Abstract:

Objective To explore the effects of workshop used in pressure injury training for nurses in rehabilitation department. Methods A total of 96 nurses from 8 nursing units in the rehabilitation center of A tertiary hospital in Shenyang were selected. Six training topics were established including stage of pressure injury,prevention,treatment at each stage,position management,common dressing use,and pain management. All these topics were carried out in workshops. Theoretical analysis,skill experience,case participation,discussion and summary were used in the training. There was one topic per week（2 hours,12 hours in total）. The knowledge and attitude scores of pressure injury were compared before and after the training,and the degree of recognition of nurses with the training was also investigated. Results Before the training,the knowledge and attitude scores of nurses were 6.50±1.50 and 22.65±2.55 respectively. After 3 months of training,the knowledge and attitude scores of nurses on pressure injury were 10.50±2.50 and 27.50±2.35 respectively. The score changes before and after the training were statistically significant（P<0.05）. 98.9% of nurses thought that workshop could improve their skill ability,97.9% of nurses approved of the teaching method,and 96.9% of nurses thought that workshop could arouse their interests in learning. Conclusion The workshop training can improve nurses’ knowledge and attitude towards pressure injury. Besides,the workshop can stimulate nurses’ interests in learning and improve the training effects.
