Validity of pressure ulcer risk assessment scales: review

Original language description

The aim of the review was to determine the predictive validity of selected pressure ulcer risk assessment scales. Prediction of a risk of pressure ulcers is a priority issue in nursing. In the foreign literature, there are currently lots of research studies dealing with the validity of pressure ulcer risk assessment scales. Methods: The data sources were articles in three licenced, free and electronic databases. The inclusion criteria were met by fifteen studies on the validity of the Braden, Norton, Waterlow Scale, Song and Choi, Cubbin and Jackson, Modified Norton, EVARUCI, Suriadi and Sanada and Modified Braden scales. Conclusion: There is a need for examining the predictive validity of pressure ulcer risk assessment scales in our clinical setting and comparing the results with foreign studies. Before examining the predictive validity of pressure ulcer risk assessment scales, their proper and consistent translation is needed, according to recognized methodology.
