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).
