This quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent control group non-synchronized design aimed to develop and implement a video education program using the ADDIE model based on a medical device-related pressure injuries prevention protocol for clinical nurses in a comprehensive nursing care service unit and examine differences in the knowledge of medical device-related pressure injury prevention, self-efficacy in pressure injury nursing care, and educational satisfaction before and after the video education program and determine its effects on the variables. The participants were nurses who had worked for > 6 months in a comprehensive nursing care service unit at a general hospital located in S City, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. The total number of the participants, excluding dropouts, was 62; 31 in the experimental group and 31 in the control group. To prevent the diffusion of testing effect, the control group was educated using a booklet after a pre-survey on September 6, 2024 and post-survey on September 12. The experimental group was educated using a booklet and an approximately 1 min-long, 12-protocol video education program after a pre-survey on September 13, followed by a post-survey on September 19, 2024. The collected data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS Windows program. The homogeneity test was analyzed using χ2 test, Fisher’s exact test, and the normality test for the pretest variables was analyzed using Shapiro–Wilk test. The data were analyzed using real number, percentage, mean and standard deviation, Mann–Whitney U test, two-way repeated ANOVA, and independent t-test. The mean pre- and posttest scores for the knowledge of medical device-related pressure injury prevention in the experimental group who participated in the video education program on protocol-based medical device-related pressure injury prevention was 19.45±2.25 and 21.77±1.54 points, respectively. Additionally , the mean pre- and posttest scores in the control group who participated in the booklet education was 19.52±1.33 and 20.68±1.27 points, respectively. Knowledge of medical device-related pressure injury prevention between both groups had a statistically significant difference (F=7.99, p=.006). In the experimental group, the mean pre- and posttest scores for self-efficacy in pressure injury nursing care were 18.48±3.25 21.77±1.54, respectively, whereas that of the control group were 18.81±3.55 and 20.68±1.27, respectively . Self-efficacy in pressure injury nursing care between both groups had no statistically significant difference (F=2.13, p=.149). However, the experimental (t=5.09, p<.001) and control (t=2.58, p=.018) groups showed a significant increase in the posttest score compared to the pretest score. The mean scores for educational satisfaction in the experimental and control groups were 30.19±3.37 and 31.39±3.12 points, respectively. However, there was no statistically significant difference between both groups (t=-1.44, p=.154). The study results showed that the video education program on protocol-based medical device-related pressure injury prevention was effective in improving knowledge on medical device-related pressure injury prevention. Based on this finding, it is necessary to develop educational programs suitable for nursing of skin wounds and the prevention of medical device-related pressure injuries, and verify their effects. Additionally, this was a short-term study, and future studies are needed to evaluate the effects of the programs longitudinally after the concerned programs are used. It is necessary to develop and apply educational programs expanding the types of medical devices eventually so that they can be extendedly applied to nurses in various medical environments.
