Pressure Care Management | Preventing and Managing Pressure Sores
Introduction
Pressure care management focuses on preventing and managing pressure sores (also known as pressure ulcers or bedsores) to maintain skin integrity and overall health. Pressure sores develop from prolonged pressure on the skin, often affecting individuals with limited mobility or chronic health conditions. Effective pressure care management is essential for maintaining skin health, reducing pain, preventing complications, and promoting overall well-being.
What Causes Pressure Sores?
Pressure sores occur when blood flow to a particular area of the skin is restricted due to sustained pressure, leading to tissue damage. These sores commonly develop on bony areas, such as heels, elbows, and the tailbone where the skin is more vulnerable to pressure. Individuals with limited mobility, impaired sensation, or chronic health conditions are particularly at risk. Managing pressure care requires ongoing assessment, timely interventions, and education to protect skin integrity and promote healing when necessary. Effective pressure management includes using adaptive equipment, regular position changes, and personalised skin care routines to meet each individual’s unique needs.
Identifying the Early Signs of Pressure Sores
Recognising the early signs of pressure sores is crucial for effective intervention. Common indicators include:

Effective pressure management includes using adaptive equipment, regular position changes, and personalised skin care routines to meet each individual’s unique needs.
Identifying the Early Signs of Pressure Sores
Recognising the early signs of pressure sores is crucial for effective intervention. Common indicators include:
- Redness or discoloration of the skin that does not fade when pressure is relieved.
- Skin that feels warm, cool, or different in texture compared to surrounding areas.
- Swelling or hardening of the skin.
- Pain or tenderness in specific areas.
- Development of blisters, open wounds, or sores on the skin.
- Individuals who are bed-bound or use a wheelchair face an elevated risk of pre due to prolonged pressure and limited mobility.
How Occupational Therapists (OTs) Assist in Pressure Care Management
- Assessment of Risk Factors: OTs conduct thorough assessments utilising standardised and non-standardised assessments to identify individuals at risk of developing pressure sores, taking into account their mobility, health conditions, and skin sensitivity.
- Personalised Care Plans: They develop individualised pressure care management plans that outline specific strategies and interventions.
- Education and Training: OTs educate clients, caregivers and family members on preventative techniques, positioning, safe manual handling techniques, and effective skin care practices.
- Equipment Selection: OTs may recommend and guide the selection of pressure-relieving devices, such as pressure-care mattresses and cushions ensuring they suit the client’s need.
Pressure Care Strategies and Tips
- Regular Position Changes: Encourage frequent repositioning to relieve pressure on vulnerable areas, ideally every 2 hours for individuals who are immobile.
- Use Pressure-Relieving Devices: Invest in specialised mattresses, cushions, and supports designed to redistribute pressure and reduce the risk of sores.
- Maintain Skin Hygiene: Keep the skin clean and dry, using gentle cleansers and moisturising lotions to prevent dryness and irritation.
- Monitor Nutrition and Hydration: Ensure adequate nutrition and hydration to support skin health and healing. A well-balanced diet rich in protein and vitamins is beneficial.
- Educate Caregivers and Family Members: Provide training on pressure care management techniques, including proper positioning and skin inspection.
Step-by-Step Guide to Pressure Care Management
- Assessment and Risk Factors:
- Assess the skin frequently to identify areas at risk for pressure sores or signs of changes, such as redness, swelling, or discomfort. Monitor key risk factors such as climate and temperature, nutrition, hydration, incontinence, comorbidities, medication, clothing, manual handling, and current seating.
- Develop a Care Plan:
- Create an individualised pressure care management plan based on the client’s mobility, risk factors, and specific needs. Include a repositioning schedule, regular skin checks, and adjustments for environmental factors like temperature and seating which affect skin integrity.
- Implement Pressure Relief Strategies:
- Incorporate strategies such as turning schedules, the use of pressure-relieving devices, and repositioning techniques into the daily routine.
- Education:
- Ensure that the individual, caregivers, and family members are informed about early signs of pressure sores, such as persistent redness, temperature changes, and swelling. If sores do not improve or worsen, prompt contact with a healthcare professional is essential for timely intervention.
