About this trial
Education and counseling of patients and caregivers, either face-to-face or using various communication technologies, are reported to have significant effects. Nurses are in a key position in the education and counseling of patients and their relatives for the prevention of pressure injury. Although the share of health technologies in the management of pressure injury is important, it is also important for nurses to use these technologies. Web-based education, which is a part of health technologies, is defined as an education and training program created by using the features of internet and computer technologies.
