Interactive e-book training to improve home care nurses' pressure injury care

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This interventional comparison tests an interactive online e-book against standard Ministry of Health and Welfare PDF training for home care nurses. Participants will either use the interactive e-book for one month or review the standard PDF materials, and will complete surveys measuring knowledge, perceived barriers, and self-efficacy before the program, immediately after, and one month later. The focus is on pressure injury prevention and treatment in the home-care setting and on how long any learning benefits persist. The study will determine whether interactive digital learning produces greater gains or longer retention than static materials.
