Abstract:
Objective To investigate how surgical patients are assessed regarding pressure ulcer risks and the usage of evaluation tools in different stages during perioperative period.Methods Totally 210 nurses from operating rooms and surgical wards in 7 tertiary hospitals of Jiangsu Province were investigated with self-designed questionnaire.Results Operating room nurses of 7 hospitals used different kinds of scales for pressure ulcer risk assessment,the same scale document was used during the different stages of operation,the frequency and time for pressure ulcer risk assessment varied from one to three times,preoperative visit to handover in surgical ward were different;the Braden scale was used by surgical nurses to evaluate pressure ulcer risk after operation,while most surgical nurses believed that the existing scale lacked specificity and intraoperative risk factors that should be considered when assessing postoperative patients.Conclusion The frequency and time of pressure ulcer risk assessment of patients during perioperative period are not standardized,the content of scale is limited and lacks specificity,the assessment of pressure ulcer risk during perioperative period is discontinuous and non-dynamic.There are no specific risk assessment scales targeting preoperative,intraoperative and postoperative pressure ulcer risk assessment.
