What this trial studies
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a digital tool called MEDIASCREEN in enhancing patients' knowledge and skills regarding the prevention of pressure sores during hospitalization. It compares the impact of this digital tool against traditional paper-based prevention materials. The study also assesses the cognitive effects of using the digital tool, including improvements in self-esteem and personal effectiveness related to pressure sore prevention. Patients will be monitored for their understanding and behavioral changes regarding pressure sore risks.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients hospitalized in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation who are at low to high risk of pressure ulcers.
Not a fit: Patients who have difficulty understanding information or are unable to provide informed consent will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could significantly improve patient awareness and prevention of pressure sores, leading to better health outcomes during hospitalization.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific digital tool is novel, similar studies have shown that digital interventions can effectively enhance patient education and outcomes.
