Cross-sectional study that aimed to identify subscales scores that evaluate the risk for pressure ulcer in the implementation of the Braden Scale, and associate them with reasons for hospitalization, comorbidities and demographic characteristics of the hospitalized adult patients. The sample consisted of 187 patients at risk for pressure ulcer with a total score ≤13 on that scale. Data were collected retrospectively in the sheets with the Braden Scale and medical records, analyzed by descriptive statistics and tests of Mann-Whitney and Spearman. The results showed majority of women and elderly with cerebral, pulmonary, cardiovascular, metabolic and cancer diseases. The scores verified by the subscales indicated bedfast patients with limited mobility and activity. The altered nutrition was also an important factor, followed by the problems of friction and/or shearing, alteration of sensory perception and moisture. These findings allow us to support the prevention qualification of pressure ulcer.DESCRIPTORS: Pressure ulcer. Nursing care. Protocols. ANÁLISE DAS SUBESCALAS DE BRADEN COMO INDICATIVOS DERISCO PARA ÚLCERA POR PRESSÃO RESUMO: Estudo transversal com objetivo de identificar a pontuação das subescalas que avaliam o risco para úlcera por pressão na aplicação da Escala de Braden e associá-las aos motivos de internação hospitalar, às comorbidades e às características demográficas de pacientes adultos hospitalizados. A amostra constou de 187 pacientes em risco para úlcera por pressão com escore total ≤13 na referida escala. Os dados foram coletados retrospectivamente em fichas com a Escala de Braden e em prontuários, analisados pela estatística descritiva e testes de Mann-Whitney e Sperman. Os resultados demonstraram maioria de mulheres, idosos, portadores de doenças cerebrovasculares, pulmonares, cardiovasculares, metabólicas e neoplásicas. Os escores verificados pelas subescalas apontaram pacientes acamados, com mobilidade e atividade limitadas. A nutrição alterada também se mostrou fator importante, seguido pelos problemas de fricção e/ou cisalhamento e alteração da percepção sensorial e umidade. Estes achados permitiram subsidiar a qualificação da prevenção da úlcera por pressão. DESCRITORES:Úlcera por pressão. Cuidados de enfermagem. Protocolos.

Objective:To identify the nursing care prescribed for patients in risk for pressure ulcer (PU) and to compare those with the Nursing Interventions Classification (NIC) interventions. Method: Cross mapping study conducted in a university hospital. The sample was composed of 219 adult patients hospitalized in clinical and surgical units. The inclusion criteria were: score ≤ 13 in the Braden Scale and one of the nursing diagnoses, Self-Care deficit syndrome, Impaired physical mobility, Impaired tissue integrity, Impaired skin integrity, Risk for impaired skin integrity. The data were collected retrospectively in a nursing prescription system and statistically analyzed by crossed mapping. Result: It was identified 32 different nursing cares to prevent PU, mapped in 17 different NIC interventions, within them: Skin surveillance, Pressure ulcer prevention and Positioning. Conclusion: The cross mapping showed similarities between the prescribed nursing care and the NIC interventions.
