Description
Summary:This study aimed to determine the risk and development of pressure ulcers in operating rooms. The sample of the study included a total of 250 patients. In the study, the risk of pressure ulcers was assessed before the operation, and the development of pressure ulcers was evaluated within 24 h after the operation. The risk of pressure ulcers was low before the operation, and Stage I pressure ulcer developed in 12.8% of the patients within 24 h after the operation. The patients had pressure ulcers mostly in their sacrum. Their mean 3S Intraoperative Risk Assessment Scale of Pressure Sore score was 15.68 ± 4.84, suggesting that they were not at risk of developing pressure ulcers. Having a chronic disease (OR = 8.986; 95% CI = 3.697–21.845), undergoing general anesthesia (OR = 3.084; 95% CI = 1.323–7.194), and orthopedic surgery (OR = 10.172; 95% CI = 3.121–33.155) were statistically significant risk factors for pressure ulcers (p
