Association of Braden scale and subscale scores of patients with and without open wound pressure ulcers
Keywords:
open wound, pressure ulcer, association, Braden scaleAbstract
Background: PU is caused by physical elements such as shearing forces, friction, and dampness. Long periods of sitting or lying in the same position without moving can cause ischemia and necrosis of the skin and underlying tissues in patients with neurological problems. Schizophrenia, severe depression, and other serious mental illnesses, as well as any hygienic neglect and the older age group, between 60 and 80 years, also enhance the risk of PU development. Objective: To identify the association of braden scale with the development of open wound PU among patients who were hospitalized with neurological disorders at a private tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Methodology: According to calculated sample size 93 people from Pakistan's Murshid Hospital and Healthcare Centre (MHHCC) were enrolled in the study using a cross-sectional analytical study design. An organized questionnaire was used to collect the demographic data and braden scale was used associate the findings. SPSS 21 was used to analyze the data and the Chi-Square test was applied to find the association. Results: . Patients in group I had an average age of 54.27±17.49 years. It was 52.23±19.77 years in group II, with no statistically significant difference between the groups (p = 0.47).
