“…The results of this study are similar to many previous studies, as a study done by Awad et al 9 found that the total mean score of knowledge of caregivers about PU improved and was statistically significantly higher than before the intervention. This is in accordance with a study done in Thailand by Chiaprasert et al, 17 who applied a training program for caregivers of the elderly, which found the PU prevention training program should be applied to caregivers to enable them to take better care of the elderly, resulting in preventing PU risk. Therefore, the PU prevention training program should be useful for other caregivers of the elderly with bedsores.…”

“…These findings concurred with prior studies conducted on caregivers of elderly persons. A study done by Chiaprasert et al 17 clarified improved practices of caregivers after receiving the program about PU prevention as well as improvement in caring for ulcers and preventing complications. Moreover, Awad et al 9 highlighted that the caregivers' practice regarding PUs improved after they applied to the training program.…”

Objectives Pressure ulcer (PU) is one of the most common problem among the bedridden elderly and has significantly more burden on elderly and caregivers. This study is aimed to evaluate the effects of the training program for caregivers to prevent PUs among elderly residents at geriatric homes. Methods A quasi-experimental design was used to carry out the current study. A purposive sample comprised of all formal (39 nurses) or informal caregivers (39) and all immobilized elderly residents (35) who are found in all geriatric centers in Helwan district. A structured questionnaire was used to assess caregivers’ socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude, and observational checklists for their practice for prevention of PU at pre- and posttest and during follow-up. Results After the training program, there were improvements in the level of knowledge, practice, and positive attitude of caregivers about PU prevention with a statistically significant difference between pre-, post-, and follow-up training programs (P < 0.001). Conclusions The study revealed that the training program seemed to change the knowledge, practice, and attitude of the subjects to PU prevention. This, in turn, implies that adequate knowledge affects directly the elderly caregivers’ attitudes as well as practice for prevention could be important in reducing the burden of PU among the elderly. Thus, conducting a training program for caregivers at different geriatric homes about caring skills for elders can prevent PU, and using spontaneous reposition is very effective to prevent PUs.

ObjectiveTo determine the effectiveness of pressure ulcer prevention training for the relatives of palliative care inpatients.MethodsThis study had a pretest–post-test design with parallel groups and a randomised control group, and it was conducted with 70 (experimental n=35, control n=35) patient relatives. A personal information form and Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test were used as data collection tools. Parametric tests were performed for statistical analysis.ResultsThe pressure ulcer prevention training given to the relatives of palliative care patients in the experimental group was significantly effective in increasing their level of knowledge about these ulcers (p<0.05). However, the routine ward discharge training given to the relatives of palliative care patients in the control group was not significantly effective in increasing their level of knowledge about them (p>0.05).ConclusionsSpecialised training regarding pressure ulcers should be given to the relatives of patients receiving palliative care. It is important that the educational materials used in this trainings appeal to all sensory organs in order to improve the educational outcomes.Trial registration numberNCT05979402.
