Clinical Trial Summary
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.
Description:
The research was planned in a mixed design with a qualitative dimension in terms of
determining the experimental and training needs, using the focus group interview method in
the evaluation of the program, with the aim of examining the effect of pressure injury
prevention training given with the blended learning approach on the care behaviors of
intensive care nurses.The universe of the study consists of a total of 100 nurses working in
the 3rd Level intensive care units of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa Cerrahpaşa Faculty of
Medicine. The sample size of the study was calculated by using power analysis. Since the
differences between the experimental and control groups before and after the experiment were
examined comparatively in the research, ANOVA will be made for mixed measurements.
Accordingly, the sample size was calculated by keeping the effect size (Cohen's f) 0.25, that
is, at a medium level, based on the expected averages and standard deviations of the groups.
G*Power 3.1.9.4 software (Faul, Erdfelder, Lang & Buchner, 2007) was used for the
calculation. In order to make a decision with 95% confidence for Type I, the expected power
of α error was 0.05 and for Type II error 1-β expected power was 0.80. When the number of
groups was entered as 2 (experiment, control), the number of measurements was 2 (pretest,
posttest), the expected correlation between repeated measurements was 0.5, and the ε
correction was 1, the expected total sample size for this study was calculated as 34 people.
Accordingly, there will be a total of 44 people in the research, 17 people in the
experimental and control groups, taking into account the possibility of data loss. In order
to prevent interaction between the groups in the formation of the experimental and control
groups, it will be randomly assigned by paying attention to the fact that the experimental
group is from one unit and the control group is from the other unit. Homogenization will be
achieved between the groups in terms of having an intensive care nursing certificate, age,
years of experience, years of working in intensive care, and Knowledge Evaluation Scale score
in Preventing Pressure Ulcers. It will be collected by the researcher and the nurse in charge
of the unit by using the Nurse Information Form, the Information Evaluation Scale in Pressure
Ulcer Prevention, the Pressure Injury Prevention Efficiency Evaluation Form, the Training
Program Evaluation Form, the Semi-Structured Interview Form before the Training Program, and
the Semi-Structured Interview Form after the Training Program.
