This research is a randomised controlled study conducted to evaluate the effects of training given to wheelchair users to prevent pressure injury on their level of knowledge, prevention of pressure injury and wound healing. This study will test the following hypotheses among trained and untrained wheelchair users: Hypothesis 1: Pressure injury education provided to wheelchair users has an impact on pressure injury prevention knowledge. Hypothesis 2: Pressure injury education provided to wheelchair users has an impact on pressure injury prevention interventions. Hypothesis 3: Pressure injury education provided to wheelchair users has an impact on pressure injury prevention. Hypothesis 4: Pressure injury education provided to wheelchair users has an impact on pressure injury recovery.
