Community nurses could identify such factors and promote intervention strategies, mitigating the risk of sarcopenia.Aims: To investigate the health indicators and lifestyle factors that have an impact on increased sarcopenia risk among older adults in the community.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with data collected using a structured questionnaire. The SARC-F questionnaire was used for the risk assessment of sarcopenia. The Barthel index, Fatigue Severity Scale, Visual Analogue Scale and Athens Insomnia Scale were used to assess functionality, fatigue and sleep. The duration of sleep was self-reported. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression were used for the data analysis.Findings: A total of 100 subjects (median age=72.50 years) were included in this pilot study. Among the participants, 19% were identified as being at risk for sarcopenia. Functionality, fatigue and sleep difficulties predicted the risk for sarcopenia.Conclusions: Community nurses could identify older adults at risk of sarcopenia by recognising the associated factors in everyday life.Implications for practice: Nurses in community settings could contribute to the prevention, early detection, slow progression or even potential reversal of sarcopenia by identifying, evaluating and addressing related factors to sarcopenia in the daily lives of community-dwelling older adults. Conducting routine screenings for muscle strength and function, promoting targeted exercise programmes and providing nutritional guidance to support muscle health can make a significant difference. Nurses and other healthcare professionals can collaborate to develop personalised intervention plans to provide comprehensive care to older adults for mobility and independence.","PeriodicalId":35731,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Community Nursing","volume":"30 3","pages":"136-144"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143516940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their incidence is mainly recorded in patients receiving oncological palliative care, with no reported incidence in cardiology patients. There are no records in the scientific literature of ultrasound evaluations of KTUs.Aims: To present a case report of an ultrasound evaluation of a KTU in a patient from a cardiology intensive care unit.Method: The case study was conducted in March 2024 at a cardiology intensive care unit in Southeast Brazil.Results: The ultrasound revealed mild oedema in the subcutaneous tissue of the perilesional skin and a cobblestone-like appearance with less lobulation because of slight oedema in the lesion bed. Both areas exhibited absence of flow on Doppler ultrasound.Conclusions: To the authors' knowledge, this the first record of an ultrasound evaluation of a KTU. A larger case series of reports similar to this study may contribute to the understanding of KTUs and aid differential assessments regarding pressure injuries.Implications for practice: Studies like this can contribute to the understanding of the development process of KTUs and how they correlate with the dying process.","PeriodicalId":35731,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Community Nursing","volume":"30 Sup3","pages":"S22-S26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143651187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Variance in care of such wounds has frequently been documented in the literature. This study investigated the local landscapes for such variance.Aim: This article discusses the findings of a cross-sectional study of variance in care of chronic wounds, undertaken with one district nursing team's caseload in a large city in the North East of the UK.Methods: The workload of one district nursing team (n=6 staff) was examined over a 2-week period using electronic records. Where variance was identified, patients were visited at their home by a tissue viability nurse for further investigation.Results: Thirty-four patients with chronic wounds were reviewed. While pressure ulcers and slow-healing postoperative wounds were treated according to standard guidance, there was significant variation in the care of leg ulceration in all patients.Conclusions: This study supports the view that there is variance in wound care, and reducing this variance and optimising wound care should be prioritised. This could be achieved by increasing input from tissue viability services.Implications for practice: Implementing standardised protocols based on best practice guidelines could improve consistency and outcomes in wound care. The increased involvement of tissue viability nurses in wound assessments and care planning could help reduce variance in care.","PeriodicalId":35731,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Community Nursing","volume":"30 Sup3","pages":"S16-S21"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143651175","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
