Association of skin tone and pressure injury severity in an international prevalence survey sample
Background
Decades of research show that individuals who are Black experience higher-stage pressure injuries (PIs) than other racial/ethnic groups. Investigators primarily attribute differences to difficulty visualizing early injury in dark skin tones. Yet, few have actually measured skin tone.
Purpose
This novel study examined the relationship between Monk Skin Tone Scale assessments and PI stage using an international PI prevalence database.
Methods
Multinomial logistic regression models for hospital-acquired and community-acquired PI stage were employed, controlling for common covariates.
Discussion
Medium–DST (Monk 06–10) were associated with a two- to fourfold relative risk of developing a stage 2 or stage 3+ PI versus stage 1.
Conclusion
Recent literature combined with study results indicates a widespread skin tone-research gap. Comprehensive efforts are needed. Leaders must set research priorities, shape policy, and model standards in education and practice that promote representation across the spectrum of human skin tones.
