dc.description.abstractOBJECTIVETo determine nurses' knowledge levels and attitudes regarding pressure injury (PI) in Turkey and to reveal the relationship between these two variables.METHODSThis study was conducted with 604 nurses to obtain 98% power based on the G*Power analysis. The authors used the Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool (PUKAT) 2.0 and Attitude toward Pressure Ulcer Prevention (APuP) instrument for data collection. Regression, correlation analysis, independent-sample t test, and analysis of variance were used in data analysis.RESULTSNurses' mean total PUKAT 2.0 score was 9.40 +/- 2.47 (46.72% correct). Nurses' mean total score on the APuP instrument was 32.39 +/- 2.752. The total knowledge score and total attitude score were positively correlated (rho = 0.761; P = .007). According to the results of linear regression analysis, the demographic variables of sex, education, seniority, and unit significantly predicted PUKAT 2.0 scores and APuP scores.CONCLUSIONSNurses' knowledge of PI prevention was insufficient, and their attitudes were average. A significant and positive relationship was identified between nurses' knowledge and attitudes regarding PI.
