摘要

Background

This study aimed to analyze latent profiles and characteristics of nurses’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding pressure injury (PI) prevention, as well as influencing factors across distinct profiles.

Methods

A convenience sampling method was employed to recruit nurses from hospitals at various tiers in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region between July and August 2024. Data were collected using a General Information Questionnaire and a Nurse PI-KAP Questionnaire. Latent profile analysis (LPA) identified distinct PI-KAP profiles, while univariate analysis and multinomial logistic regression determined profile-specific influencing factors.

Results

Among 17,253 enrolled nurses, the total PI-KAP score was 63.44 ± 7.69. Three latent profiles emerged: low-level PI-KAP (12.82%), moderate-level PI-KAP (52.23%), and high-level PI-KAP (34.95%). Multinomial logistic regression revealed that hospital tier, years of experience, education level, professional title, gender, and attitudes toward PI training significantly influenced PI-KAP profiles (p < .05).

Conclusion

Heterogeneity exists in nurses’ PI-KAP profiles, with a substantial proportion demonstrating suboptimal competency. Nursing administrators should establish hierarchical training systems tailored to PI-KAP characteristics. Capacity-building strategies include prioritizing training for core nurses, optimizing resource allocation, and establishing tiered hospital assistance mechanisms to enhance team-based PI prevention capabilities.
