Abstract

Background. The decision that uncontrolled chronic diseases exacerbate the incidence of pressure ulcers highlights the critical relationship between disease management and pressure ulcer prevention. When chronic conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HTN) are not properly controlled, they can contribute to factors like poor circulation, impaired healing, and decreased tissue integrity, all of which can increase the risk of developing pressure ulcers. Emphasizing the importance of managing chronic diseases effectively through medication adherence, lifestyle modifications, and regular monitoring is crucial in reducing the incidence and severity of pressure ulcers in at-risk patients.
