Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the care package (CP) developed to prevent pressure injury (PI) in patients in intensive care and to evaluate the effect of the training given to nurses on their knowledge levels and attitudes.
Detailed Description
This experimental study was carried out in the anesthesia and reanimation intensive care unit of Düzce Atatürk State Hospital. The part with patients was completed with a total of 72 patients, 36 in the control group and 36 in the application group. The occurrence rate of PI was compared between the control group and the application group. In the section about nurses, no sample was selected and all 50 nurses working in intensive care were included in the study. Nurses' knowledge and attitudes about PI before and after the training were compared. Data were analyzed using a statistical program.
