Only one of them offers a Spanish version. The 2 most used in published studies are: Pieper Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test (PPKUT) and Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool (PUKAT). The psychometric evaluation data (reliability and validity) of these instruments have also been analysed, so that they may be useful in future research.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The article can be read (Open access) in:\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gerokomos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/30-2-2019-098.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">L\u00f3pez-Franco, MD; Pancorbo-Hidalgo, PL.
