Psychometric Evaluation of the EVARUCI Scale in Turkish Intensive Care Units

Sponsor: Istanbul University

Summary

International guidelines recommend the use of Pressure Injury risk assessment tools. According to these guidelines, a systematic approach to assessing risk for PI development is essential. Although several tools have been developed, no single clinical pathway is considered superior. Instead, a comprehensive evaluation of risk factors, combined with visual skin assessment, is recommended. The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability of the EVARUCI Scale in a Turkish intensive care unit setting by performing cross-cultural adaptation and linguistic validation, and to examine its validity and reliability through psychometric testing.
