Modeling the Factors Associated with Nurses' Knowledge and Perceived Barriers Towards Pressure Injury Prevention: A Multi-Center Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Pressure injury is a preventable public health problem. It may develop due to intense force or force combined with shear. Pressure injuries may be associated with pain and increased length of hospital stay. Adequate knowledge and a positive attitude of nurses are required to prevent pressure injuries. Evidence on pressure injury prevention in Ghana among nurses is limited. Aims and Objectives: The study examined factors associated with nurses' knowledge and perceived barriers toward pressure injury prevention in the Tamale metropolis, Ghana. Methods: This was a multi-center descriptive cross-sectional study that recruited 216 nurses using systematic random sampling method. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using the R package and Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) version 27.0. After controlling for covariates, regression analysis determined the predictors of knowledge and attitude toward pressure injury prevention. Results: More than two-thirds (79%) of nurses demonstrated good knowledge regarding pressure injury prevention. However, a significant majority (94%) exhibited poor attitudes. Notably, nurses employed in teaching hospitals [aRR = 2.09 (95%CI: 1.31, 3.44), Conclusion: While nurses exhibited a good knowledge about pressure injury prevention, their attitude toward its prevention was poor, indicating significant gaps that need addressing. Developing a comprehensive pressure injury management document and promoting attitudinal change through continuing professional capacity development may prove timely. The findings highlight the need for addressing organizational barriers that hinder effective nursing practice to improve the quality of care and positive patient outcomes.
