Brief Summary

Background: Knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding the prevention and care of incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD) need to be enhanced through educational training. There is a lack of innovative courses and convenient tools to assist nursing staff in learning and teaching in clinical settings. Purpose: This study aims to investigate the learning outcomes of nursing staff in adult wards regarding the prevention and care of IAD, comparing the effectiveness of a course combined with an Directive Wheel Chart versus a course alone. Additionally, the study examines the effectiveness of nursing staff applying the course and Directive Wheel Chart in peer teaching.

Other: Experimental group; Other: Control Group

Control Group

OTHER

The first author conducted a 25-minute knowledge lecture for the nurses in the CG on the same topics covered in the EG. This lecture included an explanation of IAD, its causes, the latest global classification of IAD, as well as methods for skin prevention and IAD care. Following the lecture, the same three clinical examples presented in the EG were discussed for an additional 20 minutes, during which the nurses were divided into groups for case discussions. Finally, a 5-minute quiz competition was held, featuring the same five actual clinical photographs used in the EG.

Interventions

Experimental group OTHER

Initially, the first author presented a 25-minute lecture with a PowerPoint presentation to the nurses of the EG. Following this, each nurse received an IAD directive wheel chart. In the subsequent 25 minutes, the first author presented three clinical cases examples and relevant information, encouraging the nurses to utilize the IAD directive wheel chart in groups. To conclude the session, a 5-minute quiz was conducted, featuring five actual clinical photographs. After the course, the nurses were instructed to take the IAD directive wheel chart back to their clinics for review and use in health education and teaching.
