Abstract

Abstract:

Objective: To evaluate the experiences of caregivers (patients' companions and nurses) in managing pressure injuries (PIs) in patients in palliative care.

Methods: Included in this qualitative phenomenologic study were 10 caregivers (five patient companions and five nurses) involved in the care of five patients hospitalized in the palliative care unit of a single facility between January and March 2023. The research data were collected through face-to-face, in-depth interviews using semistructured interviews.

Results: Two main themes emerged from the interviews: "approach to care" and "factors affecting the care of PIs." Regarding "approach to care," subsidiary analytic themes included "management of PIs" and "feelings." For "factors affecting the care of PIs," analytic themes were "level of knowledge," "facilitators," "difficulty in caregiving," and "experience of care."

Conclusions: The interviewed nurses and patients' companions identified factors facilitating and complicating the effective management of PIs, knowledge of which may steer the development of strategies by healthcare providers and administrators that meet the needs of healthcare personnel. These findings may contribute to creating interventions and policies for managing PIs, potentially increasing the patients' quality of life.

护理人员对姑息治疗病人压伤管理经验的评价：现象学研究。

摘要：目的：评价姑息治疗中护理人员（患者同伴和护士）处理压力性损伤（PIs）的经验。方法：在本定性现象学研究中纳入了10名护理人员（5名患者同伴和5名护士），这些护理人员于2023年1月至3月期间在同一医院的姑息治疗病房住院治疗5名患者。研究数据是通过面对面的深度访谈收集的，采用半结构化访谈。结果：访谈中出现了两个主要主题：“护理方法”和“影响pi护理的因素”。关于“护理方法”，附属分析主题包括“pi管理”和“感觉”。对于“影响pi护理的因素”，分析主题是“知识水平”、“促进因素”、“护理困难”和“护理经验”。结论：受访护士和患者同伴确定了促进和复杂化有效管理pi的因素，了解这些因素可以指导卫生保健提供者和管理人员制定符合卫生保健人员需求的策略。这些发现可能有助于制定管理pi的干预措施和政策，潜在地提高患者的生活质量。
