Abstract
Pressure injuries (PIs) are important health problems all over the world because of their serious effects. Awareness of PIs and their effects has increased in recent years. Since patients’ relatives are part of the care team, they have an important role to play in the prevention of PIs. The most crucial aspect of the prevention of PIs is the education of healthcare professionals, patients and patients’ relatives and caregivers. This study aimed to educate caregivers on the prevention of PIs through the development of a digital game. With this purpose, we developed and used a technological education approach —a digital game— that employs gamification methods.

Ostomy/Wound Management was founded in March of 1980 as "Ostomy Management." In 1985, this small journal dramatically expanded its content and readership by embracing the overlapping disciplines of ostomy care, wound care, incontinence care, and related skin and nutritional issues and became the premier journal of its kind. Ostomy/Wound Managements" readers include healthcare professionals from multiple disciplines. Today, our readers benefit from contemporary and comprehensive review and research papers that are practical, clinically oriented, and cutting edge. Each published article undergoes a rigorous double-blind peer review by members of both the Editorial Advisory Board and the Ad-Hoc Peer Review Panel.
