Abstract：
Skin tears are common injuries that result from mechanical forces. Older people with fragile skin are at greater risk of this type of wound. They are usually categorised as acute wounds that typically heal in 7-21 days but the healing process can be disrupted, leading to chronic, non-healing wounds. They have the potential to compromise quality of life and disrupt daily activities, so it is important to identify risk factors and implement prevention strategies for those at risk. An interdisciplinary approach has a pivotal role in promptly and precisely identifying skin tears, and the use of evidence-based interventions for efficient skin damage management can enhance the recovery process. This article adopts a case study approach to explore the prevention, evaluation and treatment of skin tears, using the case of an individual living with a skin tear in a community setting.
摘要：
皮肤撕裂是由机械力引起的常见损伤。皮肤脆弱的老年人患这种伤口的风险更大。它们通常被归类为急性伤口，通常在7-21天内愈合，但愈合过程可能会中断，导致慢性，不愈合的伤口。它们有可能损害生活质量并破坏日常活动，因此，识别风险因素并为有风险的人实施预防策略非常重要。跨学科的方法在及时准确地识别皮肤眼泪方面具有关键作用，使用循证干预措施进行有效的皮肤损伤管理可以增强恢复过程。本文采用案例研究的方法来探讨预防,皮肤撕裂的评估和治疗，使用个人生活在社区环境中的皮肤撕裂的情况。
