Objective To investigate the incidence of medical adhesive-related skin injuries (MARSI) and analyze its influencing factors among elderly patients, in order to provide reference for its prevention. Method We carried out a cross-sectional descriptive study in the Department of Geriatrics of a class-3 grade A hospitals in Sichuan Province between June 1 and July 31, 2015. Totally, 288 patients aged from 62 to 95 years [with the average of (82±13) years] met the inclusion criteria of the study. We analyzed the MARSI situation of the patients, and at the same time, we surveyed 126 nursing workers on their knowledge about MARSI. Results The number of patients with MARSI was 37, and the incidence was 12.85%. The difference of Braden scores between patients with and without MARSI was statistically significant (P<0.001) . About 70% of the nursing staff knew little about MARSI. Conclusions We should pay attention to MARSI, improve nurses' knowledge and explore scientific preventive measures.
