Abstract
AIM To assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Palestinian nursing students towards pressure injury prevention. MATERIALS AND METHODS A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 455 nursing students recruited from Arab American University-Palestine, employing a total population sample. Data collection forms include socio-demographic information, the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool, Attitude towards Pressure Ulcer Prevention Instrument and Pressure Injury Preventive Practices scale. RESULTS The study found that students had a mean knowledge score of 54% (14.04/26), a positive attitude score of 75.8% (39.42/52), and demonstrated a fair level of practice 75.3% (30.12/40). Significant differences were observed in the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice total scores, linked to academic year, clinical experience, and the number of attended departments during clinical training (p < 0.001). Additionally, weak but significant positive relationships were found between practice and attitude scores (r = 0.303, p < 0.001), practice and knowledge score (r = 0.211, p < 0.001), and a moderate positive significant relationship between knowledge and attitude scores (r = 0.567, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION The study revealed insufficient knowledge, positive attitudes, and somewhat unsafe practices among nursing students regarding pressure injury prevention. It highlights the need for specific revisions in the nursing curriculum. Improvements can be achieved through detailed coverage in classrooms and laboratories, integrating simulation methods. Additionally, ensuring that students gain adequate experiences in clinical units, with a specific emphasis on pressure injury prevention, is crucial for improving students' capability and contribute to better pressure injury management.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore intensive care unit (ICU) nurses' perceptions of their adherence to pressure injury prevention clinical practice guideline and identify the perceived barriers and facilitators that influence evidence-based pressure injury prevention practices in Chinese tertiary hospitals. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY/DESIGN This was a multi-site, quantitative, cross-sectional study. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire with three sections: participant demographic information, adherence to pressure injury prevention clinical practice guideline, and barriers to and facilitators of pressure injury prevention clinical practice guideline implementation. SETTING Thirty-three adult ICUs in 16 tertiary general hospitals in 5 major cities in Liaoning Province, China. RESULTS In total, 473 nurses responded to the survey. The mean score for adherence to pressure injury prevention clinical practice guideline was 159.06 ± 20.65, with 65.3 % reporting good adherence. Multiple stepwise regression analysis indicated that smaller ICU size (β = -0.114, p = 0.012) and having participated in training on pressure injury prevention clinical practice guideline (β = 0.149, p = 0.001) were statistically significantly associated with better adherence. ICU nurses identified the low priority given to pressure injury prevention as the top barrier. The top three facilitators were awareness of evidence-based practice, the current documentation format for pressure injury risk/nursing interventions, and leadership support. CONCLUSION ICU nurses' adherence to pressure injury prevention clinical practice guideline was satisfactory, and they reported low-to-moderate barriers and moderate facilitators. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE Participating in training on pressure injury prevention clinical practice guideline was a predictor of ICU nurses' adherence. Therefore, it is highly recommended that healthcare organisations consider providing training to nurses and address the barriers identified to improve nurses' adherence to evidence-based pressure injury prevention guidelines.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressure injuries (PIs) are costly to hospitals and have a negative impact on patient outcomes. Despite the use of validated tools that describe PI risk, such as the Braden Scale, the incidence of PIs remains high. Studies have shown that Braden Scale subscale scores should be considered when planning care; however, there is a discrepancy between understanding the importance of subscale-specific interventions and implementation. The goal of this study was to test the ability of an educational intervention tailored to specific interventions based on the subscales of the Braden Scale to improve knowledge among nurses. METHOD This study was a prospective, quasi-experimental, single-group design where nurses (n = 35) from a neurosurgery stepdown unit in a large teaching hospital completed a preintervention survey (T1), attended an educational presentation, and then completed an immediate postintervention survey (T2) and a 2-month postintervention survey (T3). RESULTS Data analysis compared presurvey scores with postsurvey scores. Nursing comprehension improved from the preintervention survey (T1, M = 5.57) to the postintervention surveys (T2, M = 6.34; T3, M = 6.42) (p = .031). CONCLUSION Nurses showed increased comprehension after the educational intervention from T1 to T3. [J Contin Educ Nurs. 2024;55(1):42-48.].

