Pressure Injury Prevention Training Delivered With a Blended Learning Model Learning Approach on Care Behaviors of Intensive Care Nurses

By saving life or delaying death, the length of stay of the patient in the intensive care unit is prolonged, and this leads to the emergence of other problems in addition to the disease in the patient. Pressure injuries are one of these problems. Although many internationally accepted pressure injury prevention guidelines are available, it is frequently reported that there is no significant reduction in pressure injury prevalence. It has been emphasized in the literature that nurses do not have enough knowledge about the prevention of pressure injury. "Blended Learning", in which technologies such as web-based, e-learning and m-learning are used together with face-to-face education, is an effective approach in realizing learning outcomes. This approach facilitates the achievement of the educational program's objectives by integrating the positive aspects of web-assisted learning and face-to-face learning. In the light of these explanations, it is aimed to examine the effect of pressure injury prevention training given with the blended learning approach on the care behaviors of intensive care nurses.
