Turkey (Türkiye)270 participantsStarted 2024-01-14

Plain-language summary

It is known that caregivers of patients at high risk of developing pressure injury (PBI) have important responsibilities and education to be given to caregivers is necessary for the prevention of PBI. This study was planned to determine the effect of video-assisted training to be given to caregivers of patients at high risk of developing BP on caregivers' knowledge level, attitudes, behaviors and reactions towards caregiving. The research will be conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study in Gaziantep City Hospital inpatient units between 15.09.2023-15.09.2025. A total of 270 patients will be included in the study, with 90 patients assigned to each of the video training group, standard training group and control group. Criterion sampling method will be used to assign the participants to the experimental and control groups, and those with medium and high Braden Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale scores will be determined and randomly assigned to the groups. Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, Braden Pressure Ulcer Risk Assessment Scale, Family Caregivers' Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Assessment Tool for Pressure Injury Prevention and Caregiver Reaction Assessment Scale will be used for data collection. Data will be collected by face-to-face interviews in inpatient units after randomization. Participants in the video training group will be shown training videos on prevention of SCI, while the standard training group will receive a verbal training and the control group will follow routine clinical protocols. They will be asked to watch the video trainings at least three times in any time and environment they want for four weeks and their weekly feedback will be collected. Final measurements of all participants will be made at the end of the fourth week. In the statistical analysis of the data, descriptive statistics, t test, ANOVA, ANCOVA, Mann Withney U, Kruskall Wallis H test and Wilcoxon signed-rank test will be used according to normal distribution.

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.
