Summary

Pressure ulcers are wounds that typically occur on bony prominences, primarily due to external factors such as pressure, friction, and shear, as well as internal factors related to the patient. These ulcers can lead to serious health issues and have a high incidence rate, negatively impacting patients' quality of life, increasing hospitalization duration, and adding to healthcare costs. Prevention of pressure ulcers is considered an important indicator of care quality worldwide and in our country. International guidelines emphasize key points for preventing pressure ulcers, including risk assessment, skin assessment and care, nutrition, repositioning, support surface use, documentation, and education.
