Abstract: Objective To investigate the present situation and influencing factors of medical adhesive related skin injury (MARSI) in the elderly inpatients. Methods A total of 246 inpatients aged 60 years and over were investigated by using clinical data questionnaire and adhesive product questionnaire. Results There were 58 cases presenting with skin lesions, and the incidence of MARSI was 23. 58%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, nutritional status, comorbidities and skin problems were the independent influencing factors of MARSI in the elderly inpatients. Conclusions The incidence of MARSI in the elderly inpatients is closely related to age, nutritional status, comorbidities and skin. However, there is still a lack of relevant and complete nursing system. It is necessary to establish a standardized management process to reduce the incidence of MARSI.
