Medical device-related pressure injuries: The mediating role of attitude in the relationship between ICU nurses' knowledge levels and self-efficacy
The study found that Turkish ICU nurses' knowledge of MDRPIs was below desired levels, though their self-efficacy was slightly above average and their attitudes were satisfactory. Attitude fully mediated the relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy, suggesting that enhancing nurses' knowledge and attitudes can improve their self-efficacy in managing PIs.