- Monitor and Adjust:
- Continuously review the care plan’s effectiveness and make adjustments as the individual’s needs or skin condition changes.
- Consult Healthcare Professionals:
- Collaborate with healthcare providers like an occupational therapist or nurse for expert guidance, equipment recommendations, and best practice support.
- Stay Informed:
- Keep up-to-date with the latest research and techniques in pressure care management through workshops, training, and professional resources.
Support Strategies and Tips for Choosing Assistive Technology
- Consult with Professionals: Work with occupational therapists, physiotherapists, or assistive technology specialists to conduct a thorough assessment.
- Encourage Open Communication: Discuss specific needs and preferences with the assessor to ensure that recommendations align with individual goals and preferences.
- Consider the Environment: Evaluate the individual’s living, social, and working environments to identify any barriers that assistive technology can help overcome.
- Trial Equipment When Possible: Whenever feasible, trial various assistive devices to determine which solutions best meet the individual’s needs before making a purchase.
- Educate on Device Use: Ensure that the individual, family and caregivers receive proper training on how to use the recommended assistive technology effectively, including information on accessing repair or replacement services if needed.
Steps and Guides for Accessing Assistive Technology
1. Initiate the Assessment Process:
Begin by consulting with a healthcare provider to express concerns and request an assistive technology assessment. You may need to discuss funding or insurance coverage options for the assessment and recommended equipment.
2. Comprehensive Evaluation:
Undergo a detailed evaluation conducted by an occupational therapist or assistive technology specialist, focusing on physical abilities, cognitive skills, and environmental considerations. This may also include an assessment of sensory needs, which can impact equipment choices. Evaluating the environment ensures that any recommended devices fit, function, and enhance the individual’s daily activities effectively.
3. Identify Goals and Needs:
Collaborate with the assessor to identify specific goals for daily functioning and areas where assistance is required. This process includes setting realistic expectations for how the assistive technology will support the client, considering their preferences, anticipated frequency of use, and any potential costs involved. It’s also essential to identify who will be using the device, including whether the client will require assistance to operate it safely and effectively. For instance, if a device will be used daily or in various settings (e.g., home, work, community), it’s important to ensure durability, ease of transport, and suitability across environments.
4. Research Available Options:
Research and explore a range of assistive devices and technologies that may meet the identified needs and preferences, while also taking into consideration the cost of the device, warranties, ongoing maintenance, and style.
5. Trial Period for Equipment:
If possible, arrange for a trial period with selected assistive devices to assess their effectiveness in real-life situations. The presence of the occupational therapist during this trial period is invaluable, as they can provide practical tips, recommendations, and adjustments to optimise device use. Their expertise ensures that any immediate concerns are addressed and allows for real-time feedback on how the equipment fits into the client’s daily activities. Feedback from both the individual and their caregivers can provide insights on the suitability of the equipment, helping to refine choices and ensure the selection aligns with the client’s unique needs and lifestyle.
6. Obtain Recommendations and Reports:
Receive a brief report or verbal recommendation from the OT on suitable devices. The format may vary depending on funding requirements, such as NDIS funding, which may require a more detailed report.
7. Follow Up on Implementation:
Work with healthcare providers and suppliers to obtain the recommended assistive technology and ensure proper fitting and adjustments. It is essential for the occupational therapist to be present when the device is delivered to confirm that the supplier has provided the correct product as specified. The OT can also answer any immediate questions the client may have, verify that the device meets their unique needs, and ensure that they can use it effectively and confidently. This includes providing any necessary training on manual handling, safe use, and maintenance, as well as making final adjustments to improve functionality and comfort.
8. Monitor and Reassess:
Regularly monitor the effectiveness of the assistive technology and schedule follow-up assessments to make necessary adjustments as the individual’s needs change. OTs should revisit the individual’s environment to ensure seamless integration of the new device(s) and frequent reassessment is especially important in progressive conditions or where a child’s needs change with age.
Conclusion: Assistive technology and equipment assessments are crucial for enhancing independence and quality of life for individuals with disabilities or functional limitations. By recognising signs, engaging in thorough assessments, and implementing appropriate strategies, individuals can access the right devices to optimise their daily functioning and ensure that the assistive technology continues to meet the individual’s needs as circumstances evolve and as environments change.
