Abstract

Objective: to analyze the evidence on applying the Risk Assessment Scale for the Development of Injuries Resulting from Surgical Positioning in the perioperative period. Methods: an integrative review was conducted by searching four health databases and gray literature. A reference manager was used to import the identified records and remove duplicate publications. The Rayyan web application was used to select primary studies. Data analysis and synthesis were carried out in descriptive form. Results: the sample consisted of 17 surveys. In 15, the authors applied the scale in health services to investigate the risk of developing injuries resulting from surgical positioning and the occurrence of injuries; for example, pressure injury. In one study, the scale was adopted to analyze the concurrent validity of the Munro scale and, in another, for the translation and validation of the scale in Turkey. Conclusion: the scale was applied mainly to assess the risk of injuries in different surgical environments. Contributions to practice: the evidence generated supports the use of the scale in health services and indicates the need to conduct more robust research.
