“…Hosseinpoor et al examined the socio-demographic characteristics of the caregivers of elderly people in low and middle-income countries, where the rate of female caregivers was found higher [9]. It was claimed that when the caregiver is young, they will understand the training better and make it easier to perform tasks that require physical effort such as the carrying and repositioning of the patient [10]. The reason for the lack of a significant difference between age and knowledge scores in our study may be the high mean age.…”

Introduction:The need for care and palliative care increased with the prolongation of mean life expectancy. One of the most frequently observed symptoms in palliative care is pressure ulcers. We aimed to measure the knowledge levels of caregivers serving hospitalized patients in the palliative care service and to investigate their relationship with socio-demographic characteristics, especially the knowledge levels.Methods: This study enrolled 109 people providing care to patients who received inpatient palliative care between November 1 and December 31, 2018. A questionnaire including questions about socio-demographic characteristics and knowledge about pressure ulcers was administered. The pressure ulcer status of the patients was evaluated by a physician. Results:The mean age of the caregivers was 49.49 ± 10.91 years . The mean knowledge level of the participants was 70.09 ± 18.58%.The minimum score was 0, and the maximum score was 100. It was found that 62.4% of the caregivers received information about pressure ulcers in the past, 30.3% of them didn't receive any information about pressure ulcers, and 7.3% received partial information. Conclusion:The knowledge level of the caregivers who were informed about pressure ulcers was significantly higher than those who were not informed (p=0.005). Therefore, we think that continuous education has an essential place in preventing pressure ulcers.

“…Patient education is considered the most valuable tool to ensure proper cast maintenance, preventing potential complications and improve patient outcomes. Furthermore, results of previous studies conducted in Egypt revealed significance correlation between incidence of local complication of plaster cast and improper cast care (Eldosoky and Ahmad, 2016) [10] , also the study of (Mersal, 2014) [19] that conducted in Demerdash Hospital Cairo, Egypt, and founded that there was low level of knowledge and performance of casted patients and their caregivers about cast care and prevention of immobilization complications. Researchers found that many patients managed with orthopedic plaster casts in Minia University suffering from local complications as a result of knowledge and practice deficiency regarding self-care management while working in the orthopedic ward.…”

Orthopedic casting is a routine procedure used for managing fractures in all age groups. Patient counseling is considered as the most valuable tool to ensure proper cast maintenance and improve patient outcomes. Aim of the study:To investigate the effect of self-care nursing instructions on reducing specific potential local complications among patients with limbs plaster cast. Research design: Quazi experimental research design (pre-posttest) was utilized. Setting: Orthopedic clinic and department of Minia university hospital, Egypt. Sample: The purposive sample technique was used to select 60 patients with a newly applied upper or lower limb plaster cast. Tools: Three tools were utilized for collecting data of this study. First tool: A structured interview questionnaire was developed and filled by the researchers to assess sociodemographic, medical data and cast patient's knowledge and practice about cast care. Second tool: Pain numerical rating Scale. The third tool: Was a Post-applied cast assessment tool used to assess the incidence of any signs and symptoms of potential local complications. Results: There was a highly statistically significant improvement of the patients' knowledge and self-care practices about cast care which consequently leads to a low incidence of specific potential cast complications among them. Conclusion: Implementation of self-care nursing instructions was effective in improving knowledge and practice about cast care as well as reflected low incidence of potential local complications among patients with limb plaster casts. Recommendations: Applying nursing interventions regarding cast care on a large sample and other different types and locations of the orthopedic cast and measuring the effect of nursing intervention on reducing both local and systemic complications. Designing and implementing an educational training program for orthopedic nurses to improve the quality of care before, during, and after casting.

“…Orthopaedic care's duty is to provide standardised patient care based on evidence-based practise for traction patients by doing musculoskeletal examinations, assisting with traction, and administering prescription pain medication. Orthopedic nurses assist and educate patients on mobility, joint and bone health, and the development of care plans to avoid issues (Mersal, Mersal, & Hussein, 2017).…”
