They developed an educational module and presented it to physicians and students at separate in-person sessions and to clinical care staff at a virtual session. Participants completed an evaluation survey after the education sessions to assess their knowledge and confidence with skin tear management and obtain their feedback about the session.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n The prevalence of skin tears at Baycrest hospital was 5.6%, which was low compared with the values reported in the literature. For the 10 studies reviewed, the median prevalence was 8.8% (range, 3.0%-22.1%). A total of 7 physicians, 12 students, and 7 clinical care staff completed the evaluation survey. All of the physicians (100%), 43% of students, and 57% of clinical care staff could classify an image of a skin tear; 86% of physicians, 33% of students, and 43% of clinical care staff identified the correct skin tear complications; and 71% of physicians, 0% of the students, and 29% of clinical care staff selected the appropriate dressing. Participants reported moderate to considerable increases in knowledge and confidence in skin tear management.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n This method of multidisciplinary teaching on skin tears was well received and useful in enhancing knowledge and confidence in identifying and treating skin tears.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1097\/asw.0000000000000078","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,20]],"date-time":"2023-12-20T15:00:50Z","timestamp":1703084450000},"page":"48-55","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Skin Tear Management: A Multidisciplinary Education Project"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Carol L.
