TL;DR
This paper introduces a validated risk assessment scale to identify hospitalized adults at risk of skin injuries caused by medical adhesives.
Contribution
The paper presents a new, validated tool (ERLAM) for assessing the risk of medical adhesive-related skin injuries in hospitalized adults.
Findings
The scale has 48 items and eight domains, with scores below 11 indicating low risk.
The scale demonstrated high validity (0.94 content validity coefficient) and reliability (0.92 intraclass correlation).
The tool is ready for use in Brazilian Portuguese and can help prevent medical adhesive-related skin injuries.
Abstract
to develop and validate the Risk Assessment Scale for the Development of Medical Adhesive-related Skin Injuries in hospitalized adults. 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. 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,…
