Predictive validity of the Braden scale for pressure ulcer risk in critical care patients

Abstract: This methodological study aimed to evaluate the predictive validity of the Braden scale in critical care patients. The study was conducted in four intensive care units of a general private hospital. After approval of the project by the Hospital Ethics Committee, during six months, adult patients admitted to ICUs with a Braden score ≤18 and without PU were assessed upon admission and at 48-hours intervals as long as the patient remained at risk or until the development of PU, patients' discharge, death or trans… Show more

“…Similarly, the evaluation of these patients' nutritional status is important, as it determines the need for the validated intervention of Nutrition management, to maintain the organism with an adequate nutritional intake and thus facilitate its capacity to maintain skin integrity, in addition to promoting its regeneration and the process of healing (16,20) .…”

“…It is known that one of the determinants for PU is skin moisture, a condition which makes it more fragile and susceptible to friction and maceration. Moisture, whether from products or from physiological secretions or fluids, causes softening and maceration of the skin, with a reduction in its tensile strength, rendering it weaker to compression, friction and shear, in addition to fostering an increase in the growth of micro-organisms which impair its integrity (20) .…”

“…Táto identifikácia prebieha na základe implementácie škál na posúdenie rizika vzniku dekubitov. V súčasnosti existuje na svete takmer 40 škál na posúdenie rizika vzniku dekubitu (2,3). Napriek ich množstvu boli psychometrické vlastnosti testované len u niektorých (4).…”

“…Najčastejšie psychometricky testovanými škálami na posúdenie rizika vzniku dekubitov v zahraničí sú škála Bradenovej, škála Nortonovej a škála Waterlowej (11, 14 ,15, 16). Výskumné štúdie v zahraničí sa zameriavajú na zisťovanie validity týchto škál (2,3,17). Dôležitým psychometrickým ukazovateľom použitia meracieho nástroja je však aj inter-rater reliabilita škály.…”
