Abstract: Objective: To explore the pressure ulcer risk status and its related factors in elderly patients. Methods: A total of 267 elderly patients were recruited by convenience sampling method. They were investigated with the Braden Scale, short-form mini-nutrition assessment (MNA-SF), the International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire Urinary Incontinence Short Form (ICIQ-SF), and Faces Pain Scale Revised (FPS-R). Wilcoxon rank sum test, Spearman correlation and multivariate regression were used to identify related factors of the risk of pressure ulcer. Results: There were 58 (21.7%) cases having pressure ulcer risk, 42(15.7%) with low risk, 7 (2.6%) with moderate risk, and 9 (3.4%) with high risk, respectively. There were 177(66.3%) patients with malnutrition, 242(90.6%) having mild urinary incontinence, 19(7.1%) with moderate and 6(2.3%) with severe urinary incontinence.In the past 4 weeks, 107(40.1%) patients lived with pain. Univariate analysis showed that the risk of pressure ulcer was significantly associated with gender, living conditions, education level and income. Multivariate analysis indicated that age, income, malnutrition,urinary incontinence and pain were independent influencing factors of pressure ulcer risk in elderly patients. Conclusion: Active interventions should be implemented to reduce the pressure ulcer risk and improve the life quality in the elderly.
