Abstract

Aim: This study aimed to determine the quality of life of patients with pressure injuries and the factors associated with them. Materials and methods: This descriptive and correlative study was conducted between January 2022 and July 2023 at one private and two state hospitals in T & uuml;rkiye. Data were collected using a demographic and clinical history form, the Pressure Ulcer Quality of Life Scale- Turkish. Results: In this study, the mean quality of life score of the patients with pressure injuries was 65.28 +/- 12.71, and according to the Pressure Ulcer Quality of Life Scale- Turkish score of the patients, the areas with the worst quality of life were mobility and movement, activity, pain, sleep, odor, and exudate, respectively. The most important variables that negatively affected the quality of life were determined to be the number of pressure injuries, prolonged healing time, and diagnosis of diabetes. In contrast, the variable that positively affected the quality of life was determined as having had any previous surgical experience. Conclusion: It is recommended that the results obtained from this study should be utilized in determining national and institutional strategies to improve the quality of life of patients with pressure injuries and that interventional studies should be planned to improve the quality of life of patients with pressure injuries.
