Abstract:
to develop and validate the Risk Assessment Scale for the Development of Medical Adhesive-related Skin Injuries in hospitalized adults.
Abstract:
methodological study consisting of the development, face validity, content validity, predictive criterion validity, and interobserver reliability analysis of the scale. It was developed using risk factors obtained in an integrative review and underwent face and content validation by seven judges. Three hundred and twenty-nine patients participated in the predictive criterion validity and 32 in the reliability analysis.
Abstract:
the scale consists of 48 items and eight domains. Scores < 11 classify patients as low risk and ≥ 11 as high risk for developing medical adhesive injuries. In face validity, there was 100% agreement among the judges, and in content validity, a total content validity coefficient of 0.94 was obtained. In predictive criterion validity, there was a statistically significant association (p < 0.001) between the score generated by the scale and the occurrence of medical adhesive injuries. The reliability analysis obtained an intraclass correlation coefficient of 0.92.
Abstract:
the scale developed is a valid and reliable tool for identifying the risk of injury from medical adhesives in hospitalized adults.

The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...
