Study design Focus group qualitative study. Objectives To explore factors affecting adherence to behaviours appropriate for the prevention of pressure injuries (PIs) in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) in Malaysia. Setting University Hospital, Malaysia Methods Four sets of focus group interviews were conducted, each with 5-10 participants, totalling 30 people with SCI. A trained interviewer used structured interviews designed to explore participants' experiences of complying with recommended behaviours for the prevention of PIs. All interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed, and analysed utilising thematic analysis. Results The factors that affected participants' adherence are classified into four main themes: (a) educational aspects, (b) internal drive, (c) social and environmental factors, and (d) post-SCI physiological changes. Conclusions This qualitative study provides initial exploratory evidence regarding the thoughts, experience, and opinions pertaining to PI preventive behaviours within the Malaysian SCI population. The emerging themes contribute to an in-depth understanding of the competency of the Malaysian healthcare system in PI prevention, personal and societal factors influenced by the socio-demographic backgrounds, and disease-related factors that influence the adherence to such preventive interventions.
