Abstract(s)
Ser portador de uma ferida crónica, como a úlcera venosa, acarreta alterações no quotidiano, transformando de forma determinante a vida do indivíduo. O desafio dos cuidados de saúde consiste em fornecer a estes indivíduos cuidados globais e integrados, onde a qualidade de vida seja o principal outcome. Os objetivos deste estudo são: avaliar a qualidade de vida da pessoa com úlcera venosa e analisar a influência das características da ferida e do tipo de tratamento na qualidade de vida. Foi constituída uma amostra não probabilística acidental de 31 pessoas com úlcera venosa a serem cuidadas nos centros de saúde de uma Unidade Local de Saúde. Para a colheita de dados utilizou-se o Esquema Cardiff de Impacto da Ferida e um formulário para registo das características da ferida. Verificou-se uma redução da qualidade de vida no domínio do bem-estar. A qualidade de vida é afetada pela quantidade de exsudado e pela dor, sendo que a dor aumenta em função do aumento da área da úlcera. A úlcera venosa altera a qualidade de vida das pessoas, afetando todas as dimensões do Esquema de Cardiff e Impacto da Ferida. As características da ferida, nomeadamente a quantidade de exsudado, a dor e a área afetam negativamente a qualidade de vida destas pessoas.
Having a chronic wound such as venous ulcer, results in changes in everyday life, turning a decisive role in the individual’s life. The challenge of health care is to provide to these individuals a global and integrated care, where quality of life is the primary outcome. The objectives of this study are: assess the quality of life of people with venous ulcers and analyze the influence of wound characteristics. A non-probabilistic accidental sample of 31 people with venous ulcer being cared in the health centers of a Unidade Local de Saúde. For data collection, it was used the Cardiff Wound Impact Scheme and a form to register the characteristics of the wound. There was a reduction in the quality of life in the domain of wellness. The quality of life is affected by the amount of exudate and pain, and pain increases with the increase in ulcer area. Venous ulcers change the quality of life, affecting all aspects of the Cardiff Wound Impact Scheme. The characteristics of the wound, namely the amount of exudate, pain and area adversely affect the quality of life.
