NCT07341620
The goal of this study is to learn if an interactive e-book helps home care nurses improve their skills in managing pressure injuries at home. It will also learn if digital learning can overcome the challenges of traditional training. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the e-book increase home care nurses' knowledge about pressure injury prevention and treatment? 2. Does it improve their confidence and reduce the barriers they face when providing wound care? 3. How long do the learning benefits last after completing the program? Researchers will compare an interactive e-book to standard PDF training materials from the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) to see which is more effective for nursing education. Participants will: 1. Use an online interactive e-book covering 11 units of wound care for 1 month 2. Use standard PDF training materials from the MOHW Long-term Care section 3. Complete surveys about their knowledge and skills before the study, immediately after the program, and 1 month later Expected Outcomes and Contributions: This study aims to solve the problem of nursing shortages and training difficulties in rural areas. The researchers expect that home care nurses will become more competent in wound management, leading to better patient health and fewer hospital readmissions. These results will support Taiwan's "Long-term Care 3.0" policy by driving innovation in digital education.
NCT07454746
This study aimed to translate and culturally adapt the Critical Care Pressure Ulcer Assessment Tool Made Easy (CALCULATE) into Turkish and to evaluate its validity and reliability for use in ICU patients. This study sought to answer the following questions: Is the Turkish version of the CALCULATE Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale a valid instrument for determining the risk of pressure injury in patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)? Is the Turkish version of the CALCULATE Pressure Injury Risk Assessment Scale a reliable instrument for determining the risk of pressure injury in patients hospitalized in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU)?
NCT07028892
The goal of this Randomized Controlled Trial is to define the effect of gamified teaching methods for pressure injury prevention in intensive care nurses. The main questions it aims to answer are: H1: The gamified learning experience will increase the nurses' knowledge of pressure injury prevention compared to the control group. H2: The gamified learning experience will increase the nurses' skills in pressure injury prevention compared to the control group. H3: The gamified learning experience will increase the nurses' attitude toward pressure injury prevention compared to the control group. Researchers will compare two arm to see if there is a difference in knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Participants in the experimental group will be educated via a gamified mobile learning application.
NCT06302582
This study is an open-label, single-center trial which aim to evaluate of efficacy and safety of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) combined with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in stage 3 and 4 stress injury.
NCT01384500
Patients who are intubated (breathing tube in windpipe) are often transported by air ambulance. Changes in atmospheric pressure during flight may cause pressure increases in the air-filled cuff holding the tube in the windpipe. Studies show that more than half the patients had potentially harmful pressures in the cuff during flight. High pressures lead to complications, such as injury to the windpipe. To avoid injury, cuff pressures must be kept at a safe level. There are many ways to avoid unsafe cuff pressures. One is to inflate the cuff with sterile fluid instead of air. Fluids are not subject to changes in atmospheric pressure. Using fluid, instead of air, in the cuff causes less pressure increases and less windpipe injury. The use and safety profile of this during transport by air ambulance has not been studied. This study compares tracheal tube cuff pressures, filled with air or fluid, at routine flying altitudes during patient transports by air ambulance.
