Summary

This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the Critical Care Pressure Ulcer Assessment Tool Made Easy (CALCULATE) into Turkish and to evaluate its validity and reliability for use in ICU patients.

This study sought to answer the following questions:

Is the Turkish version of the CALCULATE Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale a valid instrument for determining the risk of pressure injury in patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)?

Is the Turkish version of the CALCULATE Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale a reliable instrument for determining the risk of pressure injury in patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)?

Conditions

  • Pressure Injuries
  • Intensive Care (ICU)

Interventions

OTHER

ICU pressure injury prevention protocol as standard care

Patients were followed from the time of ICU admission until discharge. During the follow-up period, pressure injury risk was assessed only through the CALCULATE and Braden scales; no additional intervention was applied as part of the study. Throughout hospitalization, all patients received the unit's routine ICU pressure injury prevention protocol as standard care.
