Keywords:
Geriatrics, Holistic Nursing, Prevention, Pressure UlcersAbstract
Pressure ulcers are one of the serious complications that often occur in geriatric patients due to immobility, circulatory disorders, and malnutrition. A holistic nursing approach that includes physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects is an effective strategy in pressure ulcer prevention. This study used a literature review to explore pressure ulcer prevention strategies in geriatric patients. The literature review was conducted by reviewing various journals and related scientific sources, while the case analysis was conducted based on reports and case documentation in nursing practice. The results of the study show that a holistic approach to nursing, including skin care, nutritional management, patient repositioning, psychosocial support, and family involvement, plays an important role in reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. The conclusion of this study confirms that the application of holistic nursing can not only prevent pressure ulcers but also improve the quality of life of geriatric patients. Therefore, education for nursing staff and families is essential to increase the effectiveness of holistic nursing-based pressure ulcer prevention.
