Abstract

Objective: To assess the risk of pressure ulcers using the Braden Scale and identify related factors among inpatients at Cu Chi Area General Hospital from July to August, 2024. Subjects and Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was conducted with a minimum sample of 124 inpatients hospitalized for more than 5 days. Data were collected using a structured checklist based on the Braden Scale and prevention-related care factors. Results: The average Braden score was 16.9 ± 3.7, indicating moderate-to-high risk. After preventive care interventions, the proportion of patients at risk decreased from 60.5% to 46.8%. The actual rate of pressure ulcer occurrence among at-risk patients was 3.2%. Nurses were the main caregivers involved in prevention (71.8%), while caregiver involvement from patient relatives remained low (20.9%). Conclusion: Nursing care plays a crucial role in pressure ulcer prevention. It is essential to implement a standardized prevention protocol using the Braden Scale and to provide ongoing training for nurses to improve care quality and reduce complications.
