Study population: The population of the research consists of nurses working in adult intensive care clinics of a public hospital. At the quantitative stage, an attempt will be made to reach the universe. In the qualitative phase of the research, intensive care nurses who agreed to be interviewed during the collection of quantitative data will be included.

Brief summary: This research aims to determine the knowledge levels and practices of intensive care nurses regarding the prevention of pressure sores.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

1. What is the level of knowledge of intensive care nurses regarding the prevention of pressure sores?
2. What is the impact of sociodemographic characteristics of intensive care nurses on their knowledge level regarding the prevention of pressure sores?
3. What are the experiences of intensive care nurses regarding their practices for the prevention of pressure sores? In this research, a survey and interview technique will be applied to determine the knowledge levels and experiences of nurses working in adult intensive care units regarding the prevention of pressure sores and their practices.

Detailed description: This study is a mixed method research conducted to determine the knowledge levels and experiences of nurses working in adult intensive care units regarding the prevention of pressure sores. In accordance with the purpose of the study, parallel data type in convergent parallel mixed design will be used as the research design. The quantitative phase will be conducted as a descriptive survey, and the qualitative phase will be conducted as a descriptive case study design. In this mixed design, equal priority, parallel timing and combining results during interpretation are planned. The research will be conducted with nurses working in adult intensive care units of a public hospital located in a city center. \&#39;Sociodemographic Form\&#39;, \&#39;Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Level Assessment Tool 2.0- Updated Version\&#39;, \&#39;Semi-Structured Interview Form\&#39; will be used as data collection tools. Within the scope of our research questions, quantitative and qualitative data will be analyzed independently of each other. In the discussion section, the integration of quantitative and qualitative evidence will be interpreted by making analytical generalization by combining data without transformation.
