Introdução: As feridas, crónicas e agudas, são um problema de saúde com
impacto tal na sociedade que a Organização Mundial da Saúde as descreve como a nova
epidemia escondida, a qual afecta milhões de pessoas em todo o mundo (OMS, 2008).
Actualmente, a área do tratamento de feridas, como as feridas em si, têm um
importante e “pesado” impacto a nível quer individual quer comunitário, contribuindo
para um agravado aumento de morbilidade e, consequentemente, aumento de custos na
prestação de cuidados. Estima-se que a nível mundial, existam no mínimo, 300 milhões
de feridas agudas; 100 milhões de feridas traumáticas e 20 milhões de feridas crónicas.
Objectivos: Como objectivos gerais deste estudo, pretende-se estimar a prevalência de
feridas nos utentes das Unidades de Saúde de uma Unidade Local de Saúde (ULS) e
caracterizar os portadores com ferida nas mesmas Unidades de Saúde.
Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo de prevalência, que quanto ao método de
tratamento de dados e quanto aos momentos de colheita de dados é transversal,
inserindo-se no paradigma quantitativo, observacional e transversal. A amostra, foi
obtida por amostragem do tipo não probabilística acidental, nos Cuidados de Saúde
Primários e nos Cuidados de Saúde Diferenciados do distrito da Unidade Local de
Saúde (ULS), durante a 2ª semana de Março de 2014.
Resultados: Nos Cuidados de Saúde Diferenciados, dos 364 indivíduos que estavam
internados, 151 apresentavam feridas e, nos cuidados de Cuidados de Saúde Primários,
439 apresentavam feridas, o que dá um total de 590 feridas. Obtiveram-se assim, uma
taxa de prevalência de 41,5% e 3,63% respectivamente e uma taxa de prevalência total
de 4,74%.
Conclusão:
Os resultados obtidos, na generalidade encontram-se dentro dos valores
expectáveis quando comparados com outros estudos semelhantes. A ressalvar que a taxa
de prevalência de feridas em Cuidados Saúde Primários é ligeiramente mais elevada.
Introduction: Wounds, chronic and acute, are a health problem with a tremendous impact in society such that the World Health Organization describes it as the new hidden epidemic that affects millions of people worldwide. (WHO, 2008) Currently, the areas of woundcare, as the wounds themselves, have an important and "heavy" burden on both individual and community settings. With this we obtain a significant increase in morbidity and therefore costs in providing care. It is estimated that, worldwide, there are at least 300 million acute wounds; 100 million traumatic and 20 million chronic wounds. Aims: The general objectives of this study are intended to: estimate the prevalence of wounds in users of the health units integrated on a Local Health Unit and to characterize the users with wounds on the same health units (ULS). Methodology: This is a prevalence study, as the data processing method and the data collection time is cross-sectional, inserting the quantitative, observational and crossparadigm. The sample was obtained by not accidental probabilistic sampling on Primary Health Care and Hospital Healthcare of that district, belonging to the Local Health Unit (ULS) during the 2nd week of March 2014. Results: The Hospital Healthcare of 364 individuals, who were hospitalized, 151 had wounds and in Primary Healthcare 439 had wounds, achieving a total of 590 wounds. It was obtained one prevalence rate of 41.5% and 3.63 % respectively and the overall prevalence rate was 4.74 %. Conclusion: The results generally are within the expected values when compared to other similar studies. Only the prevalence of wounds in Health Primary Care presents is slightly higher.
