Garc\u00eda Fern\u00e1ndez, a member of our group, adapted the Neonatal Skin Risk Assessment Scale to the Spanish context and tested its validity and reliability. The Journal of Nursing Management recently published the Spanish version of the scale, e-NSRAS. The intent of the Spanish Neonatal Skin Risk Assessment Scale is to identify hospitalised neonates requiring prevention measures and their specific risk factors, to provide useful diagnostic information to improve the neonatal skin care into Spanish speaking countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The research was performed in 10 neonatal units. Overall, we use an observational study design, but divided it in to three stages. In the first stage, the transcultural adaptation of the scale and its content validation was performed. For the second stage, the inter-rater \/ intra-rater agreement and construct validity were evaluated using a cross-sectional<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">design. Finally, in the third stage, a cohort study to analyse pressure ulcers\u2019 incidence, diagnostic tests and the cut-off points of the scale was performed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Through this rigorous validation process, the e-NSRAS could ensure the efficient and effective allocation of limited preventive resources, support clinical and management decisions, allow risk-adjusted cases in epidemiological studies, facilitate the development of risk assessment protocols and serve as evidence in litigation cases. All these features could facilitate developing best practice in nursing management and improve the quality and safety of neonatal care.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">See the reference: Pablo Garc\u00eda-Molina, Evelin Balaguer L\u00f3pez, Jos\u00e9 Verd\u00fa, Andreu Nolasco, Francisco P.
