Abstract:
Preventing pressure injuries among nursing home residents is a significant challenge that necessitates understanding the barriers and facilitators from the perspective of staff. This qualitative study aimed to describe these factors within Sri Lankan nursing homes. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 nursing home staff members from nine nursing homes in and near the Colombo district, Sri Lanka. The study was informed by the capability, opportunity, motivation, and behaviour model that guided both data collection and analysis. Data were analysed using content analysis. Using deductive coding based on capability, opportunity, and motivation, followed by inductive analysis, four primary categories emerged: focusing on skincare is foundational for pressure injury prevention, pressure injury knowledge is critical for prevention, pressure injury prevention is a low organisational priority, and overcoming challenges to enact pressure injury prevention. Key facilitators included access to skincare products, maintaining clean and dry skin, recognising risk factors, proactively managing risks, and understanding the broader implications of pressure injuries on residents and their families. Conversely, barriers encompassed limited training, varying staff support, inadequate resources, and the complexities of managing multiple tasks. This research highlights that enhancing knowledge and allocating resources effectively can improve the implementation of pressure injury prevention strategies in Sri Lankan nursing homes.
