The objective is to describe the expectations and preferences of our oncohematological outpatients with respect to their oral treatments, and to evaluate the concordance with the results of European Public Assessment Reports.
Method: A survey of onco-hematological patients' expectations and preferences about overall survival and quality of life was developed, with three items: expectations on treatment, preferences of benefit and willingness to receive novel treatments with non-definitive results.
Aim: To assess the impact of implementing the "Risk Assessment and Prevention of Pressure Injuries (PI)" guideline on adherence to its recommendations, the prevalence of PI and the sustainability of results, and to analyse the implementation strategies, sustainability and barriers detected.
Methods: A retrospective observational study (June 2015 to December 2018). Two periods were studied (P1: Preparation and P2: Sustainability).