Abstract
AIM The aim of the study was to explore nurses' barriers to the pressure ulcer risk assessment scales implementation. DESIGN A qualitative descriptive phenomenological study. METHODS The research participants comprised of 10 nurses at various medical and surgical departments in a teaching hospital northeast of Namibia. Data were collected between August and September 2022 through in-depth, semi-structured face-to-face individual interviews and analysed using Colaizzi's 7-step method. RESULTS The interviews with nurses, led to two major themes being discovered: (1) factors hindering the effective prevention of pressure ulcers; (2) suggestions for improvements in the utilization of risk assessment scales. The participants noted that they had inadequate knowledge of the formal risk assessment scales; there were inadequate resources and insufficient staff; there were no policies or guidelines regarding the management of pressure ulcers, all of which influenced their utilization of pressure risk assessment scales. Education and training, the provision of equipment, the hiring of new staff and the formulation of policies/guidelines would thus improve the nurses' utilization of the scales. CONCLUSION The findings of this study have uncovered three primary factors that have a detrimental impact on the utilization of risk assessment scales by nurses, that is their lack knowledge on pressure ulcer risk assessment scales; a shortage of staff and equipment; and an absence of policies/guidelines. The findings from this study provide valuable implications for guiding quality improvement initiatives aimed at enhancing the standard of care in Namibia and other resource-limited settings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically synthesize research evidence on barriers and facilitators to pressure injury prevention in hospital settings. METHODS A systematic literature review of quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research was undertaken using PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library. Studies that reported barriers or/and facilitators to pressure injury prevention in the acute care settings and published in English from 2008 to 2022 were included. Studies were excluded if they were conducted in residential care facilities and nursing homes, or other long-term community care settings. Two authors independently screened articles against the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Quality appraisal was conducted by two authors by using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. Reported results were mapped to the Theoretical Domains Framework to identify the barriers and facilitators to pressure injury prevention. RESULTS A total of 78 studies were included. There were 65 quantitative studies, 11 qualitative studies, and two mix-methods studies. The most salient Theoretical Domains Framework domains identified in this review were "Knowledge", "Skills", "Environmental Context and Resources", "Optimism", "Social/Professional Role and Identity", and "Social influences". CONCLUSION The barriers and facilitators to pressure injury prevention in hospital settings identified in this systematic review were diverse, and included issues at both individual and organizational level. Healthcare organizations can address the barriers and facilitators from the influential Theoretical Domains Framework domains. Future research is required to investigate the effectiveness of behaviour change interventions that specifically target these barriers and facilitators to pressure injury prevention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties, including content validity, validity of multiple choice items, and the reliability of the Korean version of the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool (K-PUKAT 2.0), using classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT). METHOD Linguistic validation process and factor analysis were conducted among wound care nurses, staff nurses and nursing students. Items were analysed according to the CTT and IRT using a two-parameter logistic model. Intraclass correlation coefficients were used to examine reliability. RESULTS A total of 378 wound care nurses, staff nurses and nursing students participated in this study. While most items showed moderate difficulty based on the CTT, difficulty index values based on the IRT were more broadly distributed (low: 5 items; moderate: 9 items; high: 1 item). The intraclass correlation coefficient for K-PUKAT 2.0 was 0.72. CONCLUSION The K-PUKAT 2.0 demonstrated concise and good psychometric properties. Based on the results of this study, repetitive use of K-PUKAT 2.0 will not only help in distinguishing whether an individual has sufficient clinical knowledge, but will also play a key role in supporting learning.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of pressure ulcers is an indicator of quality in intensive care units. Due to their frequency and severity, they are identified as a problem of great importance, where the well-being of patients and relatives is compromised, also generating a high healthcare cost. Nurses are primarily responsible for the care of pressure ulcers, however, the existing literature exposes a clear lack of knowledge regarding its prevention and treatment. OBJECTIVES To explore the attitudes, knowledge and perceived barriers by intensive care nurses regarding pressure ulcers treatment and prevention in a critical care setting. DESIGN A descriptive qualitative study has been carried out through semi-structured interviews with 22 intensive care nurses from two tertiary university hospitals in Spain. The consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research (COREQ) guidelines were used to reinforce the methodological approach of the study. FINDINGS From the collected data, 4 main themes emerged: "lack of specific knowledge about pressure ulcers in intensive care", "continuity of care: the main problem to solve", "teamwork and pressure ulcers: gasping for improvement" and "Skin care as another vital sign". CONCLUSION Most intensive care nurses consider that they do not have sufficient knowledge regarding pressure ulcers. The nurses' attitudes are positive, however, an ineffective transmission of information and registration regarding ulcers is perceived. Regarding the treatment of pressure ulcers, the lack of continuity of care and updated knowledge/training have been the main barriers. In terms of prevention, the most mentioned barriers have been the clinical condition of the patient and the lack of personnel, despite the level of knowledge.