Taiwan92 participantsStarted 2024-03-22

Plain-language summary

The main caregivers of pressure injury patients in the plastics surgery ward and general medicine ward of the hospital in Taipei City who are over 20 years old, have good communication skills in Chinese and Taiwanese or who can read Chinese are the research objects. During the study process, pre-tests will be given to the accepted subjects, which are the correctness evaluation scale of caregiver's pressure injury wound dressing change and caregiver self-efficacy scale, and then the accepted subjects will be divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group will receive interventions of virtual reality and artificial intelligence wound detecting system, while the control group maintained the traditional pressure injury health education with oral introduction and health education leaflet. After the intervention measures are given, a post-test (same as the pre-test content) will be conducted within two days. Finally, analyze the effectiveness of the intervention of virtual reality pressure injury education video and artificial intelligence wound detecting system on caregivers of pressure injury improve wound care correctness and increase self-efficacy.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
