• 1 other identifier: 1.2023-440
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 55
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The purpose of this observational study is to find out the impact of pressure injury education on the knowledge level of pediatric intensive care nurses and the likelihood of pediatric pressure injury occurrence. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Does pressure injury education increase nurses knowledge level on pediatric pressure injuries?
• Does the rate of pediatric pressure injuries decrease after the education? The researcher will compare nurses working in two separate pediatric intensive care units where similar patients are treated to see if planned education on pressure injuries affects nurses knowledge level and the rate of pediatric pressure injuries.
• Volunteer nurses participating in the study will answer pressure injury survey questions prepared by the researcher.
• Nurses in the intervention group will attend planned education sessions provided by the researcher.
• Two weeks after the completion of the education sessions, all nurses in the intervention and control groups who wish to continue participating in the study will answer the pressure injury survey questions prepared by the researcher again.

• Masking Details: The information about which group (intervention or control) the nurses who volunteered to participate in the study would belong to was provided after the pre-test data were collected. Blinding of the researcher was not performed because the researcher conducted the educational phase of the study. The determination of the study groups was carried out randomly by a person not associated with the study using a random draw method. The statistical analysis of the study data was conducted by someone not related to the study.
