Impact of Video-Based Pressure Injury Training on Caregivers' Knowledge, Attitudes, Behaviors & Reactions

It is known that caregivers of patients at high risk of developing pressure injury (PBI) have important responsibilities and education to be given to caregivers is necessary for the prevention of PBI. This study was planned to determine the effect of video-assisted training to be given to caregivers of patients at high risk of developing BP on caregivers' knowledge level, attitudes, behaviors and reactions towards caregiving. The research will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study in Gaziantep City Hospital inpatient units between 15.09.2023-15.09.2025. A total of 270 patients will be included in the study, with 90 patients assigned to each of the video training group, standard training group and control group. Criterion sampling method will be used to assign the participants to the experimental and control groups, and those with medium and high Braden Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale scores will be determined and randomly assigned to the groups. Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, Braden Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale, Family Caregivers' Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Assessment Tool for Pressure Injury Prevention and Caregiver Reaction Assessment Scale will be used for data collection. Data will be collected by face-to-face interviews in inpatient units after randomization. Participants in the video training group will be shown training videos on prevention of SCI, while the standard training group will receive a verbal training and the control group will follow routine clinical protocols. They will be asked to watch the video trainings at least three times in any time and environment they want for four weeks and their weekly feedback will be collected. Final measurements of all participants will be made at the end of the fourth week. In the statistical analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, t test, ANOVA, ANCOVA, Mann Withney U, Kruskall Wallis H test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test will be used according to normal distrib
