Objectives

Narrative objectives1

This study aims to verify the impact of an educational intervention on Medical Device Related Pressure Ulcers (MDRPU) delivered through a society-sponsored training programe for healthcare professionals involved in the care of patients using lower-limb orthoses.
The educational intervention will be compared between an immediate participation group (face-to-face training group) and a waitlist control group receiving the programe via ondemand training.
The study aims to assess the effects of the intervention on: Awareness and subjective knowledge regarding MDRPU, as well as self-efficacy for MDRPU prevention (primary outcome measures), Changes in preventive behaviours related to MDRPU during the post-training follow-up period (secondary outcome measures).

Interventions/Control_1

The group receiving immediate educational intervention on pressure ulcers related to lower limb orthoses and associated medical devices (face-to-face participants constitute the group receiving immediate educational intervention, with assessments conducted at three time points: pre-training (T0), immediately post-training (T1), and one month post-training (T2))

Interventions/Control_2

Participants in the on-demand training programme will be assigned a one month waiting period between the conclusion of the forum and the commencement of on-demand training. During this period (prior to training commencement), assessments equivalent to those conducted for face-to-face participants (T0, T1) will be administered at the same time points (W0, W1). The waiting period is designated as a non-intervention control period. Subsequently, assessments are conducted before the on-demand training commences (D0), immediately after the training concludes (D1), and one month after the training concludes (D2).
