dc.description.abstractBackground: Recent trends indicate a rise in the number of elderly and bedridden patients enrolled in home care programs, leading to an increased occurrence of complications such as pressure ulcers within the home health care setting. Objective: The primary objective of this research was to ascertain the prevalence of pressure ulcers and identify the associated factors in adults who were recipients of home health care services. Method: This study, adopting a cross-sectional design, encompassed a sample of 566 patients who sought services from the Home Health Care Unit in a specific province in Turkey. The timeframe for data collection spanned from August to November 2022, during which two primary instruments were employed: the “Demographic Characteristics Form” and two specific scales - the “Braden Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale” and the “ITAKI Falls Risk Scale." Findings: In this study, the average age of patients receiving home health care services was identified as 75.9 years, with a standard deviation of 15.1 years. Furthermore, 73.7 % of these patients were classified as being at risk for developing pressure ulcers. The study identified a direct correlation between the risk of BRADEN pressure ulcers and the escalation in scores across several parameters. These parameters included “Addiction Status,” delineated as a spectrum from addicted to non-addicted, the “Number of Medical Diagnoses,” quantified on a scale, the “State of Consciousness,” categorized from clear to confused, and the scores derived from the “ITAKI” scale. Conclusion: The findings of this study highlight the significance of pressure ulcers as a critical health issue among patients receiving home care services. It underscores the necessity for home care nurses to be acutely aware of the risk factors associated with pressure ulcers among high-risk patients.
