Perceived need for education vs. actual knowledge of pressure ulcer care in a hospital nursing staff.
Copyright policy )Perceived need for education vs. actual knowledge of pressure ulcer care in a hospital nursing staff.
The relationship between perceived need for further education in wound care issues and actual knowledge of pressure ulcer care was examined among 86 professional and nonprofessional nursing staff members of a community urban hospital. A weak correlation between perceived need for further education and actual wound care knowledge base was found. Participants were poorly informed in several basic aspects of pressure ulcer care while generally desiring more wound care education. These results are discussed in light of future educational needs vis-a-vis current "re-engineering" efforts in nursing personnel.
