About
Pressure injuries develop due to decreased movement, especially in bedridden individuals receiving home care. In Turkey, the management of pressure injuries is carried out by nurses in acute and long-term care settings, and mostly by caregivers for individuals receiving home care. Studies have shown that individuals providing home care have a significant need for training. Today, digital health technologies are used to facilitate access to healthcare professionals and provide workload and cost efficiency. Telehealth services in these technologies can be provided via telephone or mobile applications. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the effect of nursing services provided via mobile applications on the management of pressure injuries in individuals receiving home care. The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental type. In the power analysis conducted to calculate the sample size, the sample size was determined as 56, and considering that there may be data losses, 60 people will be included in the study. The "Structured Information Form, Pressure Injury Information Form for Caregivers, Pressure Injury Skill Checklist for Caregivers, and Pressure Injury Follow-up Form" will be used as data collection tools in the study. In this study, it is thought that the nurse's remote monitoring of individuals receiving home care with a mobile application in the management of pressure injuries will contribute to patient safety and care costs.
