Pressure sores and pressure sore prevention in a rehabilitation setting: building information for improving outcomes
1Braintree Hospital Rehabilitation Network, MA 02184, USA.
Abstract:
Quantifiable information regarding pressure sore prevention and management is a prerequisite for program development, outcome evaluation, and resource allocation. In this study, all patients admitted to an acute rehabilitation setting (N = 446) during a 2-month period were assessed for the presence of a pressure sore, the risk for developing a pressure sore, the rate of agreement between "objective" (Braden scale) and "subjective" (standard nursing admission data) measures of risk and outcome, and the status of pressure sores at discharge. This article provides the details of the project and implications for rehabilitation nursing practice.
