To determine nurses' knowledge levels and attitudes regarding pressure injury (PI) in Turkey and to reveal the relationship between these two variables.
This study was conducted with 604 nurses to obtain 98% power based on the G*Power analysis. The authors used the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool (PUKAT) 2.0 and Attitude toward Pressure Ulcer Prevention (APuP) instrument for data collection. Regression, correlation analysis, independent-sample t test, and analysis of variance were used in data analysis.
Nurses' mean total PUKAT 2.0 score was 9.40 ± 2.47 (46.72% correct). Nurses' mean total score on the APuP instrument was 32.39 ± 2.752. The total knowledge score and total attitude score were positively correlated (ρ = 0.761; P = .007). According to the results of linear regression analysis, the demographic variables of sex, education, seniority, and unit significantly predicted PUKAT 2.0 scores and APuP scores.
Nurses' knowledge of PI prevention was insufficient, and their attitudes were average. A significant and positive relationship was identified between nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding PI.
在土耳其确定护士对压力性损伤（PI）的知识水平和态度，并揭示这两个变量之间的关系。
本研究共纳入 604 名护士，基于 G*Power 分析得出 98%的效能。作者使用了压力性溃疡知识评估工具（PUKAT）2.0 和压力性溃疡预防态度量表（APuP）进行数据收集。数据分析采用了回归、相关分析、独立样本 t 检验和方差分析。
护士的 PUKAT 2.0 总分平均为 9.40±2.47（正确回答的比例为 46.72%）。护士的 APuP 总分平均为 32.39±2.752。总知识得分与总态度得分呈正相关（ρ=0.761；P=0.007）。线性回归分析结果显示，性别、教育程度、工作年限和工作单位等人口统计学变量显著预测了 PUKAT 2.0 得分和 APuP 得分。
护士对 PI 预防的知识不足，态度一般。护士对 PI 的知识和态度之间存在显著且积极的关系。
