ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on understanding how to better manage and prevent pressure injuries, which are painful sores that can develop when someone stays in one position for too long. The goal is to help caregivers—those who assist patients with pressure injuries—by providing them with clear information and support. Currently, many caregivers feel unsure about how to care for patients with these injuries, so the study aims to create personalized plans for each patient and their caregiver to improve care and outcomes.

To join the trial, participants must be aged 20 or older and have a caregiver. They should have been diagnosed with a pressure injury that is at least grade 1 but not more than grade 3. It's important to note that those with multiple serious health conditions or specific urgent medical issues may not be eligible. Participants can expect to receive tailored guidance on managing pressure injuries and to be part of a supportive environment designed to enhance their caregiving skills and confidence.
