Pressure Injury Prevention

Most acute care facilities are undergoing a major culture change and transforming into a high reliability organization focused on putting the patient experience first by delivering high quality, safe care. Reducing or eliminating hospital acquired conditions (HAC) fuels many quality improvement (QI) projects and successful reductions are attained when the support is rooted both in senior leadership and at the grassroots level. Yet each HAC requires a unique approach; specifically, pressure injury prevention programs have success with senior leaderships awareness and engagement in the complexities of the clinical and pathologic etiology of pressure injury development. This paper highlights for senior management the following evidence based key elements required for an organization to have a successful pressure injury prevention program: senior leadership engagement, a clinical champion, an interdisciplinary team, unit-based skin champions, nimble processes and access to evidence-based products.

ABSTRACT Objective: to perform the content and face validation of a checklist and a banner on pressure injury prevention in patients in prone position. Method: this is a methodological study of content and face validation with 26 nurses with specialization. Professionals assessed the checklist and the banner in relation to clarity, theoretical relevance, practical relevance, relation of the figures to the text and font size. The Content Validity Index was calculated for each item, considering one with a value equal to or greater than 0.8 as valid. Results: all the actions described in the checklist and in the banner had a Content Validity Index greater than 0.80, with standardization of verbal time and esthetic adjustments in the banner’s layout, as suggested. Conclusions: the checklist and the banner were validated and can be used in clinical practice to facilitate pressure injury preventions in patients in prone position.
