Skala Braden Q digunakan untuk memprediksi risiko luka tekan pada anak sekaligus sebagai baseline untuk menentukan tindakan pencegahan. Penelitian ini bertujuan membahas pengaruh perawatan kulit berdasarkan skor Skala Braden Q terhadap kejadian luka tekan . Design penelitian adalah kuasi eksperimen dengan post test only design with control group. Hasil penelitian secara statistik tidak ada pengaruh antara perawatan kulit berdasarkan skor Skala Braden Q dengan kejadian luka tekan anak di PICU (p=0,60 ; α=0,05). Trend analysis dengan pendekatan kualitatif menunjukkan perawatan kulit berdasarkan skor Skala Braden Q efektif untuk mencegah luka tekan dan kerusakan kulit lebih lanjut. Hasil penelitian menyarankan agar institusi pelayanan keperawatan mengadopsi Skala Braden Q untuk memprediksi risiko luka tekan, melakukan intervensi sesuai kategori risiko luka tekan; serta penelitian selanjutnya untuk menambah jumlah sampel, memperpanjang waktu pengamatan, dan mempertimbangkan indikator mikroskopik luka tekan.

Braden Q scale is used to predict the risk of pediatric pressure ulcer and as baseline for determine the prevention as well. The purpose of this study was to identify the influence of skin care based on Braden Q Scale to pediatric pressure ulcer incidence in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). Design of this research was quasy experimental with post test only design with control group. The result of this study was not statistically significance between skin care based on Braden Q Scale with the incidence of pressure ulcer on children in PICU (p=0,60 ; α=0,05). Trend analysis with qualitative approach showed that skin care based on Braden Q Scale was effective for preventing pressure ulcer. The researcher suggests that health care provider should adopt Braden Q scale for predicting pressure ulcer risk in pediatric, implementing nursing intervention based on score of Braden Q scale; and future research should increase the number of sample, prolonge the skin observation, and consider pressure ulcer microscopic indicator.
