The following Masters of Nursing thesis develops a project aimed to provide nurses with an accessible, comprehensive resource to promote hospital-acquired pressure injury prevention in the Medical/Oncology setting. |
| Abstract |
Hospital-acquired pressure injuries are a significant complication to hospital inpatient oncology care. Due to risk factors, treatments, and chronic conditions, oncology patients in the Medical/Oncology setting present an increased risk for pressure injuries. Nurses are vital in providing pressure injury interventions; however, many nurses do not feel prepared to provide pressure injury interventions for this at-risk population. This MSN project aims to provide nurses with an accessible, comprehensive resource to promote hospital-acquired pressure injury prevention in the Medical/Oncology setting. This project will include an educational E-learning module with adjunct materials to help nurses identify risk factors, interventions, management, and the importance of maintaining skin integrity in oncology patients. The project education will benefit nurses and patients by fostering confidence and providing comprehensive resources to prevent hospital-acquired pressure injuries in oncology patients, reducing associated complications and costs. Recommendations on the implementation and growth of this project are evaluated, and evidence-based research about nurses' perceived preparedness to mitigate hospital-acquired pressure injuries in oncology patients assists in endorsing the importance of this project for future research and use. |
