Summary
This study tested whether online training sessions could help wheelchair users learn how to prevent pressure injuries (also called bedsores). Researchers split 78 wheelchair users into two groups: one received three online training sessions over two weeks, while the other did not. They then compared the groups' knowledge about pressure injury prevention and tracked wound healing in the trained group for 12 weeks.
