Summary

Pressure ulcers are a significant health problem commonly seen in home care patients who are bedridden or have limited mobility, negatively affecting their quality of life. The knowledge and skills of caregivers play a crucial role in preventing these ulcers.

This study aims to examine whether training provided to caregivers of patients receiving home care reduces the risk of pressure ulcer formation. As part of the study, caregivers will receive training on pressure ulcer risk factors, skin care, repositioning, pressure protection methods, and appropriate care practices.

The pressure ulcer risk levels of patients will be assessed before and after the training, and the effect of the training will be compared. The results are expected to contribute to the development of caregiver training in home care services and the prevention of pressure ulcers.
