Overview

Retrospective cohort study identifies factors influencing pressure injury development in nursing home residents, suggesting improved risk assessment methods.

Key Points

  • To examine the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic factors that contribute to pressure injury development among nursing home residents.
  • Exploratory retrospective cohort design using data from the Turn Everyone and Move for Pressure Ulcer Prevention study.
  • Analyzed data from a convenience sample of 998 residents across nine nursing homes.
  • Utilized multivariable logistic regression to identify predictors of pressure injury development.
  • Of 998 residents, 61 (6.1%) developed new pressure injuries.
  • Significant predictors included: higher clinical severity values, underweight status, fewer licensed practical nurse staffing hours, and lower Braden Scale Mobility scores.
  • The findings suggest that both resident-level and facility-level factors play a critical role in assessing pressure injury risk.
