Nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice in preventing medical device-related pressure injuries and its influencing factors: A cross-sectional study.

The purpose of this study was to explore the knowledge, attitude, and practice about preventing medical device-related pressure injuries among Chinese nurses. A cross-sectional survey was used to gather self-reported data from 2236 nursing staff, from 164 nursing units in a tertiary hospital of China by using MDRPI knowledge, attitude, and practice questionnaire. The median total score for nursing staff in preventing MDRPI is 151 (with a quartile range of 138-165) points, and the score rate is 79.40 %，the median total score for the knowledge dimension is 54 (with a quartile range of 45-60), with a score rate of 70.67 %, the median total score for the attitude dimension is 37 (with a quartile range of 36-44), with a score rate of 85.06 %，the median total score for the practice dimension is 59 (with a quartile range of 55-68), with a score rate of 85.48 %. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that position and whether training or not are key factors influencing the total score of nursing staff in MDRPI prevention. The study found that while nurses' attitude and practice score in preventing MDRPI are high, there is room for improvement in their knowledge score. Factors such as nurse position and training were identified as promoting MDRPI prevention. To enhance patient safety and quality of care, it is recommended that medical institutions focus on training programs to improve nurses' knowledge and attitude towards preventing MDRPI.

Thermal measurement of erythema across skin tones: Implications for clinical identification of early pressure injury.

To assess the effectiveness of thermography, colorimetry, and oximetry at detecting temperature changes after erythema induction across diverse skin tones in healthy adults. Erythema was induced at the forearm and ulnar head (UH) using a cupping device. Temperature via thermal image, erythema value via colorimeter, and oxygen saturation via oximeter were collected immediately and 5-10 min (delayed) after cupping at both sites. At the forearm, the delayed timepoint was significantly warmer than baseline. At the UH, the immediate timepoint was significantly colder than baseline. Erythema increased at both timepoints and both locations. The correlation between temperature change and erythema change was weak. Change in temperature did not differ between skin tone groups. The Intermediate Low Eumelanin skin tone group had more change in erythema compared to the Intermediate Mid (i.e., darkest) skin tone group immediately after cupping at the UH and at the delayed timepoint at the forearm. This study observed differences in the change of erythema across skin tones but did not observe differences in temperature across skin tones. Given high variability in results, it is premature to conclude thermal imaging works equally well across all skin tones. Further research is necessary to validate the effectiveness of thermal imaging in diverse populations. Results suggest visual erythema may be a problematic indicator as less erythema was consistently noted in participants with dark skin tones. The potential of technology to increase our ability to detect erythema warrants further investigation.
