#WeNurses - Thursday 23rd June 2022 7:30pm (GMT Standard Time)
Revisiting pressure !
If you haven't joined in a tweet chat before it's very simple. Here's a guide Tweet
Chat Details
Hosted by WeNurses using #WeNurses
Over the 10 years that #WeNurses has been holding tweetchats we have discussed pressure injury many times, however it's a topic that remains key in nursing ... so with that in mind we feel that it's time to revisit pressure injury ... here are some key facts and figures (PHE 2015) :
- on average 2,000 pressure ulcers are newly acquired each month within the NHS in England
- older people are the most likely group to have pressure ulcers
- pressure ulcers in older patients are associated with a fivefold increase in mortality
- the cost of treating a pressure ulcer varies from £1,214 to £14,108
Risk assessment is a huge part of pressure injury prevention, NICE (2014) recommends 'for prevention include methods for identification and risk assessment and the preventive measures that should be applied' As nurses we are all familiar with long standing risk assessment tools such as Waterlow or Braden ... however there is now a 'new kid on the block' PURPOSE-T. The University of Leeds states 'PURPOSE-T (Pressure Ulcer Risk Primary or Secondary Evaluation Tool) is an evidence-based pressure ulcer risk assessment instrument that was developed using robust research methods (1-7). PURPOSE-T identifies adults at risk of developing a pressure ulcer and supports nurse decision-making to reduce that risk (primary prevention), but also identifies those with existing and previous pressure ulcers requiring secondary prevention and treatment'
This tweetchat aims to explore pressure injuries and assessment of pressure injury risk and will take the following format:
From 8:15pm Pre tweetchat 2 x poll questions
8:30 - 9pm Tweetchat 3 questions
From 9pm Post tweetchat 2 x poll questions
Here are the questions we will be exploring:
- Question 1 (poll) - Which pressure injury risk assessment tool do you use? Waterlow / Braden / PURPOSE-T / Other (please state)
- Question 2 (poll) - What pressure injury prevention measure do you think is the most important? Repositioning / Support surfaces / Nutrition & hydration / Other (please state)
- Question 3 (tweetchat) - What does good pressure injury prevention look like?
- Question 4 (tweetchat) - What is the impact of pressure ulcers, to patients, family, and the NHS / care as a whole?
- Question 5 (tweetchat) - What are the key messages for nurses around pressure injury prevention?
- Question 6 (poll) - We have lots of awareness/ education and equipment so what is the main reason people still develop pressure ulcers? Unavoidable / Low staffing levels / Lack of awareness / Other (please state)
- Question 7 (poll) - What is the best way to engage the people we care for around pressure injury prevention? Talk to them / Share resources / Encourage them to keep moving / Other (please state)

During the pandemic, there were significant increases in hospital-acquired pressure ulcers and other adverse events. https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMp2118285 The work of CNAs impacts HAPI via repositioning, bathing, skincare, assessments, & more. #WeNurses |

@WeNurses The aSSKINg acronym is easy to remember so I reiterate this all the time. Taking time to explain to patients and their carers is so important ... Documentation is key - supports decision making, enabling others to understand your rationale for care plans #wenurses |

@WeNurses Pressure ulcer prevention is everyone's responsibility. The individual, team, directorate & organisation. It's a fundamental aspect of care. Connect the dots from nutrition, continence, positioning, cognitive ability, poly-pharmacy, environment, temp, clothing to skin #WeNurses |

@WeNurses All the above. I dont feel there is one main reason many are unavoidable but many more preventable Lack of staff defo as repositioning is not happing in a timely manor in many places lack of awareness not so sure patient compliance think also contributes #wenurses |

@WeNurses #WeNurses start a meeting/training with everyone sitting and ask them to consciously count every time they wiggle their bum back in the seat, cross their legs etc… or ask them to sit exactly where they are and not move if they are up for that. Then ask how it felt |
