The aim of this research is to examine the nurses's knowledge level regarding pressure injury and its staging.
The research was conducted in descriptive type. The data were collected at a hospital in Konya between September 1 and November 30, 2021. The sample of the study consisted of 158 nurses working in internal clinics, surgical clinics and intensive care units. "Sociodemographic Questionnaire Form" and "Modified Pieper Pressure Wound Knowledge Test (PUKT)" were used to collect data. Percentage, frequency, arithmetic mean, independent sample t-test and ANOVA tests were used to analyze the data.
It was found that 77.2% of the nurses had encountered pressure injuries and 63.1%had received training on pressure injuries. It was determined that 55.1% of them received this training as in-service training in the hospital. 96.8% of the nurses stated that pressure injury could be prevented with nursing care. The mean PUKT score of the nurses was 30.70 ± 7.15; staging mean score was 4.79 ± 1.87, wound description mean score was 4.43 ± 1.88; prevention/risk assessment score mean was determined as 20.78 ± 3.93. The average score obtained with the correct response rates to the test was 62.67%. There was no significant difference between nurses' education levels, years of employment and PUKT, wound description, staging and prevention/risk scores (p > .05). There was a significant difference between the mean PUKT score and staging mean score between those who received training on pressure injury and those who didn't, and between the units where the nurses worked and the mean PUKT score, wound description, staging and prevention/risk scores (p < .05).
It was found that the nurses's knowledge level was below satisfactory. It's recommended for nurses to attend trainings on pressure injury, to check the effectiveness of their training, to participate in scientific meetings and to encourage nurses to make research.
本研究旨在调查护士对压疮及其分期的知识水平。
本研究采用描述性研究类型。数据于2021年9月1日至11月30日在科尼亚的一家医院收集。研究样本包括在内科诊所、外科诊所和重症监护病房工作的158名护士。使用“社会人口学问卷表”和“改良的皮珀压疮知识测试（PUKT）”收集数据。采用百分比、频数、算术平均数、独立样本t检验和方差分析进行数据分析。
发现77.2%的护士曾遇到过压疮，63.1%的护士接受过压疮培训。确定其中55.1%的护士是在医院接受在职培训。96.8%的护士表示通过护理可以预防压疮。护士的PUKT平均得分为30.70±7.15；分期平均得分为4.79±1.87，伤口描述平均得分为4.43±1.88；预防/风险评估平均得分确定为20.78±3.93。测试正确回答率的平均得分为62.67%。护士的教育水平、工作年限与PUKT、伤口描述、分期及预防/风险得分之间无显著差异（p>0.05）。接受压疮培训的护士与未接受培训的护士之间，以及护士工作的科室与PUKT平均得分、伤口描述、分期及预防/风险得分之间存在显著差异（p<0.05）。
发现护士的知识水平不尽人意。建议护士参加压疮培训，检查培训效果，参加科学会议，并鼓励护士开展研究。
