Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled study, which includes pre-test and post-test, is to examine the perineum care education given to caregivers of patients with incontinence and being treated in a palliative care clinic. The basic question it aims to answer is: Does the perineum care training given to the relatives of patients treated in the palliative care clinic have an effect on the level of knowledge about perineum care? Participants will participate in a training activity on perineum care. Researchers will compare whether perineum care training given to relatives of palliative care patients is effective compared to the routine service operation, by using lecture, question-answer and presentation method.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Palliative care patient relatives' perineum care information: First test

  "Perineum Care Knowledge Test" is a test prepared by researchers in line with the literature and sent to an expert academician to ensure content validity. The Perineum Care Knowledge Test is a 3-likert-type questionnaire consisting of a total of 15 questions coded as true, false, I don't know. The minimum score to be obtained from the test is 0 and the maximum score is 15. A high score at the end of the evaluation indicates that the relatives of the patients have a high level of knowledge about perineal care, while a low score indicates a low level of knowledge.