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide up-to-date, systematic pooled evidence on the effect of educational training on nurses' knowledge and classification skills related to pressure injuries. DATA SOURCES The authors searched the following databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Cochrane library. STUDY SELECTION Two investigators independently performed the primary screening (title, abstract, and keywords). Of the 903 articles identified, 99 studies met the eligibility criteria, and their full texts were reviewed. Of these, nine studies totaling 25,723 participants satisfied the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. DATA EXTRACTION Manual data extraction was performed by the primary investigator using a predefined, semistructured form and was checked for accuracy by secondary investigators. DATA SYNTHESIS The majority of the included studies (five out of nine) were low quality. For knowledge score, the pooled standardized mean difference was 1.60 (95% CI, 0.79-2.41), P < .001. For classification skills, the pooled risk ratio was 1.20 (95% CI, 1.12-1.28). CONCLUSIONS Educational training was relatively effective in improving nurses' pressure injury knowledge and classification skills, although the studies in this review exhibited significant heterogeneity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To systematically evaluate the incidence of pressure injuries (PIs) in hospitalized fracture patients and to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of PIs. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines. Electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database (CNKI), WanFang Database, Weipu Database (VIP), and Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM) were searched to collect cross-sectional studies and cohort studies related to PIs among hospitalized fracture patients. All electronic literature sources were searched from inception to March 2022, and a hand-search through references was also conducted to find relevant articles. Studies were evaluated independently by two researchers and audited by a third researcher. The data were extracted and presented in tables. The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Checklist. All data analysis used Stata14.0. The I2 statistic and random-effects model were used to determine the heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 7906 articles were screened, and 18 studies with 8956 patients were ultimately involved in this review. The pooled incidence of PIs in the fracture patients was 20.4% (95%CI: 14.9 to 25.8), and the incidence of PIs only in spinal and hip fracture patients was 23.9% (95%CI: 19.6 to 28.2). The incidence of PIs in 65 years old or over was significantly high (23.3% [95%CI: 15.3 to 31.2]). The most affected body sites were sacrococcygeal regions (56.7%) and heels (19.9%). The most common stages were stage 2 (62.2%) and stage 1 (17.4%). CONCLUSION The overall incidence of PIs in fracture patients was as high as 20.4%, significantly higher than the average incidence of adults. We found that the potential for PIs in fracture patients increases with age. Hence, our discoveries recommended that healthcare givers should consider reducing the occurrence of PIs. Additionally, more research may be conducted to improve the understanding of characteristics of PIs among fracture patients and to identify PIs risk factors to prevent and treat them effectively.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pressure ulcer (PU), as a long-term disabling condition, is an important indicator for patient safety and quality of nursing care in hospitals. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of Iranian nurses towards PU prevention. METHODS A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus databases, Google Scholar Search Engine, as well as Magiran, Iranmedex, and Scientific Information Database (SID) Persian databases using the relevant keywords, from the earliest date available to August 21, 2020. Studies were appraised using the appraisal tool for cross-sectional studies (AXIS tool). FINDINGS Among a total of 1,543 Iranian nurses included in the 9 studies, 80.53% were female with a mean age of 31.14 (SD = 5.52) years. The mean work experience of the participants was 7.94 years (SD = 5.44). The knowledge and practice of Iranian nurses toward PU prevention were insufficient and relatively desirable, respectively. Also, the present study showed that nurses' attitudes toward PU prevention were contradictory. Age, gender, level of education, work experience, and participation in previous educational workshops were possible factors related to nurses' knowledge about PU prevention. Women with higher work experience had a more positive attitude. CONCLUSION This review found inappropriate knowledge, attitude, and practice of Iranian nurses toward PU prevention and highlights the importance of regular upgrading of nurses' knowledge and practice related to PU prevention.

