Abstract:Teoretična izhodišča: Rane predstavljajo prekinitev celovitosti kože ali globljih tkiv, pri čemer jih glede na etiologijo, trajanje in proces celjenja delimo na akutne in kronične. Akutne rane se praviloma celijo spontano v časovnem obdobju, medtem ko kronične vztrajajo dalj časa, pogosto zaradi zapletenih lokalnih in sistemskih dejavnikov, ter zahtevajo specifične oblike obravnave. Preventiva kroničnih ran vključuje ustrezno zdravstveno nego in ukrepe za preprečevanje zapletov, zdravljenje pa temelji na lokalnih metodah, sodobnih oblogah in celostnem timskem pristopu. Zdravstvena nega starostnikov s kroničnimi ranami zahteva prilagojene postopke, saj kronične rane pomembno vplivajo na kakovost njihovega življenja. Namen raziskave je bil analizirati zdravstveno nego starostnikov s kroničnimi ranami ter osvetliti vlogo medicinskih sester pri preprečevanju in zdravljenju tovrstnih stanj. Metoda: Raziskava je temeljila na kvalitativnem raziskovalnem pristopu z uporabo deskriptivne metode. Empirični del je bil izveden z metodo polstrukturiranega intervjuja. V raziskavi je sodelovalo šest intervjuvancev, primarni in sekundarni podatki pa so bili zbrani, analizirani in sintetizirani. Rezultati: Vzorec je obsegal štiri medicinske sestre srednje izobrazbe ter dve z višjo oziroma visokošolsko izobrazbo s področja zdravstvene nege. Intervjuvanci so kot najpogostejše kronične rane navedli razjede zaradi pritiska in diabetično stopalo, katerih etiologija je najpogosteje povezana z nepokretnostjo in sladkorno boleznijo pri starostnikih. Vsi sogovorniki so izpostavili pomen sterilne tehnike in ustrezne uporabe sodobnih oblog kot ključnih dejavnikov za uspešno celjenje. Razprava: Ugotovitve kažejo, da se medicinske sestre v klinični praksi najpogosteje srečujejo z razjedami zaradi pritiska in diabetičnim stopalom. Vloga medicinske sestre je pri preprečevanju in zdravljenju kroničnih ran odločilna, saj prav ona najprej prepozna dejavnike tveganja in začne z izvajanjem preventivnih ukrepov. Kronične rane dokazano znižujejo kakovost življenja starostnikov zaradi bolečine, izcedka in neprijetnega vonja, kar povzroča telesno, psihično in socialno obremenitev. Znanje medicinskih sester o uporabi sodobnih oblog se je izkazalo za visoko, kar potrjuje njihovo ključno vlogo v procesu celjenja.

Title:Nursing care of an elderly patient with chronic wounds
Abstract:Theoretical background: Wounds are defined as a disruption of skin or deeper tissue integrity and are classified as acute od chronic depending on etiology, duration, and healing process. Acute wounds typically heal within a short period, while chronic wounds persist due to complex local and systemic factors and therefore require specific management strategies. Prevention of chronic wounds insolves appropriate nursing interventions and measures to reduce complications, whereas treatment is based on local therapies, modern dressings, and an interdisciplinary team approach. Nursing care for elderly patients with chronic wounds requires adapted procedures that consider their specific needs and the significant impact of wounds on quality of life. The aim of this study was to analyze nursing care for elderly patients with chronic wounds and highlight the role of nurses in prevention and treatment. Methodology: The study followed a qualitative research design using a descriptive method. The empirical part was carried out through semi-structured interviews. A total of six participants were included, and both primary and secondary sources were collected, analyzed and synthesized. Results: The sample consisted of four nurses with secondary education and two participants with higher-level nursing qualifications. The most common chronic wounds identified were pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers, mainly associated with immobility and diabetes in elderly patients. All participants emphasized the importance of sterile techniques and the correct use of modern dressings as essential factors in successful wound healing. Discussion: Findings indicate that nurses most frequently encounter pressure ulcers and diabetic foot ulcers in clinical practice. The role of nurses is crucial in prevention and treatment, as they are often the first to identify risk factors and implement preventive measures. Chronic wounds significantly reduce the quality of life of elderly patients due to pain, exudate, and unpleasant odor, which cause physical, psychological and social distress. The participants demonstrated strong knowledge of modern dressings, confirming the pivotal role of nurses in the healing process.
