Abstract

Purpose: Pressure ulcers (PUs) are serious health outcomes for nursing home (NH) residents and are considered important nursing sensitive quality indicators, as professional nursing care can prevent PUs. The purpose of the current study was to investigate related factors of PUs for NH residents.

Method: A cross-sectional design was used. From August 27, 2021, to March 25, 2022, data were collected from 51 NHs in Korea. Facility, nurse staffing, and resident characteristics were selected as independent variables. The response variable was the number of residents with PUs in the 3 months following admission in each NH.

Results: We used sparse logistic regression to analyze the data. Mean number of residents with PUs per NH was 1.12 (SD = 2.13). When RNs' hours per resident day increased by 1 hour, the number of residents with PUs decreased 0.011 times (p = 0.046). When the ratio of grade 1 residents in each NH increased 1%, the odds of residents with PUs increased 13% (p = 0.036).

Conclusion: Providing high-quality, nursing sensitive care is an essential factor to decrease PUs for NH residents. Providing sufficient RN care is urgently necessary to develop solutions to preventable health conditions for these individuals. [Research in Gerontological Nursing, 17(6), 281-290.].

韩国疗养院居民褥疮患病率的相关因素。

目的：压疮（PU）是养老院（NH）居民的严重健康后果，被认为是重要的护理敏感质量指标，因为专业护理可以预防压疮。本研究的目的是调查养老院居民发生压疮的相关因素：方法：采用横断面设计。从 2021 年 8 月 27 日至 2022 年 3 月 25 日，从韩国 51 家养老院收集了数据。自变量包括设施、护士配置和住院患者特征。响应变量为每家养老院中入院后 3 个月内患 PU 的住院患者人数：我们使用稀疏逻辑回归分析了数据。每家护理院患 PU 的住院患者平均人数为 1.12（SD = 2.13）。当护士每天为住院患者服务的时间增加 1 小时时，患有 PU 的住院患者人数就会减少 0.011 倍（p = 0.046）。当每个 NH 中 1 级住院患者的比例增加 1%时，住院患者出现 PU 的几率增加 13% (p = 0.036)：结论：提供高质量、护理敏感的护理是减少 NH 居民 PU 的重要因素。提供足够的护士护理是为这些人制定可预防的健康状况解决方案的当务之急。[老年护理研究》，17（6），281-290]。

期刊介绍： Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
