A simplified BRADEN scale for the risk of developing pressure injuries

Nursing in Critical Care, 2023
AbstractBackgroundPressure injuries (PIs) are a major problem for healthcare providers, impacting both care costs and patients' quality of life, although they are predominately preventable. These injuries are especially present in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) as a result of the severity of the clinical conditions of patients in this unit.AimTo develop a

THE EFFECT OF WEB-BASED BRADEN SCALE TRAINING ON THE RELIABILITY AND PRECISION OF BRADEN SCALE PRESSURE ULCER RISK ASSESSMENTS

Journal of Wound, Ostomy & Continence Nursing, 2008
To evaluate the effect of Web-based Braden Scale training on the reliability and precision of pressure ulcer risk assessments made by registered nurses (RN) working in acute care settings.Pretest-posttest, 2-group, quasi-experimental design.Five hundred Braden Scale risk assessments were made on 102 acute care patients deemed to be at various levels of

The Effect of Web-Based Braden Scale Training on the Reliability of Braden Subscale Ratings

Journal of Wound, Ostomy & Continence Nursing, 2009
The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of Web-based Braden Scale training on the reliability of Braden Scale subscale ratings made by nurses working in acute care hospitals. A secondary purpose was to describe the distribution of reliable Braden subscale ratings before and after Web-based Braden Scale training.Secondary analysis ...

The Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk

Nursing Research, 1987
The Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk was developed to foster early identification of patients at risk for forming pressure sores. The scale is composed of six subscales that reflect sensory perception, skin moisture, activity, mobility, friction and shear, and nutritional status.

The Braden Scale

Orthopaedic Nursing, 2004
This review of recent research was undertaken to answer questions about the predictive performance of the Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Ulcer Risk. The data are varied across settings, conditions, and populations. Although the predictive values of an at-risk classification are consistently modest, they may be understated because of the ...

A Comparison of the Braden Q and the Braden QD Scale to Assess Pediatric Risk for Pressure Injuries During Noninvasive Ventilation

Respiratory Care, 2021
BACKGROUND: Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) masks are implicated in 59% of respiratory device-related pressure injuries in hospitalized children. Historically, the Braden Q scale was not adequate in identifying risk for pressure injury associated with devices and, therefore, was modified to the Braden QD scale ...

Nurses’ Interpretation of Patient Status Descriptions on the Braden Scale

Clinical Nursing Research, 2013
The risk of pressure ulcers is widely assessed using the Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Ulcer Risk, which describes patient characteristics for various severity levels. However, many of these characteristics are described in vague terms that nurses may interpret inconsistently, potentially threatening scale reliability. To examine the consistency

[Interrater reliability of the Braden scale].

Pflege, 2008
Pressure ulcer risk assessment scales can assist nurses in determining the individual pressure ulcer risk. Although the Braden scale is widely used throughout Germany, its psychometric properties are yet unknown. The aim of the study was to determine the interrater reliability of the Braden scale and to compare the results with those of published data.
