Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: Pressure injuries (PIs) are prevalent in palliative care. Lack of knowledge and skills among informal caregivers on PI prevention and management contributes significantly to the occurance or deterioration of PIs.
UNASSIGNED: The aims of this study were to: (1) determine the level of knowledge and practices of informal caregivers on PI prevention and treatment; (2) explore the socio-demographic characteristics of informal caregivers that influence PI prevention and treatment among patients who need palliative care.
UNASSIGNED: The quantitative cross-sectional descriptive design was used to collect data from 146 informal caregivers, and a valid and reliable questionnaire was used.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 146 informal caregivers of patients with PI completed the study. Most participants had a relatively low level of PI prevention, treatment knowledge and practice. Participants who were older than 28 years, working for the government and married had significantly better knowledge and practice of PI prevention and treatment than other participants.
UNASSIGNED: Information for informal caregivers in different settings about PI prevention and treatment is needed. Informal caregivers need to acquire more professional practices and knowledge to improve the quality of patient care.

摘要：
■压力性损伤（PI）在姑息治疗中很普遍。非正式护理人员缺乏PI预防和管理方面的知识和技能，这在很大程度上导致了PI的发生或恶化。
■这项研究的目的是：（1）确定非正式护理人员对PI预防和治疗的知识和实践水平；（2）探讨非正式护理人员的社会人口统计学特征，这些特征会影响需要姑息治疗的患者的PI预防和治疗。
■定量横截面描述性设计用于收集146名非正式护理人员的数据，并使用有效可靠的问卷。
■共有146名PI患者的非正式护理人员完成了这项研究。大多数参与者的PI预防水平相对较低，治疗知识和实践。28岁以上的参与者，与其他参与者相比，为政府工作和已婚人士在PI预防和治疗方面的知识和实践明显更好。
■需要为不同环境中的非正式护理人员提供有关PI预防和治疗的信息。非正式护理人员需要获得更多的专业实践和知识，以提高患者护理质量。
