Incidência de lesão por pressão e tempo de assistência de enfermagem em terapia intensiva / Incidence of pressure injury and nursing care time in intensive care
Epidemiological, observational, retrospective study, carried out in the ICU of a universityhospital. Data were collected by consulting the PI incidence and the average nursing caretime from ICU databases between 2010 and 2014. Measures of central tendency and variability, and Pearson's correlation coefficient were used for data analysis.
Results:
The average incidence of PI between 2010 and 2014 was 10.83% (SD = 2.87) and the average time spent in nursing care for patients admitted to the ICU was 15 hours (SD = 0.94). There was no statistically significant correlation between the incidence of PI and the nursing caretime (r = -0.17; p = 0.199), however, the results suggested an overload on the nursing team.
