Abstract
Una herida crónica se define como una pérdida de continuidad de la superficie epitelial con pérdida de
sustancia con escasa o nula tendencia a la curación espontánea y que requiere períodos muy
prolongados para su cicatrización por segunda intención. Constituye un importante problema
asistencial que afecta al sistema de salud por la disminución de la calidad de vida, su elevado coste
económico y por la dedicación de mucho tiempo de los profesionales de Enfermería.
El objetivo de este estudio consiste en describir la prevalencia y tipo de heridas que padecen los
pacientes atendidos en el Servicio de Urgencias, programados para fines de semana por su enfermero
del centro de salud.
Los resultados obtenidos evidencian que casi la mitad de los pacientes acudían por presentar heridas
crónicas, y que el 30% no traían indicaciones de su enfermero referente de la realización de la cura
ABSTRACT A chronic wound is defined as a loss of continuity of the epithelial surface with a loss of substance with little or no tendency to spontaneous healing and that requires very long periods for healing by secondary intention. It is an important health care problem affecting the health system because of the decreasing quality of life, their high cost and long-time dedication of professional nurses. The aim of this study is to describe the prevalence and the type of injuries suffered by patients treated in the Emergency Service, scheduled for weekends by his/her nurse at the out-patients clinic. The results obtained show that almost a half of the patients attended the clinic for chronic wounds and the 30% of them did not bring their nurse indications concerning the realization of the cure.
