Objective: To prevent pressure ulcer, detecting risk factors and planning how to act with respect to patients provide to find solution. Thus, Braden Scale is the most common tool that is used in Turkey. This study aimed to measure Braden Scale effectiveness at detecting the risk groups of level 3 intensive care unit patients.Methods: This prospective, single-center study includes 206 level 3 intensive care unit patients whose risk factors were standardized as much as possible in the intensive care unit between January 2014 and May 2015. Routine clinical care was applied to the patients whose risk groups were determined by Braden Scale, and the patients were divided into two groups depending on the presence of a pressure ulcer before discharging from the hospital. Demographic findings, hospitalization duration, mental status, Apache II score, expected/actual mortality, blood albumin levels, and Braden Scale score were compared. Results:Comparison of the groups showed that patients' age, length of stay in intensive care unit, mental status, and blood albumin levels are significantly different between patients with and without pressure ulcers. Furthermore, scores of patients with pressure ulcers were not significantly different from those of patients without pressure ulcers. Data also illustrated that pressure ulcers occurred in no risk patients with the ratio of 7.14%; in low-risk patients with the ratio of 27.8%; in moderate-risk patients with the ratio of 29.73%; in high-risk patients with the ratio of 17.72%.Conclusion: Data evaluation demonstrates that Braden Scale is not effective to detect the risk factors, and parameters related to pressure ulcer development are not sufficiently represented by Braden Scale. Modification of an existing scale or a new risk assessment scale that includes all other risk parameters and that is more suitable for the patients of our country is required.

“…According to the EPAUP guidelines, age and gender parameters are factor in the development of PUs (31). In similar to studies, gender was not found to be a factor affecting PU development (16,19,37). The findings showed that a significant correlation was observed between PU development and the length of stay, confinement to bed, and poor consciousness.…”

“…However, there are Kurtuluş & Pınar (16) and Sayar et al (19) studies indicating no correlation between anemia and PU development. In some studies, serum albumin level was defined as a risk factor (37,41,42). Two different types of viscoelastic foam mattresses were the preventive devices most frequently applied to patients in ICUs.…”

ÖzetBası yarası, hastanede yatan hastaların %8-11'inde görülmektedir. Bu durum, cilt ve cilt altı dokudaki basınç, makaslama kuvveti ve sürtünmenin etkisiyle oluşmaktadır. İleri yaş, beslenme bozuklukları, nemli deri, enfeksiyon ve metabolik hastalıklar (örn; diyabet, böbrek yetmezliği) bası yarası oluşumunu kolaylaştıran diğer faktörlerdir. Bası yarası bir kez geliştikten sonra tedavisi uzun ve maliyetlidir. Önleme ve tedavi açısından basıncı azaltma ve risk faktörlerinin giderilmesi çok önemlidir. Yaranın şiddetine göre uygulanabilecek tedavi yöntemleri; basınç, friksiyon ve makaslama kuvvetinin giderilmesi, yara bakımı, nekrotik doku debridmanı, beslenmenin düzenlenmesi, destek yüzeylerin ve özel yatakların kullanılması, elektroterapi ve cerrahi tedavilerdir. AbstractPrevelance of pressure ulcer is reported as %8-11 among the hospitalized patients. Pressure ulcers are caused by mechanical pressure, traction and friction on the skin and underlying tissue. Old age, poor nourishment, moist skin, infection and metabolic disorders (such as diabet, renal insufficiency ) are the contrıbuting factors. Once a pressure ulcer has developed, the treatment is long and expensive. Relief of pressure and reduction of risk factors are important in the prevention and treatment. Treatment principles include assessing the severity of the wound; reducing pressure, friction, and shear forces, optimizing wound care, removivng necrotic debris, correcting nutritional deficits, using support surfaces and special beds, electrotheraphy, and surgery. Derleme Review 118 GİRİŞ Bası yaraları, dokuların uzun süre basınç altında kalmasına bağlı olarak gelişen ve daha çok vücudun kemik çıkıntıla-rının üzerindeki bölgede ortaya çıkan iskemi, hücre ölümü ve doku nekrozu olarak tanımlanır.1 Bu durum multimorbidite ve immobilitenin ciddi bir komplikasyonudur. EpidemiyolojiBası yaralarının insidansını tam olarak belirleyebilmek zordur. Prevelans çalışmalarında oran incelenen hasta grubuna göre değişiklik göstererek %1,4 ile 36,4 arasında bulunmuştur.2 Mortalite oranı aynı risk faktörlerine sahip kişiler arasında bası yarasının oluşması ile 4,5 kat artmaktadır. 1Yaraya bağlı sepsis gelişmesi durumunda ise mortalite oranı %50'ye kadar yükselmektedir.3 Bası yaraları hastanede yatan hastalarda tedavi ve hastanede kalış maliyetini de ciddi oranda artırmaktadır.1 Bu nedenlerle, bası yarası gelişme riski yüksek olan hastalarda gerekli önlemlerin alınması ve yara oluşumu sonrasında da ucuz ve etkin tedavi yöntemlerinin geliştirilmesi çok önemlidir.
