Complex and interrelated factors contribute to iatrogenic skin injury in the older adult, including multiple comorbidities, factors influencing healthcare delivery, and acute situational stressors. A range of injuries can result when these factors are complicated by skin irritants, pressure, shear, or friction; however, despite skin injuries sharing multiple antecedents, no unified overarching skin safety conceptual model has been published.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The SSM presented in this article offers a new, unified framework that encompasses the spectrum of antecedents to skin vulnerability as well as the spectrum of iatrogenic skin injuries that may be sustained by older acute care patients. Current skin integrity frameworks address prevention and management of specific skin injuries. In contrast, the SSM recognizes the complex interplay of patient and system factors that may result in a range of iatrogenic skin injuries. Skin safety is reconceptualized into a single model that has the potential for application at the individual patient level, as well as healthcare systems and governance levels.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical Relevance<\/jats:title><jats:p>Skin safety is concerned with keeping skin safe from any iatrogenic skin injury, and remains an ongoing challenge for healthcare providers. A conceptual framework that encompasses all of the factors that may contribute to a range of iatrogenic skin injuries is essential, and guides the clinician in maintaining skin integrity in the vulnerable older patient.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jnu.12176","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,18]],"date-time":"2015-11-18T22:04:06Z","timestamp":1447884246000},"page":"14-22","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":38,"title":["The Skin Safety Model: Reconceptualizing Skin Vulnerability in Older Patients"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"48","author":[{"given":"Jill L.","family":"Campbell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"<i>Phi Delta\u2010at\u2010large<\/i>, Doctoral student, School of Nursing, Queensland University of Technology, and Clinical Nurse Skin Integrity Service, Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital  Herston Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fiona M.","family":"Coyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<i>Phi Delta\u2010at\u2010large<\/i>, Professor of Nursing, School of Nursing, Queensland University of Technology Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Metro\u2010North Hospital Health Service  Herston Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sonya R.","family":"Osborne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Nursing, Senior lecturer, Queensland University of Technology, Kelvin Grove; Joint appointment Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Metro\u2010North Hospital Health Service  Herston Queensland Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,11,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","article-title":"International consensus: optimising wellbeing in people living with a wound","author":"Augustin M.","year":"2012","journal-title":"Wounds International"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1475-6773.12244"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","article-title":"Proceedings of the Global IAD Expert Panel.
