A descriptive comparison study was carried out to determine whether there was a difference between a staff nurse's single-item pressure ulcer risk assessment and a risk assessment using the Braden Scale. Seventy-two medical patients participated in the study. Statistical analysis of the data indicated nurses were accurate in predicting pressure ulcer risk with a simple YES/NO answer. The mean Braden Score for those patients indicated at risk by the nurse was 14.45, and 20.24 for those assessed to be not at risk. This study indicates that nurses' good judgement is as reliable as more complicated tools in determining pressure ulcer risk. Further studies comparing risk assessment tools are recommended.
开展了一项描述性比较研究，以确定护士的单项压疮风险评估与使用Braden量表进行的风险评估之间是否存在差异。72名内科患者参与了该研究。数据的统计分析表明，护士通过简单的“是/否”回答就能准确预测压疮风险。护士评估为有风险的患者的Braden评分均值为14.45，评估为无风险的患者的Braden评分均值为20.24。本研究表明，在确定压疮风险方面，护士的良好判断力与更复杂的工具一样可靠。建议进一步开展比较风险评估工具的研究。
