About this trial

Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury (MDRPI) is a localized skin and/or subcutaneous tissue injury that occurs due to the pressure exerted by devices used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, taking the form of the medical device used. Medical device-related pressure injuries are an important adverse event with a high incidence and prevalence both in our country and in the world, accounting for more than 30% of hospital-related injuries. Medical device-related pressure injury significantly affects the quality of life of patients, but also negatively affects the cost of care for both the patient and providers. Although the most important task in preventing medical device-related pressure injuries falls on nurses, it is quite noticeable that nurses' knowledge levels of MDRPI are low in the studies conducted. MDRPI is an important issue that is ignored in nursing education and work areas in our country. In order to prevent pressure injuries associated with medical devices, it is necessary to invest more in early detection of MDRPI and improving the quality of care, studies including MDRPI risk assessment and reporting strategies are needed. In the project to be carried out in this context, it is aimed to evaluate the impact of training applied to nurses to prevent MDRPI.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The Incidence of Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury

The incidence of patients hospitalized in intensive care will be determined first in the study. For this purpose, patients will be observed at the same time every day during their stay in intensive care. The researcher will fill out the "MDRPI Daily Follow-up Form" for each patient who meets the inclusion criteria during hospitalization. This form has been created by the researchers in accordance with the literature information. 10 Expert opinions will be submitted before the study is carried out.

Time frame

The Incidence of Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury

The incidence of patients hospitalized in intensive care will be determined first in the study. For this purpose, patients will be observed at the same time every day during their stay in intensive care. If the resulting injury develops, the "Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury Registration Form" will be used and patient monitoring will be continued for wound monitoring and other injuries. Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury Registration Form: It has been created by the researchers in accordance with the literature information. 10 Expert opinions will be submitted before the study is carried out.

Time frame
Three months before the training was conducted

Nurse's Knowledge About Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury

Pre-test application will be made with the "MDRPI Knowledge Scale" to determine the level of knowledge and attitude of nurses related to medical device pressure injury before training. Medical Device-related Pressure Injury Information Scale: The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) fit indices of the scale consisting of five sub-dimensions with Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) were determined as x2= 1.84; RMSEA= 0.05; CFI= 0.91; GFI= 0.92; AGFI= 0.90; RFI= 0.89. In addition, the total Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was found to be 0.798 and the test-retest score was 0.94. The lowest score that can be taken from the scale is 0 and the highest score is 25. The increase in the score indicates that the level of knowledge of TCIBY of nurses has increased.

Time frame
within three months prior to the implementation of training

Nurse's Attitude About Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury

Pre-test application will be made with "The Attidute Towards Medical Device Related Pressure Injuries" to determine the level of attitude of nurses related to medical device pressure injury before training. Preventing Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury: The Scope Validity Index of the questionnaire was found to be 98.03%, the Cronbach α value was 0.92 and the test-retest score was 0.874. The lowest score that can be obtained is 11, the highest score is 55, and the high score indicates a positive attitude towards the care and prevention of pressure injuries associated with a medical vehicle. 11 to 25 points, indicates a negative attitude towards the care and prevention of medical vehicle-related pressure injuries, a neutral attitude of 26 to 40 points, and a positive attitude of 41 to 55 points.

Time frame
within three months prior to the implementation of training

Secondary outcomes

1

Decrease in the Incidence of Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury

In order to determine the effectiveness of the training applied to nurses, the MDRPI incidence of the patients will be determined after the training and compared with the first trimester incidence. For this purpose, patients will be observed at the same time every day during their stay in intensive care. If the resulting injury develops, the "Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury Registration Form" will be used and patient monitoring will be continued for wound monitoring and other injuries. Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury Registration Form: It has been created by the researchers in accordance with the literature information. 10 Expert opinions will be submitted before the study is carried out.

Nurse's Knowledge About Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury

In the second and thirteenth weeks after the training, nurses will be applied with the "MDRPI Knowledge Scale" to determine the level of knowledge of medical device-related pressure injury. Medical Device-related Pressure Injury Information Scale: The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) fit indices of the scale consisting of five sub-dimensions with Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) were determined as x2= 1.84; RMSEA= 0.05; CFI= 0.91; GFI= 0.92; AGFI= 0.90; RFI= 0.89.
