TI  - Determination of Incidence and Risk Factors of Perioperative
Pressure Injury in Surgical Patients:
A Descriptive, Prospective, and Comparative Study
AB  - Objective: This study aimed to determine the incidence
and risk factors of perioperative pressure injury (PI) in surgical patients.
Material and Methods: This descriptive, prospective, and comparative
study was conducted with 101 patients who underwent general surgery
in a training and research hospital in İstanbul between September 2018
and June 2019. Data were collected using the “Patient Data Form,” the
“Braden Scale,” and the “International Pressure Injury Classification
System.” Data were analyzed with parametric and nonparametric tests
using the SPSS package program. The statistical significance level was
taken as p<0.05. The necessary institutional and ethics committee permission was obtained to conduct the study. Results: In this study, it was
observed that the incidence of perioperative PI was 12.9% (13/101) in
surgical patients, and most developed after pancreaticoduodenectomy
(38.5%). Preoperative hemoglobin and serum albumin levels, surgical
time longer than 185 minutes, and intraoperative hypotensive episodes
were found to be determinant risk factors in the development of PI
(p<0.01). Conclusion: Surgical nurses should carefully evaluate individual and surgery-related risk factors and implement evidence-based
interventions in the prevention of pressure injuries.
