Abstract:
Objective To study the status of caring behaviors among family caregivers of patients with pressure ulcer.Methods Convenience sampling method was adopted,and the caring behaviors were investigated among 146 family caregivers of patients with Ⅱ ～ Ⅳ pressure ulcers by the questionnaire.Results The mean score of the caring behavior was (39.98 ± 6.33 ).Among the caregivers,only 17.8％ of caregivers never raised the patient's bed above 30 degree,17.1％ of caregivers placed the patients at a 30 degree lateral position,25.3％ of caregivers never used doughnut pressure relieving devices.Dimension score of position care was the lowest ( 18.55 ± 3.84),followed by wound care (7.65 ± 1.73 ),nutritional support (3.85 ± 1.51 ),and skin care was the highest (9.88 ±2.21 ).Conclusions The caring behaviors of caregivers of patients with pressure ulcer are far from ideal,especially position care and wound care.The targeted intervention programs on position care and wound care can effectively improve the caring behaviors of family caregivers of patients with pressure ulcer.
