Abstract

Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of knowledge and self-efficacy in pressure injury care on its performance among home visit nursing workers in the long-term care insurance system.
Methods
This study used a descriptive correlational design and was conducted from March 30 to July 15, 2024. Data were collected through an online survey platform (Google Forms) using self-reported questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, an independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis with IBM SPSS 27.0.
Results
A total of 142 home visit nursing workers employed in the long-term care insurance system participated in the survey. Self-efficacy in pressure injury care was found to be positively and significantly correlated with knowledge of pressure injury care (r=.27, p=.001), and the performance of pressure injury care showed a statistically significant positive correlations with self-efficacy in pressure injury care (r=.33, p<.001). A multiple regression analysis revealed that the factors significantly related to the performance of pressure injury care included previous clinical setting (β=.33, p<.001), and self-efficacy in pressure injury care (β=.27, p=.004).
Conclusion
This study suggests that developing an intervention program to enhance self-efficacy in pressure injury care is necessary to improve the performance of pressure injury care provided by home visit nursing workers in the long-term care insurance system.
