“…The findings indicate that the majority (70%) of respondents had good knowledge about the causes and prevention of pressure ulcers respectively and only 30% had satisfactory knowledge. The findings in this study contrast with Murugiah et al (2020) and Isa, Azman and Mat (2019) who reported that student nurses portray low levels of knowledge concerning pressure ulcers. However, the findings of 30% of the respondents from this study, who demonstrated only satisfactory knowledge is of concern, because they would put patients at risk.…”

Background: Student nurses provide nursing care to patients during clinical allocation, and their competence may affect the quality of care given to the patients. Good knowledge and positive attitudes enhance early detection for prevention and management of pressure ulcers.Aim: To determine undergraduate nursing students’ knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) towards prevention and management of pressure ulcers.Setting: A nursing education institution in Windhoek, Namibia.Methods: A quantitative, cross-sectional research design was used to conveniently sample (n = 50) student nurses and collect data using a self-administered questionnaire. Data were analysed using the statistical software programme (SPSS) version 27. Descriptive frequencies were applied, and Fishers exact test was performed. A statistical value of p 0.05 was considered significant.Results: Fifty (n = 50) student nurses consented to participate in the study. Student nurses reported good levels of knowledge (n = 35; 70%), attitude (n = 39; 78%), practices (n = 47; 94%). There was no statistically significant association between demographic variables and the level of knowledge, attitudes and practices, p 0.05.Conclusion: Student nurses have good knowledge, positive attitudes and practices on prevention and management of pressure ulcers. By the implications, the study concludes that the nursing students will competently manage the pressure ulcers occurring in the clinical setting. An observational study is recommended to assess practices in the clinical setting.Contribution: The findings of this study will help to close the gap in the implementation of standard operating procedures for the prevention and management of pressure ulcers.

“…Ratificando, assim, a premissa de que quanto maior o nível de escolaridade, maior o nível de conhecimento. 24 Ademais, esses dados revelam que embora o tempo de atuação propicie maior experiência, isso não reflete, obrigatoriamente, melhoria na qualidade da assistência, uma vez que o processo do cuidar requer atualização e reciclagem constantes. 25 Tal fato corrobora os dados desta pesquisa, revelando que os conhecimentos insatisfatórios analisados pelo PUKT foram maiores entre os profissionais que dispunham de tempo de prática na terapia intensiva entre quatro e cinco anos, e que não tinham recebido treinamento ou curso sobre prevenção de LP.…”

RESUMO Objetivos analisar e comparar o nível de conhecimento sobre prevenção de lesão por pressão entre enfermeiros e técnicos de enfermagem que atuam em Unidades de Terapia Intensiva e graduandos em enfermagem no último ano do curso. Método estudo transversal, de caráter descritivo-exploratório e de abordagem quantitativa, utilizando o Pieper’s Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test. Os dados foram analisados através do Statistical Package for Social Science, mediante estatística descritiva e inferencial (ANOVA-One Way, teste de normalidade de Shapiro-Wilk e pressuposto de homogeneidade através do teste de Levene). Resultados a amostra da pesquisa abarcou 70 participantes, sendo 22 enfermeiros, 14 técnicos de enfermagem e 34 graduandos em enfermagem. Foi visto que apenas 22,7% dos enfermeiros, 7,1% dos técnicos e 0,0% dos graduandos em enfermagem atingiram o percentual de acertos ≥ 90% recomendado pelo teste de conhecimento. Conclusão e implicações para a prática os resultados encontrados neste estudo permitiram identificar um nível insuficiente de conhecimento e uma percepção de aptidão equivocada, relacionados à prevenção de lesão por pressão, entre os participantes do estudo, com ênfase para os técnicos e para os graduandos em enfermagem. Logo, esta pesquisa aponta para a necessidade de ações educativas que visem a capacitação do público supramencionado.

“…Thus confirming the premise that the higher the level of education, the higher the level of knowledge. 24 Furthermore, these data reveal that although the time of performance provides greater experience, this does not necessarily reflect an improvement in the quality of care, since the care process requires constant updating and recycling. 25 This fact corroborates the data of this research, revealing that the unsatisfactory knowledge analyzed by the PUKT was greater among professionals who had been practicing intensive care for between four and five years, and who had not received training or a course on PU prevention.…”

Objectives to analyze and compare the level of knowledge about pressure ulcer prevention among nurses and nursing technicians who work in Intensive Care Units and nursing students in the last year of the course. Method a cross-sectional, descriptive-exploratory study with a quantitative approach, using the Pieper’s Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test. Data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science, using descriptive and inferential statistics (ANOVA-One Way, Shapiro-Wilk normality test and assumption of homogeneity using Levene’s test). Results the research sample included 70 participants, being 22 nurses, 14 nursing technicians and 34 undergraduate nursing students. It was observed that only 22.7% of nurses, 7.1% of technicians and 0.0% of students reached the percentage of correct answers ≥ 90% recommended by the knowledge test. Conclusion and implications for practice the results found in this study made it possible to identify an insufficient level of knowledge and a mistaken perception of aptitude, related to the pressure ulcer prevention, among the study participants, with emphasis on technicians and undergraduates in nursing. Therefore, this research points to the need for educational actions aimed at training the aforementioned public.
