Pressure ulcer is a significant healthcare problem throughout the world. Nurse educators should take the responsibility for students' improving knowledge, skills and attitudes regarding prevention of Pressure ulcer and allocate sufficient time to teach them by using various teaching methods. In this study we evaluate effects of education about prevention of pressure ulcer on knowledge and attitudes of nursing students.
This is a quasi-experimental study with a control group and a posttest. The study population comprised of 96 second-year nursing students at a university in Middle Anatolia Region of Turkey. The study sample included 84 second year nursing students, of whom 42 were assigned into an intervention group and 42 were assigned into a control group. The intervention group was offered education for two hours weekly for four weeks. Data collection between April and May in 2019. The statistics program SPSS 22 packaged software was used in the analyses of data.
There was not a significant difference in sociodemographic features between the intervention and control groups. The groups significantly differed in their total scores for attitudes to prevention of pressure ulcer (p < 0.05). The intervention group got a significantly higher mean score for knowledge about prevention of pressure ulcer (63.00 ± 16.71) than the control group (39.35 ± 9.77) (p < 0.05).
The control group had lower scores for knowledge and attitudes about prevention, evaluation and management of pressure ulcer. Educators should revise the content of the national nursing curriculum about pressure ulcer and update their learning material and lectures in accordance with national and international guidelines.
压疮是全世界范围内一个重大的医疗保健问题。护士教育者应承担起提高学生预防压疮知识、技能和态度的责任，并通过使用各种教学方法为他们分配足够的时间进行教学。在本研究中，我们评估了关于预防压疮的教育对护理学生知识和态度的影响。
这是一项具有对照组和后测的准实验研究。研究人群包括土耳其中安纳托利亚地区一所大学的 96 名二年级护理学生。研究样本包括 84 名二年级护理学生，其中 42 名被分配到干预组，42 名被分配到对照组。干预组每周接受两小时的教育，共四周。数据收集于 2019 年 4 月至 5 月进行。数据分析采用 SPSS 22 统计软件包。
干预组和对照组在社会人口统计学特征方面没有显著差异。两组在预防压疮态度的总分上存在显著差异（p<0.05）。干预组在预防压疮知识方面的平均得分（63.00±16.71）显著高于对照组（39.35±9.77）（p<0.05）。
对照组在预防、评估和管理压疮方面的知识和态度得分较低。教育者应修订国家护理课程中关于压疮的内容，并根据国家和国际指南更新他们的学习材料和讲座。
