ADDIE-Based Training Program for Nurses on Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries

Medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPIs) are a significant and increasing problem in clinical settings, particularly in intensive care units, adversely affecting patient outcomes and increasing healthcare costs. Nurses play a critical role in the prevention and management of MDRPIs; however, previous studies have shown that their knowledge and practices in this area are often insufficient. This study aims to develop an ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model-based training program for nurses and to evaluate its effect on their knowledge and care practices related to MDRPIs. The study is designed as a single-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental study and will be conducted with nurses working in intensive care units. Data will be collected at three time points: before the training (pretest), immediately after the training (posttest), and one month after the training (follow-up). The training program will be delivered face-to-face using structured educational materials. Outcomes will include changes in nurses' knowledge levels and their evaluations of the training program. The findings are expected to contribute to improving nursing care practices and enhancing patient safety by supporting effective prevention and management of MDRPIs.
