- Abstract
Pressure injury is a local tissue damage occurring in the skin and underlying tissues due to factors such as pressure, friction, shear, and similar influences. Despite advancements in science and technology, pressure injurys continue to pose a significant problem. Instances of pressure injurys are more frequently encountered, especially in intensive care units, palliative care centers, and in patients receiving end-of-life care, as well as in immobilized patients. Pressure injury often occur in the sacrum, coccyx, ischial tuberosities, greater trochanters, elbows, heels, scapulae, cristae, lateral and medial regions. Pressure injury, which can develop especially in areas where bone protrusions are present; It is more common in the sacrum, coccyx, occipital, scapula and heels if the patient is in the supine position, in the shoulder heads, thorachanter, kneecap area and ankles in patients who always lie in the lateral position, and in the gluteal part and scapula in the sitting position. According to the National Pressure Injury Advisory Panel system, the most widely accepted classification system in the USA, pressure injury are classified as Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4, Unstageable Pressure Injury, Suspected Deep Tissue Injury, Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury, Mucous Membrane Pressure Injury". This classification system used plays an important role in clinical practice in assessing the severity of pressure injury and treatment options. While pressure injury are a preventable condition, their occurrence leads to prolonged hospital stays, increased morbidity and mortality rates, heightened workload and care costs for healthcare professionals, potential development of secondary infections, and a rise in deaths attributed to complications. Therefore, there is a need to enhance the knowledge and awareness of pressure injury, particularly among nurses providing 24-hour care and other healthcare professionals. This article aims to provide information, accompanied by visuals, about recognizing and staging pressure injury, and discusses preventive care behaviors related to pressure injury.
