All patients are at potential risk of developing pressure ulcers. | 3.2 ± 0.77 (2, 4) | 3.56 ± 1.24 (2, 5) | 3.28 ± 1.23 (2, 5) | 3.63 ± 0.92 (2, 5) | 3.36 ± 1.05 (2, 5) |
Pressure ulcer prevention is time consuming for me to carry out. | 4 ± 0.85 (2, 5) | 4 ± 0.5 (3, 5) | 3.44 ± 1.1 (1, 5) | 2.75 ± 1.16 (2, 5) | 3.6 ± 1.03 (1, 5) |
In my opinion, patients tend not to get as many pressure ulcers nowadays. | 3.13 ± 0.99 (2, 5) | 3 ± 1.22 (2, 5) | 2.78 ± 1.11 (1, 5) | 3.25 ± 1.39 (2, 5) | 3 ± 1.12 (1, 5) |
I do not need to concern myself with pressure ulcer prevention in my practice. | 4.4 ± 0.51 (4, 5) | 4.44 ± 0.88 (3, 5) | 4 ± 1.19 (1, 5) | 3.75 ± 1.28 (1, 5) | 4.16 ± 1 (1, 5) |
Pressure ulcer treatment is a greater priority than pressure ulcer prevention. | 4.13 ± 1.19 (1, 5) | 4.44 ± 0.53 (4, 5) | 4 ± 0.91 (2, 5) | 3.88 ± 1.25 (1, 5) | 4.1 ± 0.99 (1, 5) |
Continuous assessment of patients will give an accurate account of their pressure ulcer risk. | 4.47 ± 0.52 (4, 5) | 4.33 ± 0.71 (3, 5) | 4.44 ± 0.51 (4, 5) | 4.25 ± 0.46 (4, 5) | 4.4 ± 0.53 (3, 5) |
Most pressure ulcers can be avoided. | 4.27 ± 0.8 (2, 5) | 4.33 ± 0.71 (3, 5) | 4.33 ± 0.59 (3, 5) | 4.63 ± 0.52 (4, 5) | 4.36 ± 0.66 (2, 5) |
I am less interested in pressure ulcer prevention than other aspects of care. | 3.67 ± 0.98 (2, 5) | 4 ± 0.87 (2, 5) | 3.94 ± 0.73 (3, 5) | 2.88 ± 1.81 (1, 5) | 3.7 ± 1.09 (1, 5) |
My clinical judgment is better than any pressure ulcer risk assessment tool available to me. | 3.27 ± 0.8 (2, 5) | 3.33 ± 1 (1, 4) | 3.61 ± 0.78 (2, 5) | 3 ± 1.41 (1, 4) | 3.36 ± 0.94 (1, 5) |
In comparison with other areas of care, pressure ulcer prevention is a low priority for me. | 4.07 ± 0.46 (3, 5) | 4.22 ± 0.44 (4, 5) | 4.11 ± 0.47 (3, 5) | 3.38 ± 1.3 (2, 5) | 4 ± 0.7 (2, 5) |
Pressure ulcer risk assessment should be regularly carried out on all patients during their stay in hospital. | 4.4 ± 0.51 (4, 5) | 4.11 ± 1.36 (1, 5) | 4.39 ± 0.5 (4, 5) | 4.25 ± 0.71 (3, 5) | 4.32 ± 0.74 (1, 5) |
Average mean Score (individual questions) | 3.91 ± 0.36 (3.36, 4.64) | 3.98 ± 0.39 (3.45, 4.55) | 3.85 ± 0.4 (3.27, 4.55) | 3.6 ± 0.58 (2.91, 4.55) | 3.85 ± 0.42 (2.91, 4.64) |
Total mean Score | 43 ± 3.96 (37, 51) | 43.78 ± 4.29 (38, 50) | 42.33 ± 4.35 (36, 50) | 39.63 ± 6.37 (32, 50) | 42.36 ± 4.65 (32, 51) |
