About this study

Official title: Evaluate Knowledge Translation Care Plan on Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Caregivers and Care Effects of Patients With Pressure Injury

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.

Read the 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.

The experimental group has received knowledge translation in nursing for pressure injury care with precaution teaching plan by using self-designed teaching materials, manuals, videoes, multimedia tools (power point, LINE official account, LINE one-on-one lesson, virtual lesson), in-person assistance and assessment in 12weeks.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. wound healing

    PUSH tool. Measure Length x Width, Exudate Amount and Tissue Type in pressure injury.

    Measured: 6 weeks and 12 weeks

  2. caregiver's knowledge

    Using a self-made questionnaire, the informal caregivers' knowledge of pressure injuries, such as: how does a pressure injury form, what are the care methods for a pressure injury, what should be prepared for wound care, methods to prevent a pressure injury, etc.

    Measured: 6 weeks and 12 weeks

  3. caregiver's attitude

    Use the self-made questionnaire to understand the caregivers' attitudes towards pressure injuries, such as whether they have motivation to care for them, whether they think it is important to prevent pressure injuries, whether they are confident that they can take good care of them, etc.

    Measured: 6 weeks and 12 weeks

  4. caregiver's practice

    Using a self-made questionnaire, the caregiver actually evaluates the situation of caring for the crush injury, such as: body positioning, repositioning, nutritional supply status, wound dressing change, wound grading assessment, body cleanliness, whether the protrusion of the bone is paid attention to, reducing Pressure equipment, etc.

    Measured: 6 weeks and 12 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. The recurrence rate of pressure injury three months after intervention

    Patients with reoccurrence of pressure injury/Total number of experimental group or control group*100%

    Measured: 12 weeks

  2. The rehospitalization rate

    Number of patients re-admitted for pressure injuries /Total number of experimental group or control group *100%

    Measured: 12 weeks

  3. The mortality rate

    The number of Patient deaths/Total number of experimental group or control group *100%

    Measured: 12 weeks