Abstract
This study was intended to determine the characteristics of Medical Related Pressure Injury (MDRPI) in adult intensive care patients. MDRIs are recognized as significant and complex health problems among hospitalized patients. Underestimated true scale of the problem is evident because the systematic clinical evaluation of MDRPI occurrence is not part of routine skin assessment among intensive care patients. A prospective approach was used to obtain data of MDRPIs with two weeks follow up to monitor the prevention and treatment strategies. Participants were 329 adult patients from three large referral and teaching centres in Jordan. Data were collected using a screening form that included demographic and clinical characteristics, and a list of medical devices. The primary outcome for this study was MDRPI and defined as a pressure injury (PI) found on the skin or mucous membrane with a medical device in use at the location of the injury (EPUAP, 2019). The patients with MDRPI were followed up for 2 weeks for prevention and treatment strategies. Prevalence of MDRPI was 5.01% (15/299) with 41 injuries, 27/41 (65.8%) were skin injuries and 14/41(34.2%) were mucosal. Most mucous membrane MDRPIs were at mouth/lips and caused by ET tube and meatal orifice caused by foley catheter. Skin MDRPIs were at the nose and caused by NG tube and hands by peripheral intravenous line and arms caused by blood pressure cuff. Inadequate prevention was provided on daily care as only 177 prevention and treatment interventions were provided over 2 weeks for 15 patients. As a growing problem among Jordanian adults in intensive care, MDRPI required the need for effective prevention. About one-thirds of MDRPIs were mucosal, a finding not previously reported, indicating the need to include mucous membrane assessment with skin assessment when a medical device such as NG and ET tubes or foley catheters are in use. Prevention and treatment interventions provided to patients with MDRPIs were not systematic and based on routine care with no clear guidelines. A consensus has yet to be reached suggesting the need to establish effective prevention strategies for medical device-related pressure injuries. Future research is recommended to follow up MDRPI prevention and treatment strategies among patients in ICU. We suggest to continue studying the prevalence of MDRPIs and monitoring the location, prevention and treatment of both skin and mucosal MDRPIs.

Abstract
Background Medical device‐related pressure ulcers are increasingly common in critical care units. These ulcers can be complicated due to the necessity of the device for diagnosis or treatment. Purpose To determine the prevalence of and risk for medical device‐related pressure ulcers in critical care units in Jordan in addition to identifying the preventive measures for those ulcers as well as identifying the most frequently used medical devices that cause ulcers and to assess the relationships between prevention measures and developing ulcers. Methods A cross‐sectional survey was used to assess ulcers among 318 patients who were elder than 18 years old. Data collection was based on an outline published by the European Pressure Ulcer Advisory Panel, Braden Scale, and an author‐developed specific checklist. Results The prevalence rate of medical device‐related pressure ulcers was 38.1%. Most affected sites were sacrum and heel, and most affected were those with old age, being admitted to public hospitals, and with a prolonged hospital stay. About half of the patients (46.3%) had severe risk. Only 17% of the patients who were at risk got adequate preventive measures. Face masks, endotracheal tubes, pulse oximetry probes, and intravenous catheters were associated with almost half of the ulcers. Conclusion Medical device‐related pressure ulcers are threats to patient safety and quality of nursing care in hospitals, which require determining appropriate preventive measures. Key messages: Medical device‐related pressure ulcers are common among patients in critical care units, which raise the need to evaluate the prevalence of such type of ulcers in those patients. Three hundred and eighteen patients were investigated for the prevalence of medical device‐related pressure ulcers through a cross‐sectional survey. Patients in critical care units in Jordan had a high prevalence rate for medical device‐related pressure ulcers, which require the need to apply appropriate preventive measures.

