Journal article | Zeitschriftenartikel

Objective: to analyze the risk score of Pressure ulcer for bedridden patients at home and the preventive measures undertaken by nurses from Family Health Strategy in the city of Teresina, PI. Method: descriptive cross-sectional research. Data were collected in November and December 2014 through interviews with 6 nurses and 32 bedridden at home of the six surveyed teams. Results: most patients were elderly female and had one or more risk factors. The moderate risk of developing this disease had the greatest frequency (50%). The nurses knew the main measures to avoid them, however, they used only and / or mainly the low-risk ones. Conclusion: the measures carried out or taught were insufficient to meet the needs of these patients because most were classified as moderate and high risk on the Braden scale, and the Ministry of Health recommends the combination of other measures.
