Knowledge of dependence-related skin lesions in caregivers of persons at risk for CRLD measured using the Questionnaire of knowledge of family caregivers about prevention of pressure ulcer and dependence-related skin lesions (COCU-LCRD-23) in Spanish 2. Health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of caregivers of persons at risk for CRLD measured using the EuroQol EQ-5D-5L HRQoL questionnaire 3.
