Description
Öznur Erbay Dalli surveys knowledge gaps about skin injury among intensive care nurses in a 2026 cross-sectional study. Two hundred eighty-three nurses completed three validated surveys covering pressure injuries, device-related pressure injuries, and skin tears. Critically ill patients face high risk of all three, and nurses lead prevention, yet combined knowledge across the three areas had rarely been measured.
Scores varied by topic, and stopping harm was the weakest domain throughout all three surveys. Nurses with more experience, advanced education, or prior skin tear care experience scored higher. The author recommends targeted education to strengthen prevention knowledge across skin integrity care, while cautioning that social media sign-up may have biased the sample and that no deeper analysis was performed.
