Impact of interactive learning on nurses' ability to identify and stage pressure injuries

Hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) are recognized as preventable harm and are a nursing quality outcome measure used to evaluate the efficacy of nursing care. The development of pressure injuries (PIs) contributes to increased hospitalized patients’ morbidity, mortality, and length of hospital stay. Costs for treating HAPIs are staggering due to non-reimbursed treatment costs, prolonged hospitalization, and potential litigation fees. Nurses must perform an in-depth skin integrity assessment at the time of patient admission.
