The aim of this study was to evaluate the translation, cross-cultural fit, and psychometric properties of the ICU-specific pressure injury risk scale
This was a prospective, cross-sectional study aimed at translation and cultural adaptation of the RAPS-ICU into Turkish, while also assessing its validity and reliability.Patients who meet the inclusion criteria and who are hospitalized in the Intensive Care Clinics of Istinye University Bahçeşehir Liv Hospital and Harran University Hospital will participate in the study. In this study, Turkish adaptation of the 'Intensive care unit-specific pressure injury risk assessment scale' is planned. After language adaptation, its validity and reliability will be tested. The reliability of the intensive care unit-specific pressure injury risk assessment scale will be assessed by inter-rater reliability and internal consistency (determined by calculating Cronbach alpha coefficient), and its validity will be assessed by convergent and divergent validity of the scale. Relative reliability was obtained by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Relative reliability will be obtained by calculating the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The receiver operator characteristics (ROC) curve has been used to estimate sensitivity and specificity and will represent the false positive rate versus the true positive rate across various thresholds for different scores.

ICU-Specific Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale (RAPS-ICU)
The RAPS-ICU was developed by W°ahlin et al to identify patients at risk of developing pressure injuries in the ICU. The RAPS-ICU has six domains that assess failure in vital organs, mobility, moisture, sensory perceptions, special treatments, and consciousness. Five of the six domains scored 1-4 points progressing from most to least severity of alteration; failure in vital organs domains ranged from 1-3 points. Overall PI risk is reflected by a total score ranging from 6 to 23. The lower the total score the greater the estimated risk of developing a PI. Risk scores can be categorized as increased (16-18), high (12-15), and very high (≤11) risk for PI.
