    Operating Room Nurses' Attitudes Toward Patient Safety and Attitudes Toward Preventing Pressure Injuries: Descriptive and Regression Analysis
    (W.B. Saunders, 2025) Cetinkaya, M.M.; Taylan, S.; Eti Aslan, F.
    Purpose This study was conducted to determine the relationship between patient safety attitudes of operating room nurses and their attitudes toward the prevention of pressure injuries. Design The study is a descriptive regression study. Methods The study data were collected from 102 nurses working in the operating room of a private hospital between September 2 and October 10, 2024. The sample size, which was known before the study, was determined by power analysis. Data were collected using a personal information form, a patient safety attitude scale, and a pressure ulcer prevention attitude scale. Descriptive statistics (frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations) were used to analyze the data. Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to compare groups. The correlational relationship between the patient safety attitude scale and the pressure injury prevention attitude scale was evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis. The predictors of all subdimensions of the nurses' attitudes toward pressure injury prevention scale were evaluated by stepwise multiple linear regression analysis. Findings The mean age of the operating room nurses (56.9%) who participated in the study was between 20 and 30 years, 63.7% were female, 77.5% had a bachelor's degree, 39.2% had worked for less than 5 years, and 92.2% were scrub nurses. A high school education and less than 5 years of experience were found to be negative predictors of attitudes toward pressure injury prevention. Working conditions, job satisfaction, and teamwork subdimensions of the patient safety attitude scale were found to be significant predictors of attitudes toward pressure injury prevention. Conclusions The findings of the study revealed that operating room nurses' attitudes toward patient safety and the prevention of pressure injuries were significantly related to variables such as educational level, professional experience, job satisfaction, teamwork, and safety climate. © 2025 The American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses.

    Does Prolotherapy Have an Effect on the Care of Pressure Injuries? a Pilot Study
    (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Eroglu, Nermin; Kokkiz, Rukiye; Eroglu, Hatice Eda; Kocoglu, Hasan
    Background: This study contributes to wound healing with prolotherapy in people with pressure injuries. The study was planned and conducted as a randomized controlled trial to determine the effect of prolotherapy on the care of pressure injuries. Methods: The study was carried out with patients with pressure injuries in the intensive care unit of a city hospital between April and June 2023. A power analysis was performed, and the sample size was calculated as 20 patients, including 10 in the intervention and 10 in the control group. The patients in the experimental group were given wound care with gelofusine as prolotherapy in the morning and evening for three days, and the injury site was covered with a sterile sponge and fixation tape. The patients in the control group were treated with saline in the morning and evening for three days. In both groups, the wound width, depth, and length were measured and evaluated prior to each intervention for three days. Results: In the study, a significant difference was found between the mean ages of the participants in the experimental and control groups (p < 0.05). The decrease in width measurements in the experimental group was found to be statistically significant compared to the previous measurements, while the increase in width measurements in the control group was significant compared to the previous measurements (p < 0.05). Depth measurements decreased statistically significantly in the experimental group, while they increased significantly in the control group compared to previous measurement values (p < 0.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, it was determined that the administration of gelofusine for pressure injuries as prolotherapy in the experimental group may be more effective in wound healing than saline treatment applied in the control group. Further studies are warranted.
