Braden Scale Calculator (Pressure Injury Risk)
Calculate the Braden scale score to assess risk of pressure injuries in hospitalised patients.
How to Use the Braden Scale Calculator
- Score sensory perception (1–4).
- Score moisture level (1–4).
- Score activity level (1–4).
- Score mobility (1–4).
- Score nutritional status (1–4).
- Score friction and shear (1–3).
Anwendungsfälle
- •Pressure injury prevention planning in hospitals.
- •Identifying high-risk patients for intensive repositioning.
- •Nursing documentation and care planning.
Formel
Braden Scale = Sensory(1-4) + Moisture(1-4) + Activity(1-4) + Mobility(1-4) + Nutrition(1-4) + Friction/Shear(1-3). Range 6–23. Lower = higher risk.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
What is the Braden scale?
The Braden scale is a widely used tool for assessing pressure injury risk. It has six subscales: sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction/shear. Lower scores indicate higher risk.
How is the Braden scale interpreted?
Score ≤9: Very high risk. Score 10–12: High risk. Score 13–14: Moderate risk. Score 15–18: Mild risk. Score ≥19: Low/no risk. Preventive measures should begin at scores ≤18.
