Area of Science:

  • Healthcare research
  • Patient safety
  • Clinical nursing

Background:

  • Transported patients represent a vulnerable population susceptible to pressure injuries (PIs).
  • Understanding the prevalence and risk factors for PIs in this group is crucial for effective management.
  • This study addresses the need for focused attention on PIs in transported patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the prevalence and related factors of pressure injuries (PIs) in transported patients.
  • To raise awareness among healthcare providers regarding PIs in this specific patient demographic.
  • To inform strategies for improving patient care during transport.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Comprehensive literature searches were performed across multiple databases (CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, CBM, PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, Cochrane Library) up to December 2023.
  • Data were synthesized using meta-analysis, with descriptive analysis for exploring risk factors.

Main Results:

  • Eight studies involving 3512 participants were included.
  • The prevalence of PIs ranged from 5.2% to 7.92%, with an incidence rate of 9.4%.
  • Commonly affected sites were the sacrum, buttocks, and heels; PIs were mostly Stage 1 and 2. Risk factors identified include transfer duration/frequency, equipment, age, BMI, and patient source.

Conclusions:

  • Transported patients are at significant risk for developing pressure injuries.
  • Healthcare providers and managers must enhance focus on PI management for this population.
  • Further high-quality research is recommended to validate findings and guide precise interventions.
