úlcera por presión, prevalência, medición de riesgoResumen
Marco contextual: las úlceras por presión son lesiones complejas y debilitantes. Conllevan costos económicos y sociales tiendo impacto directo en la calidad de vida. Dado el envejecimiento de la población y el aumento de las enfermedades crónicas, se ha observado un aumento de la prevalencia de heridas, en particular de las úlceras por presión. Objetivos: determinar la prevalencia de úlceras por presión en un hospital de las Azores; caracterizar la muestra sociodemográficamente, patologías associadas, evaluación de riesgo y aplicación de medidas preventivas. Metodología: estudio cuantitativo, transversal y correlacionado. Para el procesamiento estadístico de los datos se utilizó el software SPSS (versión 30). Resultados: se evaluaron 115 usuarios hospitalizados. Los resultados indicaron una prevalencia de 12,77%, siendo la mayoría de las úlceras (57,14%) adquiridas en el ambiente de hospital. La valoración de riesgo reveló que 26,96% de los participantes tenían un alto riesgo de desarrollar úlcera por presión. Conclusión: la tasa de prevalencia es similar a la descrita en estudios de la misma naturaleza. Se destaca la relevancia de la prevención, la formación continua y la asignación adecuada de recursos como elementos fundamentales en la gestión de estas lesiones.
