Summary

Background and importance: In 2003, a pressure injury is listed as one of the indicators of care quality in clinical setting by Taiwan joint commission on hospital accreditation. That reflects that a pressure injury is a significant heath care issue. Nowadays, it still constantly happens at hospitals, home, and nursing homes: Pressure injuries cause pain, and increase length of hospital stay, rehospitalization rate, and death rate. In current clinical practice, standardized guidelines and basic principles are followed for pressure injury management, and it is found that most of the caregivers are unsure about what are the consequences of having pressure injuries and how to manage and prevent them. Therefore, the caregivers are more passive, and feel nervous and confused. In literature, there are guidelines for pressure injury prevention and management. However, they are primarily designed for heath professionals. As a result, to achieve evidence-based practice and knowledge translation, I hope to make individual management plans for each patient, provide caring support, and follow up with patients. And caregivers can benefit from knowledge, attitude, practice, and caring effect.

Detailed description

Goals: The study aims to achieve knowledge translation in nursing for pressure injury care. The caregivers of patients with pressure injuries and their family can benefit from translating of knowledge, attitude, and practice, and they can have more knowledge related to pressure injuries, and learn how to react to and care for patients. In this way, it will be possible to promote wound healing and prevent recurrence of pressure injuries. Method: This study is a randomized controlled trial. There are seventy participants. The experimental group receives care plans in which knowledge translation is applied, and the control group receives usual care. Generalized estimating equations, GEE, is used to assess the effectiveness of care plans with knowledge translation for patients and family with pressure injuries.
