Monitoring of Pressure Ulcer Care in the Internal Department.
KURAŇOVÁ, Natálie
The topic of the present bachelor thesis is the monitoring of pressure ulcer care in an internal ward. Pressure ulcers are a significant problem area on many wards and therefore an aspect of patient care that should be given sufficient attention. The first aim of the present study is to map the knowledge of non-medical healthcare professionals in the prevention of pressure ulcers in selected internal wards. The second objective is to map the knowledge of non-medical health workers in the area of pressure ulcer prevention in selected internal wards. The third objective is to map the knowledge of non-medical health care workers in the management of pressure ulcers in selected internal wards. To achieve the objectives, quantitative research in the form of interviewing through a non-standardized anonymous questionnaire was used. The research survey was conducted in three internal wards and three aftercare wards in a South Bohemian hospital in March 2022. A total of 35 closed-ended questions were asked to the respondents. For the research population, 110 questionnaires were distributed with a return rate of 74,5 % (n = 82). Thus, the research population consisted of a total of 82 (100,0 %) male and female non-medical health care workers from the internal wards (n = 41) and the aftercare wards (n = 41). The results showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the knowledge of pressure ulcer prevention between nurses from internal wards and those from aftercare wards. Also, the data confirmed that there was no significant difference in knowledge regarding pressure ulcer prevention between nurses from internal wards and those from aftercare wards. Similarly, there was no statistically significant difference in knowledge regarding pressure ulcer care between nurses from internal wards and those from aftercare wards. No one scored less than half of the possible points in pressure ulcer care. This indicates to some extent that knowledge in the areas studied is at a relatively good level in all wards.