Abstract
Pressure ulcers are a common complication of immobility and frequently occur in surgical patients. The occurrence of pressure ulcers is affected by many factors, such as operation time and position, anesthesia method, and postoperative nursing. The aim of this study was to investigate the Munro Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale's value in predicting acute pressure ulcers in general anesthesia patients. This case-control study included patients who underwent more than 2 hours of general anesthesia in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020. The case group comprised 42 patients who had pressure sores in surgical compression sites within 3 days after surgery. The control group consisted of 84 patients without acute pressure sores after surgery. Baseline patient data were compared between the two groups, and a logistic multivariate model was used to analyze potential risk factors for acute pressure ulcers. The Munro Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale scores and Braden scale scores were compared between the two groups during and after surgery. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the clinical value of the two scales (administered at the two time points) in predicting the occurrence of acute pressure ulcers after surgery. The operation and anesthesia times of patients in the case group were longer than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The proportion of comatose patients and patients with diabetes were significantly higher in the case group. While the case group had higher Munro scores during and after surgery compared to the control group (P < 0.05), Braden scores at the corresponding time points were lower (P < 0.05). The following variables were identified as independent risk factors of acute pressure ulcers: prolonged operation time and anesthesia time, increase in Munro scores during and after operation, decrease in Braden scores during and after operation, and comatose status (P < 0.05). The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of the postoperative Munro score for predicting postoperative pressure ulcer risk was 0.774; the sensitivity and specificity were 67.73% and 80.58%, respectively. The AUC of the intraoperative Braden score for predicting postoperative pressure ulcer risk was 0.836, with a sensitivity of 78.95% and specificity of 78.00%. The AUC of the postoperative Braden score for predicting postoperative pressure ulcer risk was 0.809, with a sensitivity of 73.58% and specificity of 64.26% (P < 0.05). Our results indicate that the intraoperative Munro Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale is highly effective for predicting the risk of postoperative pressure ulcers in surgical patients who require general anesthesia.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The prevention of pressure injury is of great importance in providing quality care to patients, as it has been reported that approximately 95% of all pressure injury are preventable. Nurses working in clinical settings play a key role in identifying patients at risk and administering preventative care. Therefore, this study examines pressure injury prevention practices among nurses. DESIGN Cross-sectional study design. SETTING Wolaita Sodo University Teaching and Referral Hospital, Ethiopia. PARTICIPANTS 240 nurses. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Pressure injury prevention practices among nurses. RESULT Among nurses, 37.9% had good pressure injury prevention practices. The factors associated with pressure injury prevention practices included having a bachelor's degree or higher (adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=2.18; 95% CI 1.12 to 4.25), having more than 10 years of nursing experience (AOR=3.44; 95% CI 1.41 to 8.37), lacking subject knowledge (AOR=0.49; 95% CI 0.27 to 0.91) and being over the age of 40 (AOR=0.55; 95% CI 0.09 to 0.35). CONCLUSION The majority of nurses reported having a limited level of pressure injury prevention practice. Since pressure ulcer prevention practice is majorly the role of nurses. Upgrading the educational level of the nurses through continuous professional development opportunities can improve the preventive practice of pressure ulcer injury by increasing the knowledge and skill gained during the vocational training.