Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Pressure injuries develop due to decreased movement, especially in bedridden individuals receiving home care. In Turkey, the management of pressure injuries is carried out by nurses in acute and long-term care settings, and mostly by caregivers for individuals receiving home care. Studies have shown that individuals providing home care have a significant need for training. Today, digital health technologies are used to facilitate access to healthcare professionals and provide workload and cost efficiency. Telehealth services in these technologies can be provided via telephone or mobile applications. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the effect of nursing services provided via mobile applications on the management of pressure injuries in individuals receiving home care. The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental type. In the power analysis conducted to calculate the sample size, the sample size was determined as 56, and considering that there may be data losses, 60 people will be included in the study. The "Structured Information Form, Pressure Injury Information Form for Caregivers, Pressure Injury Skill Checklist for Caregivers, and Pressure Injury Follow-up Form" will be used as data collection tools in the study. In this study, it is thought that the nurse's remote monitoring of individuals receiving home care with a mobile application in the management of pressure injuries will contribute to patient safety and care costs.

Intervention Type OTHER

In this study, individuals will be monitored for 28 days. They will be asked to fill out the Pressure Injury Information Form and the Pressure Injury Skills Checklist for Caregivers to be informed about pressures throughout the study process. The researcher will fill out the Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool to ensure that their pressures are improving. Individuals who will undergo the intervention will use the mobile application. Face-to-face training will be provided to individuals. Individual-specific audio reminders will be based on daily living activities and will be delivered via the mobile application according to changes in individual dependencies. After 30 days, individuals will be asked to fill out the Mobile Health Application Acceptance Scale, the Pressure Injury Knowledge Scale for Caregivers, and the Pressure Injury Skills Checklist. The Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool will be filled out by the researcher.

Intervention Type OTHER

In this study, individuals will be monitored for 28 days. In order to monitor their knowledge about pressure injuries, individuals will be asked to complete the Pressure Injury Information Form for Caregivers and the Pressure Injury Skills Checklist to monitor their skill levels about pressure injuries throughout the study period. The Bates-Jensen Wound Assessment Tool will be completed by the researcher to perform a physical examination of the patient and to assess the healing of the individual's pressure injury. Individuals in the control group will be interviewed twice by phone. Individuals with pressure injuries will be trained by a team consisting of a physician, nurse, dietician, and physiotherapist. Individuals will be interviewed twice by phone. After 30 days, individuals will be asked to complete the Mobile Health Application Acceptance Scale, the Pressure Injury Knowledge Scale for Caregivers, and the Pressure Injury Skills Checklist.
