Sammanfattning
Introduction: University Centre of Woundhealing, Odense University hospital (OUH) has conducted a prevalence study of pressure ulcers. The purpose of this article is to present the results of the study. Material and methods: All patients above the age of 15 years who were in hospital in week 5-6 2008 were included in the study. Six wound nurses and two doctors from the University Centre of Woundhealing undertook the examination. The following were recorded: length of stay, gender, age, number and grade of pressure ulcer(s). The pressure ulcer relief of the patients and documentation in the hospital journals were also recorded. Results: A total of 591 inpatients were included. In all, 164 patients were excluded and 427 patients from the project group were examined. 192 patients were found with pressure ulcers of grade 0-IV, corresponding to a prevalence of 32.5%. If grade 0 pressure ulcers were not included, the prevalence was 17.3%. Conclusion: The study showed a high prevalence. There was an overall insufficient pressure ulcer relief of patients and missing documentation in hospital journals.
