| dc.description.abstract | Background: the prevention of pressure injuries depends on early and correct assessment of at-risk patients. Since risk assessment is more than identifying it using a risk factor instrument, we intend to map the existing recommendations and statements of good practice for pressure injury risk assessment in adults admitted to intensive care units, as well as identifying the strengths of evidence and recommendations. Methods: scoping review, by Joanna Briggs Institute, adopting the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews as a guide for writing the study. Results: the search was carried out in six databases, resulting in 741 studies, of which 15 were included. The recommendations and statements of good practice were grouped into five categories: risk assessment instruments, skin assessment, medical device surveillance, other alternatives to risk assessment and implement the best practices in clinical settings. The strengths of evidence and recommendation were identified, when available in the literature. Conclusions: the mapping showed that the evidence is sufficient to indicate the recommendations and statements of good practice to risk assessment of pressure injuries in adults admitted to an intensive care unit. The protocol was retrospectively registered in the Open Science Framework on the 4th of august of 2023 (https: | eng |
