About this study
Official title: Effectiveness of Pressure Wound Prevention Training for the Relatives of Palliative Care Patients: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial, which included pretest and posttest, was to examine the effectiveness of pressure ulcer prevention and care education given to caregivers of patients treated in a palliative care clinic.
The key questions it aims to answer are:
Read more
- Does the routine clinical training given in the palliative care clinic have an effect on the knowledge level of patients' relatives about pressure ulcers?
- Does the pressure ulcer education given to the relatives of patients treated in the palliative care clinic have an effect on the level of knowledge about pressure ulcers?
Participants will participate in an educational activity on pressure ulcers. Researchers will compare whether pressure ulcer training given to palliative care patient relatives is effective compared to routine service training with lecture, question-answer and presentation method.
Read the detailed description
One-to-one interviews will be conducted with the relatives of the patients in the experimental and control groups, and the appropriate time frame for the clinical operation will be determined. Participants will be informed about the study at the time determined jointly with the companions and at the appropriate place for the clinic.
Personal Information Form and Pressure Ulcer Information Test will be distributed and collected as a pre-test to the participants in the control group. The participants in the control group will not receive any educational intervention by the researcher until the day of discharge. This group will receive routine clinical training given only in the hospital. Training of patients and their relatives in clinics continues with the principle of "Do-Watch-Check". This is how nurses conduct their routine clinical training. The Pressure Ulcer Information Test will be distributed and collected as a post-test to the control group on the day of the patients' discharge.
Personal Information Form and Pressure Ulcer Information Test will be distributed and collected as a pre-test to the participants in the experimental group. In addition to the training given to the participants in the experimental group with the routine "Do-Watch-Check" principle in the clinic, face-to-face pressure ulcer training will be given by the researchers on the day of discharge. The presentation about the pressure ulcer will be given by the researchers in two periods of 30 min + 30 minutes using lectures, case studies and question-answer techniques. Opinions were received from three field experts regarding the validity of the training content of the pressure ulcer topic (CGI: 1.00). The Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test will be redistributed and collected as a final test on the day of discharge after completion of training.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pressure ulcer information of palliative care patients' relatives: First test
"Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test" is a test prepared by researchers in line with the literature and sent to three expert academicians to ensure content validity. Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test is a 3-point Likert-type questionnaire consisting of 17 questions coded as true, false, I don't know. Five of the questions in the test were designed to be scored reversely and 12 of them were scored straight. The score to be taken from the test is between 0-17. A high score indicates that the relatives of the patients have a high level of knowledge about pressure ulcers, and a low score indicates a low level of knowledge.
Measured: Just before training
Secondary outcomes (1)
Pressure ulcer information of palliative care patients' relatives: Second test
"Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test" is a test prepared by researchers in line with the literature and sent to three expert academicians to ensure content validity.

Five of the questions in the test were designed to be scored reversely and 12 of them were scored straight. The score to be taken from the test is between 0-17. A high score indicates that the relatives of the patients have a high level of knowledge about pressure ulcers, and a low score indicates a low level of knowledge.
Measured: Immediately after training
