Purpose: To identify the prevalence of pressure sore among the spinal cord injury
patients at CRP. Objectives: The objectives of the study were to find out the information
about the socio-demography and developing pressure sore, calculate the number of
patients with pressure sore in per hundred SCI patients, determine the common factors
that influence pressure sore, To inspect the degree of pressure sore which mostly occur at
CRP, and evaluate the frequency of pressure sore among the complete, incomplete
paraplegia and tetraplegic SCI patients. Methodology: A cross sectional research design
was carried out in this study, purposive sampling technique was used to collect the data
from 50 participants among the SCI patients at CRP. A questionnaire was used to collect
data and data was collected by face to face interview. Data were numerically coded and
captured by using an SPSS 17.0 version software program and descriptive spastics was
used for data analysis which focus to table, pie chart and bar chart. Results: The findings
of the study provided a baseline of information prevalence of pressure sore among the
spinal cord injury patients at CRP. The finding of the study was that 28% SCI patients
were suffered from pressure sore at CRP. Most of the patients have poor socioeconomic status
and low literacy rate. Majority has no knowledge of proper transferring technique which is
important for prevent pressure sore and they are not aware about taking a lift timely and avoiding
friction to prevent pressure sore. Conclusion: The prevalence of pressure sore among the
spinal cord injury patients at CRP was 28%. This result provide background information
that may be useful in giving more attention to design the best-practice protocols for prevention and treatment of pressure sore, thereby reducing their prevalence. |
