Özet
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Stop Pediatric Pressure Injury (SPPI) Short Intervention training sessions given to pediatric intensive care nurses on their level of knowledge and on pediatric pressure injuries. Method: The study, conducted with a randomized controlled trial design, included 55 pediatric intensive care nurses (experimental group = 27, control group = 28). The nurses in the experimental group received the SPPI Short Intervention training. Data were collected using the Nurse Data Collection Form, the SPPI Short Intervention Evaluation Form, and the Pediatric Pressure Injury Assessment Form. The data obtained were evaluated using chi-squared test, the dependent and independent samples t-test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the two-way repeated measures ANOVA. Results: The SPPI Short Intervention training led to a significant increase in the pediatric pressure injury knowledge levels of the experimental group (p < .01). In patients cared for by the experimental group, the prevalence of injuries decreased by 50 %, and the number of severe injury stages also decreased. The Braden Q and PUSH scores of the patients cared for by both the experimental and control groups decreased significantly (p < .05). Conclusion: The SPPI Short Intervention training was found to be effective in increasing the level of pediatric intensive care unit nurses' knowledge of pediatric pressure injury. Providing pediatric nurses with training that includes the stop pediatric pressure injury training is recommended as an effective approach to prevent and manage pediatric pressure injury. Practical implications: Pediatric intensive care unit nurses should be trained to become competent in dealing with pediatric pressure injury.
