcare technology (CHT) innovation applied in PI prevention in recent years [62][63][64], solutions such as interface map pressure, telemedicine, and educational technologies (among others) have demonstrated moderate effectiveness in addressing a subset of risk factors [64][65][66].…”

Development of Smart Clothing to Prevent Pressure Injuries in Bedridden Persons and/or with Severely Impaired Mobility: 4NoPressure Research Protocol

et al. 2023

Pressure injuries (PIs) are a major public health problem and can be used as quality-of-care indicators. An incipient development in the field of medical devices takes the form of Smart Health Textiles, which can possess innovative properties such as thermoregulation, sensing, and antibacterial control. This protocol aims to describe the process for the development of a new type of smart clothing for individuals with reduced mobility and/or who are bedridden in order to prevent PIs. This paper’s main purpose is to present the eight phases of the project, each consisting of tasks in specific phases: (i) product and process requirements and specifications; (ii and iii) study of the fibrous structure technology, textiles, and design; (iv and v) investigation of the sensor technology with respect to pressure, temperature, humidity, and bioactive properties; (vi and vii) production layout and adaptations in the manufacturing process; (viii) clinical trial. This project will introduce a new structural system and design for smart clothing to prevent PIs. New materials and architectures will be studied that provide better pressure relief, thermo-physiological control of the cutaneous microclimate, and personalisation of care.

“…8 However, after reviewing these and other similar approaches, these approaches do not respond objectively to the individual's behavior. 9 More recently, personal-use in-seat movement tracking and pressure management mHealth systems have emerged that include instrumentation added to the chair or cushion with communication to a smartphone for self-monitoring of seating behaviors. [10][11][12][13][14] Technologies often focus on users with a spinal cord injury (SCI) because the combination of mobility and sensory impairments puts them at especially high risk for pressure injuries.…”

Introduction This study aimed to understand the degree to which two different mobile health assistive technologies, AW-Shift© and Sensoria® Mat, addressed seven constructs for managing wheelchair-related in-seat movement and pressure. Methods After using each intervention system, participants answered questions regarding the general usability and usefulness of the systems. Results System Usability Survey scores ranged from 5 (Poor) to 97.5 (Excellent), with a median response of 60.0 (Okay) for AW-Shift© and 76.3 (Good) for Sensoria® Mat. Participants reported using AW-Shift© to check areas of high pressure on their cushion, the quality of their weight shifts, and their posture significantly more often than to check the condition of their cushion or to track their movement goals. Participants reported using Sensoria® Mat to check the quality and number of weight shifts, and their posture significantly more often than to check the condition of their cushion. Conclusions The findings of this study highlight that there is no one-size-fits-all solution and that different subpopulations of wheelchair users may have different needs and preferences. Optimizing the design for specific cohorts or constructs can result in an effective product that consistently provides meaningful and accurate information about behavior and performance.
