Qualitative

Aim: To describe and compare patients’ and nurses’ perceptions of the feasibility and acceptability of a patient education pressure injury prevention (PIP) care bundle (PPIPCB). Methods: Semi-structured patient interviews and nurse focus groups were conducted in three medical units of an Australian metropolitan hospital. Qualitative data were gathered on participants’ experiences of PIP education on hospital admission and their views of the acceptability of implementing a PPIPCB. Following inductive content analysis of the data, the categories were comparatively analysed and the themes defined. Results: Patients reported receiving limited education from nurses, while heavy workloads were a major barrier to nurses delivering patient education. Patients and nurses valued PIP education and wanted more time and resources to engage in this activity. The PPIPCB was viewed by both patients and nurses as a useful resource that could facilitate information sharing between nurses, patients and their families. Conclusion: Nurses have a key role in educating patients about PIP care, with accessible resources needed to facilitate this activity. Our PPIPCB provides patients and nurses with simple to implement strategies that could increase patients’ participation in their care.
