BACKGROUND
Pressure ulcers (PU) remain a serious complication of immobile patients and a burden for healthcare professionals. The incidence and prevalence remain alarming. Knowledge and attitudes of nurses play a fundamental role in prevention. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and attitudes of nurses towards the prevention of PU in selected Slovak hospitals and find relationships and differences among selected variables.
METHODS
A quantitative exploratory cross-sectional design was chosen. Validated instruments were used. From the 460 randomly selected nurses, 225 (49%) participated in this research.
RESULTS
Results showed insufficient knowledge (45.5%) and attitudes (67.9%) of nurses towards PU prevention. There was a significant positive correlation found between the knowledge and attitudes (ρ = 0.300; = 0.000). Nurses´ knowledge was significantly different within the level of education ( = 0.031) and work department ( = 0.048).
CONCLUSIONS
Results showed insufficiencies in the knowledge and attitudes of nurses towards PU prevention. Therefore, it is essential to focus on general education and continuing education and practice of nurses. Further development of educational programs and frequent measurement of these two parameters can lead to a significant improvement in the quality of care provided.
背景
压疮（PU）仍然是卧床患者的严重并发症，也是医疗保健专业人员的负担。其发病率和患病率仍然令人震惊。护士的知识和态度对预防起着至关重要的作用。本研究旨在确定选定斯洛伐克医院护士对 PU 预防的知识和态度，并发现选定变量之间的关系和差异。
方法
选择了定量探索性横断面设计。使用了经过验证的工具。在随机选择的 460 名护士中，有 225 名（49%）参与了这项研究。
结果
结果表明，护士对预防 PU 的知识（45.5%）和态度（67.9%）不足。研究发现，护士的知识与态度之间存在显著正相关（ρ=0.300； = 0.000）。护士的知识在教育水平（ = 0.031）和工作部门（ = 0.048）之间存在显著差异。
结论
结果表明，护士对预防 PU 的知识和态度不足。因此，必须重视对护士的一般教育和继续教育以及实践。进一步开发教育计划，并经常测量这两个参数，可以显著提高提供的护理质量。
