Pre and post test scores

The study was conducted among 320 nurses
working in a tertiary care teaching hospital from March 2023 until June 2023 after
institutional ethical committee approval (IEC No. 02/2023/46). All the nurses who
were directly involved in patient care were recruited for the study after obtaining their
informed consent. Qualified nurses who were willing to participate were included, and
those who did not complete the post-test were excluded from the study.
We used the PZ-PUKT questionnaire (2021 version) for data collection. The
questionnaire was given to all the nurses in an electronic format one week before the
commencement of classes, which was considered as the pre-test. The standard PZPUKT scale was administered according to the guidelines provided by the authors.
To limit the number of mistakes and missing questions when using the paper form,
the scale was tested using electronic form. Out of the 72 questions, 21 dealt with
staging, 20 with wounds, and 31 with prevention. There were 42 true questions and
30 false ones. The 72 items were scored individually for each segment, and a
cumulative score was also computed. Questions were given a score of 1 for the
correct answer. A score of 0 was given if the answer was wrong or marked as "don't
