Summary

Medical Device-Related Pressure Injury (MDRPI) is a localized skin and/or subcutaneous tissue injury that occurs due to the pressure exerted by devices used for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, taking the form of the medical device used. Medical device-related pressure injuries are an important adverse event with a high incidence and prevalence both in our country and in the world, accounting for more than 30% of hospital-related injuries. Medical device-related pressure injury significantly affects the quality of life of patients, but also negatively affects the cost of care for both the patient and providers. Although the most important task in preventing medical device-related pressure injuries falls on nurses, it is quite noticeable that nurses' knowledge levels of MDRPI are low in the studies conducted. MDRPI is an important issue that is ignored in nursing education and work areas in our country. In order to prevent pressure injuries associated with medical devices, it is necessary to invest more in early detection of MDRPI and improving the quality of care, studies including MDRPI risk assessment and reporting strategies are needed. In the project to be carried out in this context, it is aimed to evaluate the impact of training applied to nurses to prevent MDRPI.
