Brief Summary

This multicenter, scenario-based cross-sectional study aims to examine the effect of operating room nurses' knowledge of medical device-related pressure injuries on their clinical decision-making skills. The study will be conducted with approximately 165 operating room nurses working in three different hospitals in Gaziantep, Türkiye. Data will be collected using a descriptive information form, a validated medical device-related pressure injury knowledge scale, and a scenario-based clinical decision-making assessment form. The study will evaluate the relationship between nurses' knowledge levels and their clinical decision-making performance, as well as identify factors influencing these outcomes. The findings are expected to contribute to improving patient safety, enhancing nursing education, and supporting evidence-based clinical decision-making in perioperative care.

Conditions

Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries; Clinical Decision-Making

Keywords

Medical Device-Related Pressure Injurie; Operating Room Nurses; Clinical Decision-Making; Pressure Injury Prevention

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Clinical Decision-Making Skills Score

  Clinical decision-making skills will be assessed using a scenario-based clinical decision-making form consisting of 15 scenarios. Each correct response is scored as 1 and incorrect responses as 0. Total scores range from 0 to 15, with higher scores indicating better clinical decision-making skills.

  Baseline (single assessment)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury Knowledge Score
