Managing pressure injuries at home after hospital discharge
Part of Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a community-based care program to help manage and prevent pressure injuries (bedsores) after you leave the hospital. If you have a pressure injury and a family member or helper at home who can care for it, this program may provide extra support and guidance.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older) who has a pressure injury (any stage) on any part of your body when leaving Singapore General Hospital (SGH).
- You have a family member or foreign domestic worker who will help manage the pressure injury at home after discharge.
- You are going home after discharge (not to a nursing home or another hospital).
- You live within the SGH nursing community zones (the nearby areas covered by the hospital's community services).
- You are not currently receiving mobile inpatient care at home or already enrolled in another similar trial.

This study looks at how to prevent pressure injuries (also called bedsores) in children and young people ages 0-19 who are in the hospital. It focuses on children with darker skin tones, because pressure injuries can be harder to spot on darker skin.
This trial tests an online interactive e-book to see if it helps home care nurses learn more about preventing and treating pressure injuries (bedsores). It might be a good fit if you are a home care nurse wanting to improve your skills in wound care.
This study tests whether online training and counseling for caregivers can help prevent pressure injuries and reduce the burden of caring for a bedridden family member.
This study tests a special care plan to prevent bedsores (pressure injuries) in intensive care patients and looks at whether it helps reduce both how often they happen and the costs. It may help if you or a loved one is admitted to the ICU for at least 24 hours and does not already have a bedsore.
This trial tests a special care bundle (a set of skin checks, cleaning, and repositioning steps) to prevent pressure injuries (bed sores) in hospitalized adults who are able to move somewhat on their own. It is meant for people without existing bed sores or major skin problems, and who are not in intensive care or certain other units.
This study compares the effectiveness and costs of treating pressure ulcers (bedsores) at home versus in a nursing home or care facility. It also looks at how treatment affects quality of life for older adults with pressure ulcers.
