A redesigned pressure ulcer program based on nursese' beliefs about the braden scale

摘要

We examined nurses' perceptions about the value and applicability of the Braden Scale as an evidence-based practice assessment tool for determining nursing interventions. Findings revealed that nurses most often chose interventions associated with improving mobility over all other components of the Braden Scale assessment. The redesign of a clinical education program using targeted scenarios for aligning nursesê practice beliefs with comprehensive evidence-based practice interventions is described.
