Summary
This study reviews Lydia Hall's nursing theory to guide community nurses in preventing and managing pressure injuries. Applying the core, care, and cure concepts can improve patient outcomes and comprehensive wound care.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Theory
- Community Health
- Wound Care
Background:
- Pressure ulcers/injuries are a significant community health issue demanding comprehensive nursing care.
- Limited research exists on applying nursing theory to pressure ulcer management.
- Nurses play a crucial role in preventing and managing pressure injuries.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the application of Lydia Hall's 1964 nursing theory to pressure injury management.
- To provide community nurses with a theoretical framework for pressure injury prevention and care.
- To bridge the gap between nursing theory and clinical practice in pressure ulcer management.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive review of Lydia Hall's 1964 nursing theory.
- Analysis of the theory's three dimensions: core, care, and cure.
- Linking theoretical concepts to practical aspects of pressure injury management.
Main Results:
- Lydia Hall's theory provides a relevant framework for understanding the multifaceted nature of pressure injury care.
- The core, care, and cure dimensions offer distinct but interconnected approaches to patient management.
- The theory can enhance nurses' ability to provide holistic and effective pressure injury interventions.
Conclusions:
- Lydia Hall's nursing theory is applicable and beneficial for community nurses managing pressure injuries.
- Integrating the core, care, and cure concepts can optimize pressure injury prevention and treatment strategies.
- Further application of nursing theory in clinical practice is encouraged to improve patient outcomes in community settings.

691
Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is characterized by mucosal excavation in the esophagus, stomach, pylorus, or duodenum. It can manifest as acute or chronic based on the extent and duration of mucosal involvement.
An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.
Peptic ulcers can also be...
