BRADEN SCALE – For Predicting Pressure Sore Risk Use the form only for the approved purpose. Any use of the form in publications (other than internal policy manuals and training material) or for profit-making ventures requires additional permission and/or negotiation. SEVERE RISK: Total score 9 HIGH RISK: Total score 10-12
The Braden Scale is a standardized, evidence-based assessment tool commonly used in health care to assess and document a client’s risk for developing pressure injuries. See Figure 10.21 [1] for an image of a Braden Scale.
The Braden Scale, named after Barbara Braden and Nancy Bergstrom, is a validated tool designed to assess a patient's risk of developing pressure ulcers. It comprises six subscales: sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, and friction/shear.
The Braden Scale is the gold standard tool used by health care providers to identify risk of developing a pressure injury. Contact us today to learn more about how our program can help mitigate risk at your facility!
The first of the Braden Risk assessment scales is the Braden Scale for Predicting Pressure Sore Risk. Most clinicians refer to it simply as “the Braden Scale.” It is a research-based instrument from a conceptual schema developed and copyrighted by two visionary American nurses, Drs. Barbara Braden and Nancy Bergstrom.

Recommended by NICE - Braden is the most validated and reliable risk assessment tool . A BIT ABOUT THE BRADEN SCALE... Developed 1984 by Braden and Bergstrom. Six elements that contribute to either higher intensity and duration of pressure or lower tissue tolerance to pressure therefore increasing the risk of pressure ulcer development.
Risk assessment is a central component of clinical practice aimed at identifying individuals susceptible to pressure injuries in order to target appropriate interventions and prevent pressure ulcer development.
The Braden scale is a scale that measures the risk of developing pressure ulcers. The scale consists of six subscales that reflect determinants of pressure (sensory perception, activity and mobility) and factors influencing tissue tolerance (moisture, nutrition and friction and shear).
1. Constantly Moist Skin is kept moist almost constantly by perspiration, urine, etc. Dampness is detected every time patient is moved or turned. 2. Very Moist Skin is often, but not always moist. Linen must be changed at least once a shift. 3.
