چکیده

Background: Pressure ulcers (PU) are common problems for the elderly, hospitalized patients, and immobile or wheelchair-dependent patients. PU are associated with high treatment costs and negative health outcomes. Nutritional approaches can reduce the intensity of sore development and healing costs. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of nutritional support on the healing of PU. Material and Methods: This study is a review article, performed by examining various library and internet sources, on the role of nutritional supplements in the healing of pressure ulcers. Articles in both Persian and English are located with relevant keywords from the following databases: PubMed, Scopus, SID, Medline, Science Direct and Iranmedex. Results: The results show that nutritional supplements alongside normal food intake are one of the logical strategies in treating PU. An oral diet high in energy, rich in proteins and rich in arginine and glutamine amino acids, also containing high amounts of anti-oxidants (vitamins C and E), zinc, electrolyte solutions, vitamin D, and calcium is essential for repair and wound healing, improving blood flow, and reducing scar progression. Conclusion: Specific nutritional supplements can accelerate the healing of PU, and are associated with better outcomes.
