The purpose of this study was conducted to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses about oral and dental care in hospitalized patients.
In this descriptive-analytic study, the statistical population included 214 nurses working in the ICU of the affiliated hospitals of Isfahan University in 1394. The level of knowledge, attitude, and practice of ICU nurses was assessed using questionnaires whose justifiability and stability were verified at the beginning of the study with a pilot study. Data were entered into SPSS software and tested by -test, Spearman, one-way variance, and least significant difference test. The significance level was < 0.05.
The data of this study showed that the score of knowledge and performance in male nurses was significantly different from female nurses. There was a significant relationship between nurse's education and their knowledge score ( < 0.001). Furthermore, the performance score of nurses working in different parts was different too ( < 0.001).
The findings showed that the knowledge and performance of female nurses about oral care were higher than men, but the attitude of the two sexes is almost the same. Nurses with lower educational degree had less knowledge, but their attitude and performance did not differ. The performance score of nurses working in ICU was different, but they had similar knowledge and attitudes.
本研究旨在评估重症监护病房(ICU)护士对住院患者口腔和牙齿护理的知识、态度及实践情况。
在这项描述性分析研究中,统计总体包括2015年在伊斯法罕大学附属医院ICU工作的214名护士。通过问卷调查评估ICU护士的知识、态度和实践水平,在研究开始时通过预试验验证问卷的合理性和稳定性。数据录入SPSS软件,并通过t检验、Spearman检验、单因素方差分析和最小显著差检验进行分析。显著性水平为<0.05。
本研究数据显示,男护士的知识得分和实践得分与女护士有显著差异。护士的教育程度与其知识得分之间存在显著关系(<0.001)。此外,在不同科室工作的护士的实践得分也不同(<0.001)。
研究结果表明,女护士在口腔护理方面的知识和实践高于男护士,但两性的态度几乎相同。教育程度较低的护士知识较少,但其态度和实践并无差异。在ICU工作的护士的实践得分不同,但他们的知识和态度相似。
