Study data were collected using the survey technique and the following tools\: the risk scale for pressure ulcer development by Norton, the Abbreviated Mental Test Score \(AMTS\), the Activity of Daily Living scale \(ADL\), the Mini Nutritional Assessment scale \(MNA\), Torrance's scale, the digital measurement of chronic wound based on color, and the proprietary survey questionnaire. The statistical analysis was carried out using the STATISTICA 13.3 PL suite \(StatSoft, PL\). Quantitative variables were presented as arithmetic mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, median. Qualitative variables were presented as abundances and frequencies. Distribution of quantitative variables was assessed using the Shapiro\-Wilk and the Kolmogorov\-Smirnov tests, and equality of group variances were assessed using the Levene’s test. The analysis of significance differences was based on the U Mann\-Whitney and the Chi\-squared \(χ2\) tests. Kruskal\-Wallis test was also applied, as well as appropriate post\-hoc tests, the Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient and the Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient. For all analyses, effects with probability value p below the accepted significance level of α = 0.05 \(p < 0.05\) were considered significant. RESULTS"]
