Patient involvement in pressure ulcer prevention and adherence to prevention strategies: An integrative review.

Chronic wounds including pressure ulcers represent a significant burden to patients and healthcare providers. Increasingly patients are required to self-manage their care but patient adherence to prevention strategies is a significant clinical challenge. It is important to increase understanding of the factors affecting patients' ability and willingness to follow pressure ulcer prevention interventions.
