The prevalence of PU was 33.3% and 26.6% incidence. <span style="color: black;">The total scores of the Braden Scale were lower and differences were statistically significant for the group of patients with PU in the discharge assessments </span>(OR=0,774). <span style="color: black;">Low scores on the Braden Scale were predictive for the development of PU. </span>I<span class="longtext"><span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%;">t was observed that the Braden scale constitutes an important tool for clinical practice of nurses, as it allows the identification of the degree of risk for the development of PU, allowing thus the implementation of an individualized care plan.</span></span></span>
