Pressure Injury

Pressure sores or pressure injury is a serious complication of a spinal cord injury (SCI), representing a challenging problem for patients, their caregivers, and their physicians. Persons with SCI are vulnerable to pressure sores throughout their life. Pressure sores can potentially interfere with the physical, psychosocial, and overall quality of life. Outcomes directly depend on education and prevention along with conservative and surgical management. Therefore, it is very important to understand everything about pressure sores following SCI. This review covers epidemiology, cost, pathophysiology, risk factors, staging, evaluation tools, prevention, education, conservative wound care methods, surgical treatment, and future trends in wound healing related to post-SCI pressure sores. A change in nomenclature was adopted by the National Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel in 2016, replacing “pressure ulcer”with “pressure injury.” New concepts of pressure injury staging, such as suspected deep tissue injuries and unstageable pressure injuries, were also introduced. A systematic evidence-based review of the prevention of and therapeutic interventions for pressure sores was also discussed.

Abstract Study design: A quantitative cross-sectional survey study. Objective To determine the knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) among caregivers regarding prevention and care of pressure ulcer in patients with spinal cord injury and relationship between KAP. Setting: Centre for Rehabilitation of Paralysed, Dhaka, Bangladesh. Methods A descriptive correlational design with modified semi-structured questionnaire implemented through convenient sampling procedure. McDonald’s standard of learning outcome measured criteria was used to categorize caregivers’ level of knowledge and practice while, the total scores of attitude were categorized into three levels based on mean percentage and standard deviation: negative attitude below (mean ± 1 SD), neutral level (mean ± 1 SD), and positive attitude above (mean ± 1 SD). The pearson product-moment correlation coefficient (r) was used to examine the relationships between caregivers’ KAP and p- value of 0.05 or less was considered as statistically significant. Results Our results suggest that caregivers had a moderate level of knowledge (M = 73.68%, SD = 6.43), neutral level of attitude (M = 70.32%, SD = 6.89), and moderate level of practice (M = 74.77%, SD = 9.08). There was a positive correlation between caregivers’ knowledge and attitude (r = 0.30, p < 0.01), and between knowledge and practice (r = 0.37, p < 0.01). However, no correlation existed between attitude and practice (r = 0.12, p > 0.05). Conclusion The study findings suggests that caregivers need to develop a positive attitude and increase their knowledge in order to improve their practice.
