Use of a risk-based intervention bundle to prescribe and implement interventions to prevent pressure injury: An observational study.

Aim: To explore the relationship between the prescription and implementation of pressure injury preventative interventions following risk assessment combined with a risk-stratified intervention bundle.

Design: Single-centre, cross-sectional, observational, prospective.

Methods: The charts and bedsides of 341 adult inpatients were examined.

Pressure injury risk assessment and prescription of preventative interventions using a structured tool versus clinical judgement: An interrater agreement study.

Aim: To assess agreement of pressure injury risk level and differences in preventative intervention prescription between nurses using a structured risk assessment tool compared with clinical judgement.

Design: Interrater agreement study.

Methods: Data were collected from November 2019 to December 2022.

Comparison of pressure injury risk assessment outcomes using a structured assessment tool versus clinical judgement: A systematic review.

Background: Whilst performing a pressure injury risk assessment is not in itself preventive, risk status identification is critical to inform the judicious implementation of prevention strategies. Risk assessment is mostly undertaken using a structured tool informed by clinical judgement, though there is a perception that use of clinical judgement alone may be sufficient.

Objectives: Within acute hospital settings, to identify differences in outcomes (risk status, preventive interventions) following nursing assessment of pressure injury risk when using a structured assessment tool compared to clinical judgement.