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressure injuries presently has been a serious healthcare problem all over the world. Children were recognized as the high-risk population of pressure injuries in the latest prevention and treatment of pressure injuries clinical practice guideline. However, the estimates of incidence, and prevalence of pressure injuries in hospitalized children patients vary considerable in relevant published studies. OBJECTIVE To systematically quantify the incidence and prevalence of pressure injuries (PIs) in hospitalized children and the most affected PIs sites. METHODS A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis guidelines. Electronic databases searches of the Cochrane Library, Pubmed, Web of Science, Medline, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database (CNKI), Wanfang Database, Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM), and Weipu Database (VIP), and hand-search through references were conducted to find relevant articles. Studies were evaluated independently by two researchers and audited by a third researcher. The data were extracted and presented in tables. The risk of bias was assessed using Hoy's tool. The I2 statistic and random-effects model were used to assess the heterogeneity. Meta-regression analysis and subgroup analysis were conducted to examine between-study heterogeneity. RESULTS A total of 6, 672 articles were screened, and 30 studies with 251, 501 participants were ultimately included in this review. The pooled incidence of PIs for 3, 205 children was 13.5% (95% CI: 10.5-16.5); and the pooled prevalence of PIs for 4, 639 children was 12.2% (95% CI: 8.0-16.3). The most affected body sites were occiput, ears, and nose. Meta-regression and subgroup analysis showed that the inpatient ward, and region were the sources of heterogeneity. CONCLUSIONS The incidence and prevalence of PIs was significantly higher than the adults. Our discoveries recommended that healthcare givers ought to pay more consideration to diminish the happens of PIs. Additionally, more research may be needed to improve our understanding of the characteristics of PIs among children and to identify PIs risk factors to prevent and treat it in children effectively.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pressure injuries are common complications occurred duration hospitalization, whether the interface pressure distribution in full body memory cotton chest-lumbar cushion was superior than traditional chest cushion remains unclear. PURPOSE This study aimed to compare the effects that the full body memory cotton chest-lumbar cushion versus traditional chest cushion on interface pressure. METHODS A total of 66 healthy individuals were recruited. The volunteers were placed in the left lateral position and left armpit and iliac spine pressure and level of comfort were measured. Group differences were assessed using the paired t-test or Wilcoxon test according to data distribution. Additionally, multivariate regression analysis was applied to determine the potential role of sex, age, and body mass index on left armpit and iliac spine pressure and overall comfort. RESULTS Compared with the traditional chest cushion, we noted that the full body chest-lumbar cushion made of memory cotton was associated with less pressure on the left armpit (38.17 ± 10.39 mmHg vs. 67.93 ± 14.67 mmHg, respectively; P < 0.0001) and iliac spine (43.32 ± 13.70 mmHg vs. 50.77 ± 20.94 mmHg, respectively; P = 0.0004). Moreover, we noted that the overall comfort with the memory cotton chest-lumbar cushion was higher than that with the traditional chest cushion (8.48 ± 1.08 vs. 6.36 ± 1.45, respectively; P < 0.0001). Finally, the multivariate regression analyses found iliac spine pressure could affect by sex (P = 0.0377) and body mass index (P = 0.0380). CONCLUSIONS The full body chest-lumbar cushion made of memory cotton had beneficial effects on left armpit and iliac spine pressure and on comfort. These findings should be applied to future clinical practice.

Abstract
The objectives of this study were to examine the knowledge and attitude of Indonesian community nurses regarding Pressure Injury (PI) prevention. A cross‐sectional design was used and included the community nurses permanently working in the Public Health Center (Puskemas) in Bandung, West Java Indonesia. Knowledge was measured using the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool (PUKAT 2.0). Attitudes were measured using a predesigned instrument which included 11 statements on a five point Likert scale. All data were collected using paper‐based questionnaires. The response rate was 100%. Respondents (n = 235) consisted of 80 community nursing program coordinators (34.0%) and 155 community nurses (66.0%). Regarding knowledge, the percentage of correct answers in the total group of community nurses on the PUKAT 2.0 was 30.7%. The theme “Prevention” had the lowest percentage of correct answers (20.8%). Community nurses who had additional PI or wound care training had a higher knowledge score compared with community nurses who did not have additional PI training (33.7% vs 30.3%; Z = −1.995; P = 0.046). The median attitude score was 44 (maximum score 55; range 28–55), demonstrating a positive attitude among participants towards PI prevention. Further, the higher the education status of participants, the more positive the attitudes (H = 11.773; P = 0.003). This study shows that community nurses need to improve their basic knowledge of PI prevention. Furthermore, research should be performed to explore what community nurses need to strengthen their role in PI prevention.

