Introduction<br />
Aim: To create a specific <strong>scale</strong> for critical care patients <strong>and</strong><br />
study its reliability <strong>and</strong> validity.<br />
• High cost problem:<br />
• (Prevention:1,38 € / patient in one day)<br />
• (Treatment: 24 -6800 € / patient)<br />
• Incidence: 6-33%. Prevalence: 41%<br />
Why a specific <strong>scale</strong>?<br />
• Most <strong>of</strong> <strong>scale</strong>s used are not designed for CCU (Braden, Nor<strong>to</strong>n)<br />
• Risk fac<strong>to</strong>rs linked <strong>to</strong> CCU are not included<br />
• The specific ones (Cubbin-Jackson) didn´t have enough<br />
reliability <strong>and</strong> validity studies in Spanish, or are difficult <strong>to</strong> use<br />
because they contain <strong>to</strong>o many items.
