Özet

BACKGROUND: The knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of intensive care nurses concerning the prevention of pressure injury (PI) may be positively affected by education. PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of web-based training given to nurses on their knowledge of, attitudes about, and behaviors in the prevention of PI. METHODS: This study was conducted between May 2019 and December 2019 with a pre-test and post-test design. The study sample consisted of 22 nurses and 80 patients. A link to the educational video prepared for the prevention of PIs was sent to the nurses’ mobile phones. RESULTS: The training had a significant positive effect on nurses’ level of knowledge of and attitudes toward PI prevention (P <.001 and P =.042, respectively). In group 1, comprising 40 patients who received treatment before nurses’ training, 2.5% of patients had stage 1 PI on day 1 and 7.5% had stage 1 PI on day 7, and 2.5% had stage 4 PI on day 7. In group 2, comprising 40 patients who received treatment after nurses’ training, 2.5% of patients had stage 1 PI on day 1 and 2.5% had stage 1 PI on day 7. CONCLUSION: Nurses’ knowledge of and attitudes and behaviors toward PI prevention were improved following the web-based training, and the stage and rate of PI were lower in patients who received care after nurses received the training.