Abstract
BACKGROUD Pressure injuries (PIs) bring a considerable physical and mental burden on immobile patients, and have put families and government under tremendous pressure to cover the cost of treatment. Therefore, this protocol proposes to identify risk factors of developing PIs in immobile patients from systematic reviews (SRs) and clinical practice guidelines (CPGs), in order to establish a risk prediction model for developing PIs and identify individual risk factors that can be modified to aid prevention. METHODS Electronic databases and specific databases for CPGs and SRs will be searched. Study selection and data collection will be performed independently by two reviewers. All included SRs and CPGs will be subject to critical appraisal. RevMan 5.3 will be used to calculate the pooled odds ratio (ORP) after appraising the quality of eligible studies, and the risk predictive model will be established using logistic regression model. A narrative synthesis, evidence summary table, and Sankey diagram will also be performed. RESULTS The results of this study will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. CONCLUSION This systematic review will provide a risk prediction model of PI developing. INSPLAY REGISTRATION NUMBER INPLASY2020100097.

Abstract
AIM To assess the prevalence, related factors, and strategies for the prevention and treatment of pressure ulcers (PUs) in nursing homes in eastern China. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional multicenter survey, assessments of 1158 residents in nine nursing homes in eastern China were conducted on a single day in August of 2019. RESULTS Of the 1158 residents, 56 (4.8%) had at least one PU. Most of the identified PUs were classified as stage 3 (39.3%) and developed at home (55.4%). By multiple regression analysis, eating mode, bed-bound, and Braden score were significant association with the development of PUs in nursing homes. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of PUs in this study was similar to that reported by previous international studies. The implementation of measures for the prevention and treatment of PUs is insufficient in nursing homes in eastern China. Further, this study raised the issue of the lack of measures to prevent the development of PUs at home.

METHODS Electronic databases and specific databases of CPGs will be searched. Study selection and data collection will be performed independently by two reviewers. The Appraisal of Guidelines for Research & Evaluation II (AGREE II) Instrument and Reporting Items for Practice Guidelines in Healthcare (RIGHT) will be used to assess the methodological quality and reporting quality of included CPGs. Bubble plot will be used to describe the difference of the quality, and mind mapping will be plotted to illustrate the comparison of recommendations of a guideline when needed. R software, MindMaster and Excel will be used. RESULTS The results of this study will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. CONCLUSION This systematic review will provide comprehensive evidence of CPGs of PU. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42020149176.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the knowledge that transportation by emergency medical services may increase the risk of pressure ulcers (PU), there is still lack of knowledge about the possibility of prehospital emergency care providers to be a part of preventing and reducing the risk of PUs. METHODS A survey was carried out during 2017 in Finland and Sweden. Validated questionnaires were used. RESULTS A total of 179 (72.7%) Finnish and 188 (28.8%) Swedish prehospital emergency care providers participated in the study. The overall rate of correct answers and the mean total knowledge score was 58.8% (SD 21.8), 20/34, in the Finnish group and 70.5% (SD 15.7), 24/34, in the Swedish group (p < 0.000). The percent of the total and the mean attitude score was in the Finnish group 71.3% (SD 0.48), 37.1/52, and in the Swedish group 69.4% (SD 0.77), 36.1/52 (p < 0.813). Half of the Finnish and most of the Swedish participants felt they needed more education about PUs (Fin 50.2% & Swe: 76.0%). CONCLUSIONS Prehospital emergency care providers don't see themselves as responsible for PU prevention. Therefore, there is a need for increasing the level of knowledge on PU prevention and classification among prehospital emergency care providers. They could play a key role in developing methods to improve PU prevention and identifying patients in risk of developing PUs.
