Area of Science:

  • Clinical Practice Guidelines
  • Tissue Viability
  • Pressure Ulcer Prevention

Background:

  • Rising costs associated with pressure ulcer prevention and management.
  • Limited guidance for health and social care organizations on seating and pressure ulcer prevention.
  • Need for practical advice on applying evidence-based research for seated individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop practical guidelines for pressure ulcer prevention and management in seated individuals.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for people, carers, and healthcare professionals.
  • To address the growing challenge of pressure ulcers in those with prolonged seating requirements.

Main Methods:

  • Triangulation of methods including literature review, listening events, and stakeholder consultations.
  • Engagement with users, carers, academics, clinicians, and charities.
  • Gathering views, feedback, stories, and evidence on current seating and pressure management practices.

Main Results:

  • Development of inclusive guidelines for all population groups with mobility issues.
  • Inclusion of evidence on pressure ulcer development sites, risk factors, and optimal seating.
  • Recommendations cover seating adjustments, assessment, interventions, and self-help strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Updated guidelines incorporate the best available evidence and expert insights.
  • Guidelines are informed by stakeholders and individuals with prolonged seating needs.
  • The practical guide aims to enhance the prevention and management of pressure ulcers for seated individuals.
