Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This study aims to examine whether training provided to caregivers of patients receiving home care reduces the risk of pressure ulcer formation. As part of the study, caregivers will receive training on pressure ulcer risk factors, skin care, repositioning, pressure protection methods, and appropriate care practices.
The pressure ulcer risk levels of patients will be assessed before and after the training, and the effect of the training will be compared. The results are expected to contribute to the development of caregiver training in home care services and the prevention of pressure ulcers.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
This study was designed to evaluate the effect of training provided to caregivers of patients receiving home care services on the risk of pressure ulcer development in patients. Patients receiving home care services who are at risk of pressure ulcers and the individuals providing care to these patients will be included in the study.
The training program for caregivers will cover pressure ulcer risk factors, skin assessment, repositioning frequency, pressure-reducing practices, hygiene, and basic skin care. The training will be delivered using structured training materials.
Within the scope of the study, the risk of pressure ulcers in patients will be measured using an appropriate risk assessment scale before and after the training. The findings aim to reveal the role of caregiver training in the prevention of pressure ulcers in home care services.

Caregiver Training Intervention
In this section, a structured training program aimed at preventing pressure ulcers will be implemented for individuals providing care to patients receiving home care services. The training program covers pressure ulcer risk factors, skin assessment, repositioning techniques, care approaches to reduce pressure, and basic skin care. The training aims to improve caregivers' knowledge and care practices.
