Aim:
This study aimed to describe the pressure injury (PI) knowledge of Turkish internship nursing students (INSs).
Materials And Methods:
This descriptive study was performed using the Turkish version of the Modified Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test. The study population consisted of INSs in a nursing program in the West Black Sea Region, Turkey. The sample of the study was 278 (74.1% of a total of 375 volunteer INSs).
Results:
The mean knowledge test score was 29.03 ± 7.15 (range 11-44). The prevention/risk score was higher; only 28.4% of the students had a satisfactory test score.
Conclusion:
The results of this study indicated that the INSs had significant knowledge gaps regarding PI. Nursing students' knowledge deficiencies regarding PIs should be identified at undergraduate level, and the necessary educational measures should be taken.
