The main aim of the study was to identify the knowledge and attitudes of nurses towards pressure ulcer prevention in a major public hospital in Cyprus.
A descriptive and cross-sectional study design was used to collect the data between December 2014 and February 2015, the sample consisted of n = 102 nurses employed in a major public hospital in Cyprus. Customised and standardised Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Test and an attitudes Likert questionnaire was used to investigate both parameters. Descriptive and inferential statistics, parametric (t-test), non-parametric tests (Mann-Whitney U) and Pearson test was applied. Statistical significance was set at p = 0.05.
The majority of the participants (44.1%) n = 45 were employed in the intensive care unit, were female (61.8%) n = 63, registered nurses (93.1%) n = 95, had more than 5 years of experience (59.4%) n = 32 and 10.8% (n = 11) had a postgraduate title. The mean value regarding the knowledge questionnaire was 16.16, IQR: 17(15-18) correct answers 77%. In the attitudes questionnaire the median value was 41.82, IQR: 43 (40-46). Knowledge and attitudes correlated positively and statistically significantly (Pearson's R = 0,223, p = 0,019).
The result suggests that nurses had relatively inadequate knowledge levels and positive attitudes, attitudes and knowledges correlated statistically significantly and positively. It is proposed that through the development of educational programs and the frequent measurement of the two parameters further improvement can be achieved.
本研究的主要目的是确定塞浦路斯一家大型公立医院护士对压疮预防的知识和态度。
采用描述性横断面研究设计于2014年12月至2015年2月收集数据，样本包括塞浦路斯一家大型公立医院的102名护士。使用定制的标准化压疮知识测试和态度李克特问卷来调查这两个参数。应用描述性和推断性统计、参数检验（t检验）、非参数检验（曼-惠特尼U检验）和皮尔逊检验。设定统计学显著性水平为p = 0.05。
大多数参与者（44.1%，n = 45）受雇于重症监护病房，女性（61.8%，n = 63），注册护士（93.1%，n = 95），有超过5年工作经验（59.4%，n = 32），10.8%（n = 11）拥有研究生学历。知识问卷的平均值为16.16，四分位间距：17（15 - 18），正确答案占77%。态度问卷的中位数为41.82，四分位间距：43（40 - 46）。知识与态度呈正相关且具有统计学显著性（皮尔逊相关系数R = 0.223，p = 0.019）。
结果表明护士的知识水平相对不足但态度积极，态度与知识在统计学上呈显著正相关。建议通过开展教育项目并频繁测量这两个参数来进一步改善情况。
