Aim:
To explore the experience and perception of pressure ulcers in a group of nurses caring for older patients.
Design:
A qualitative study based on interviews with (N = 6) nurses working with older patients.
Method:
A qualitative approach was applied using thematic analysis influenced by Braun and Clarke.
Results:
The findings comprised one main theme "Prevention of pressure ulcers is important" and four sub-themes "Nursing resources on the ward," "Basic nursing skills-lift the duvet," "Introduction of new nurses on the ward-bedside teaching" and "Missing articulation of pressure ulcers." Bedside teaching and experienced nurses may create a culture on the ward where basic nursing skills and observations are articulated.
