Abstract

A retrospective study of infants in 2 Level III NICUs and 1 Level IV NICU is being finalized, which will result in an infant skin risk assessment tool as well as a tool describing methods to minimize each risk factor. Further research will be needed to test the interrater reliability and validity of the tool and increase knowledge of skin breakdown prevention practices.
