Abstract
Introduction:Pressure ulcer (PU) has ceased to be an invisible and underrated health problem, now they represent a complication of the first order, whose magnitude, both for patients, as for health services and society in general, is considered as a public health problem, so it requires all the means and resources necessary to combat them. The objective is to evaluate the relationship between the impact of the physiotherapeutic preventive protocol and the risk of PU in hospitalized patients. Answering the question What is the impact of the physiotherapeutic preventive protocol in reducing the frequency of pressure ulcers in hospitalized patients? Hypothesis. There is a relationship between the implementation of the physiotherapeutic preventive protocol and the risk of PU in hospitalized patients. Materials and methods: Quasi-experimental design, the Braden scale was used, design and application of a physiotherapeutic preventive protocol, 170 hospitalized patients participated from September 1, 2018 to June 30, 2019. Results: Inpatients do not present significant statistical differences. After the intervention, it was found that in group 2 without caregivers they developed pressure ulcers in category 1 and 2. Not so, in the caregiver group where the highest frequency was without ulcer development. Discussion: The indications in the IMSS Nursing Clinical Practice Guide are proved, the research hypothesis is accepted, it is confirmed the usefulness of a physiotherapeutic intervention in the management of patients at risk of presenting pressure ulcers, avoiding complications.
