Resumen

GARCIA-DIAZ, F. Javier et al. Reliability in Braden and EMINA's scales for patients in domiciliary, included in the immobilized patients' programme. Gerokomos [online]. 2014, vol.25, n.3, pp.124-130. ISSN 1134-928X.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1134-928X2014000300008.

Objective: Assessing reliability of the Braden and EMINA scales (Rating Scales for the Risk of pressure sores) in-home care. Method: Cross-sectional study. Population of study from Málaga: area of Heath Management East Málaga-Axarquia and mountainous region. Subjects of study: Patients entered in the programme of immobilize persons without pressure sore. Questionnaires: Braden and EMINA. Sample: 30 patients selected by simple randomisation. Results: Braden Scale: Cronbach's coefficient alpha 0.78 for both ratters. The Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) is 0.968. Kappa values for each of the 6 items vary from 0.685 for the friction and slipping item and 1 for the sensorial perception item. EMINA Scale: Cronbach's coefficent alpha 0.69 and 0.73 for each of the two raters, respectively. The Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) is 0.974. Kappa values for each of the 6 items vary from 0.750 for the activity item and 1 for the nutrition item Conclusions: The internal consistency of Braden scales is higher than the consistency of the EMINA scale. However, when the individual item agreement between raters was higher for the EMINA than for the Braden. Both scales, as continuous, are reliable instruments to be used for in-home care, although it would be convenient to establish new cut-off points for the scales in order to categorise the risk of pressure sores for this type of population.
