Summary

This study tested a mobile app designed to teach caregivers of bedridden patients how to prevent pressure injuries (bedsores). The app included educational modules, daily care tracking, and a way to ask a nurse questions. Researchers wanted to see if using the app for six months would reduce the number of bedsores, lower caregiver burden, and help caregivers cope better with stress. The study involved 46 patient-caregiver pairs in Turkey.
