What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating whether an interactive online e-book can help home care nurses improve their knowledge, confidence, and skills in managing pressure injuries at home. The study also looks at whether digital learning can overcome challenges found in traditional nurse training methods. It compares this e-book to standard PDF training materials provided by the Ministry of Health and Welfare to find out which educational approach is more effective for nursing care of pressure injuries. Participants are divided into two groups: one group uses the interactive e-book with 11 learning units on wound care for one month, while the other group uses standard PDF educational materials from the Ministry's Long-term Care section for the same period. Both groups complete surveys about their knowledge and skills before starting, immediately after finishing the program, and again one month later. During the study, participants will be assessed using several tools, including the Pressure Injury Knowledge Assessment Score (PUKAT 2.0), Perceived Barriers to Wound Care (WCBS), and Pressure Ulcer Management Self-Efficacy (PUM-SES). These assessments take place at baseline, immediately post-intervention, and one month after finishing. The study aims to improve nursing competence in wound care and support policies for better long-term care, with participation lasting about two months total.
