Summary

Pressure injuries remain an important patient safety problem and are associated with prolonged hospitalization, increased healthcare costs, pain, and reduced quality of care. Nurses play a key role in the prevention of pressure injuries through risk assessment, skin care, positioning, nutritional management, and evidence-based preventive interventions.

The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate the psychometric properties of the Nursing Competency Scale in Pressure Injury Prevention. The scale is intended to assess nurses' competencies regarding pressure injury prevention in line with updated international guidelines. The study will be conducted with nurses working in a training and research hospital in Türkiye.

The scale development process will include item generation, expert evaluation for content validity, pilot testing, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, criterion validity, internal consistency analysis, and test-retest reliability assessment.
