    ABS T R A C T Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the current knowledge levels of intensive care nurses about pressure injuries and their attitudes toward preventing pressure injuries, and to reveal the relationship between these variables. Materials and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 152 nurses, working in the Adult Intensive Care Units of a Training and Research Hospital. Data were collected between 10.08.2021 and 31.11.2021 with the Patient Information Form, Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test and Attitude toward Pressure Injury Prevention Scale. Frequency analysis, descriptive statistics, multiple logistic regression analysis and the structural equation modeling technique were used in the analysis of the study data. Results: The mean age of the nurses was 25.82 & PLUSMN; 3.42 years, 86.2% of them were female and 67.1% of them had a bachelor's degree. Total mean score of the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test of the intensive care nurses was found to be 32.58 & PLUSMN; 6.58. The knowledge score of 113 out of 152 nurses was & GE;60% or above. The total mean score of the Attitude toward Pressure Injury Prevention Scale was 42.00 & PLUSMN; 5.70 and a total of 76.97% (117 participants) of them were found to score 75% or above on the scale. The results of the regression analysis showed that educational degree, and status of having training about pressure injuries did not affect the total mean score of the Knowledge Test and the Attitude Scale. However, it revealed that the frequency of encoun-tering a patient with pressure injuries in the unit where they work has affected the total mean score of the scales significantly (p < 0.05). As per the results of the structural equation model, the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test scores of the nurses were found to have a statistically significant effect on the scores of the Attitude toward Pressure Injury Prevention Scale (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study revealed that intensive care unit nurses had a positive attitude toward Pressure Injury Prevention and their knowledge was sufficient and that as the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test scores increase, their positive attitude toward Pressure Injury Prevention also increases.

    İnkontinans İlişkili Dermatit Yönetiminde Hemşirelerin Bilgi, Tutum ve Uygulamalarını Değerlendirme Ölçeği: Türkçe Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması
    (2022) Sönmez, Münevver; Korkmaz, Serap; Kısacık, Öznur Gürlek; Nursing
    Amaç: Çalışma, İnkontinans İlişkili Dermatit Yönetiminde Hemşirelerin Bilgi, Tutum ve Uygulamalarını Değerlendirme Ölçeği Türkçe formunun geçerlik ve güvenirliğini incelemek amacı ile gerçekleştirildi. Gereç ve Yöntem: Metodolojik araştırma tipinde planlanan çalışmanın örneklemini 272 yoğun bakım ve palyatif bakım hemşiresi oluşturdu. Ölçeğin dil eşdeğerliği için çeviri-geri çeviri tekniği kullanıldı. Ölçeğin geçerlik çalışması için, uzman görüşlerine dayalı kapsam geçerliği hesaplandı. Yapı geçerliği için açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi kullanıldı. Ölçeğin güvenirlik analizinde test-tekrar test, korelasyon, madde toplam puan korelasyon ve Cronbach’s alpha katsayısı kullanıldı. Bulgular: Ölçeğin Türkçe formunun kapsam geçerliği uygundu (KGİ=0.95). Ölçek toplam Cronbach’s alpha katsayısı 0.92, madde toplam puan korelasyonları 0.33 ile 0.72 arasında bulundu. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizinde ölçeğin toplam varyansın %63.55’sini açıklayan dört faktörden oluştuğu doğrulandı. Yapı geçerliği, 0.62-0.83 faktör yükü aralığı ile desteklendi. Ölçeğin 20 madde ve 4 alt boyuttan oluştuğu belirlendi. Sonuç: İnkontinans İlişkili Dermatit Yönetiminde Hemşirelerin Bilgi, Tutum ve Uygulamalarını Değerlendirme Ölçeği’nin Türk toplumuna uyarlanması için yapılan analizlerden elde edilen bulgular, ölçeğin Türkçe formunun, hemşirelerin inkontinans ilişkili dermatit hakkındaki bilgi, tutum ve uygulamalarının incelenmesinde dört boyutlu bir araç olarak, güvenilir ve geçerli olduğunu gösterdi.

    Turkish Nurses' Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices in the Management of Incontinence Associated Dermatitis: a Descriptive and Cross-Sectional Study
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Sonmez, Munevver; Kisacik, Oznur Gurlek; Korkmaz, Serap; Nursing
    Objective: This study aimed to determine nurses' current knowledge, attitudes, and practices in adult intensive care units and palliative care clinics regarding incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD). Materials and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 355 nurses in adult intensive care and palliative services at two hospitals. Data were collected between 5.03.2022 and 15.06.2022 using the" Nurse Demographic Form" and the "Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Nurses in Managing Incontinence- Associated Dermatitis Questionnaire". Results: The nurses' mean scores for "Knowledge of IAD Etiology and Diagnosis" were 19.11 (SD 3.29), mean scores for "Knowledge of IAD Risk Factors" were 23.82 (SD 4.27), mean scores for "Attitude Toward IAD Prevention" were 10.1 (SD 2.49), and mean scores for "Practices for IAD Prevention" were 23.71 (SD 3.97). It was found that nurses who used a risk assessment tool to diagnose IAD (p = 0.001), had a procedure or protocol (p = 0.001), and received training on IAD (p < 0.001) had significantly higher "Attitude Towards Prevention of IAD" scores. There was a positive correlation between the number of patients with IAD cared for by the nurses participating in the study and the scores of "Practices to Prevent IAD"and "Knowledge of IAD Risk Factors", "Knowledge of IAD Etiology and Diagnosis"and "Attitude Towards Preventing IAD"(p < 0.001). Conclusion: This study found that intensive care and palliative care nurses' knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding IAD were insufficient. Considering that IAD is encountered more frequently in these units, it is essential to provide continuous and practical training to nurses about IAD, use risk assessment tools to prevent and treat IAD, determine protocols, establish clinical guidelines, and implement and standardize them.
