Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the risk of pressure ulcer in patients with neurosurgical diseases more exactely, and to reduce the occurrence rate of pressure ulcer. Methods The risk factors of 500 patients with wneurosurgical diseases were evaluated using two scales(the self-designed pressure ulcer risk measuring scale and the Braden scale),and the reliability and validity were compared. Results The Cronbaeh'S α for self-made pressure ulcer measuring scale was 0.941,that for Braden scale was 0.743.The factor analysis showed both two measuring scale had good structural validity. When diagnose critical value for self-made measuring scale arrived to 16,the sensitivity was 89％ and the specificity was 78％.When diagnose critical value for Braden scale arrived to 18,the sensitivity was 78％and the specificity was 58％. Conclusions The two measuring scales bear good reliability, structural validity and predictive validity, but self-made pressure ulcer measuring scale is better than Braden scale in patients with neurosurgical diseases. Self-designed pressure ulcer measuring scale could be a suitable measuring tool in the prediction of pressure ulcer for patients with neurosurgical disease.
