In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Community-acquired pressure injuries are pressure injuries that developed outside of hospital, typically in the patient's own home environment. Pressure injuries (PI) used to be commonly known as bedsores or pressure ulcers. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if a community-based pressure injury (PI) care bundle is effective in treating and preventing pressure injuries in home settings. It will also assess how feasible it is to implement this care bundle in Singapore's community care context. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the PI care bundle help improve pressure injury healing (shown by at least a 3-point reduction on the PUSH score)? 2. Can the care bundle prevent the development of new pressure injuries? 3. How well do caregivers learn and apply PI care knowledge after receiving the educational intervention? 4. How practical and acceptable is this car
