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.

Other interventionOperating room nurses recruited from multiple centers who are assessed for their knowledge of medical device-related pressure injuries and clinical decision-making skills using standardized tools.
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.
Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury Knowledge Score
Knowledge levels will be measured using a 25-item medical device-related pressure injury knowledge scale. Each correct answer is scored as 1, and incorrect or "I don't know" responses are scored as 0. Total scores range from 0 to 25, with higher scores indicating higher knowledge levels.
