Open-access Management tools in nursing care for children with pressure injury

Herramientas de gestión em atención de enfermería para niños con lesión de presión

ABSTRACT

Objectives:  to develop and validate management tools for the systematization of nursing care for children with pressure injuries.

Methods:  methodological study in which the focus group technique was used for validation of tools in three different groups of 17 nurses. Conducted in April and May 2018 at a large pediatric hospital.

Results:  two management tools were developed. The first was the Nursing care systematization instrument for children with pressure injury with three parts: a) risk factors; b) Psychobiological Basic Human Needs; c) signs of wound infection. The second was the Flowchart of pressure injury risk and prevention in pediatric patients with three categories: a) risk factors; b) Braden Q scale; c) nursing care.

Final Considerations:  the tools will support nurses in the care of children with pressure injuries by aiming at an individualized and systematized assessment based on a theoretical framework.
