Summary

This research is a randomised controlled study conducted to evaluate the effects of training given to wheelchair users to prevent pressure injury on their level of knowledge, prevention of pressure injury and wound healing.

This study will test the following hypotheses among trained and untrained wheelchair users:

Hypothesis 1: Pressure injury education provided to wheelchair users has an impact on pressure injury prevention knowledge.

Hypothesis 2: Pressure injury education provided to wheelchair users has an impact on pressure injury prevention interventions.

Hypothesis 3: Pressure injury education provided to wheelchair users has an impact on pressure injury prevention.

Hypothesis 4: Pressure injury education provided to wheelchair users has an impact on pressure injury recovery.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

education

To provide interactive training sessions to the intervention group, four training groups were formed, each consisting of 9-10 people. Each training session, comprising three sessions, was completed over two weeks on the Zoom platform. Each 60-minute session included information on the definition, etiology, influencing factors, and prevention and care practices for cognitive impairment. Following the completion of the training sessions, individuals in the intervention group were followed up and provided with counseling for 12 weeks.
