The knowledge level of nurses plays a key role in preventing medical device-related pressure injuries. This research aimed to investigate the knowledge levels of nurses with regard to medical device-related pressure injuries and the factors affecting these.
This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 355 nurses between December 15, 2020 and March 31, 2021. Data were collected using the Nurse Information Form and the Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries Knowledge Questionnaire.
The mean score of the nurses for the Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries Knowledge Questionnaire was 22.11 ± 5.79. The nurses obtained the highest score from the "Description" sub-dimension of the test, whereas the lowest scores pertained to the "Staging" sub-dimension. Only 23.1% of the nurses stated that they had general knowledge about medical device-related pressure injuries. A significant difference was determined between the mean scores that the nurses got from the Medical Device-Related Pressure Injuries Knowledge Questionnaire and their gender, work experience in the intensive care unit, frequency of encountering a medical device-related pressure injuries and their previous training on such injuries. In addition, a positive relationship was determined between the level of knowledge about medical device-related pressure injuries and age and seniority.
It was concluded that the level of knowledge of nurses about medical device-related pressure injuries was insufficient. We therefore recommend that a regular training program be provided to nurses on medical device-related pressure injuries in order to reduce the incidence of these injuries and to provide a quality and safe care service to patients.
护士的知识水平在预防医疗器械相关性压力损伤中起着关键作用。本研究旨在调查护士对医疗器械相关性压力损伤的知识水平以及影响这些知识水平的因素。
这是一项描述性和横断面研究，于 2020 年 12 月 15 日至 2021 年 3 月 31 日期间对 355 名护士进行了研究。数据通过护士信息表和医疗器械相关性压力损伤知识问卷收集。
护士医疗器械相关性压力损伤知识问卷的平均得分为 22.11±5.79。护士在测试的“描述”子维度中获得了最高分数，而最低分数则与“分期”子维度相关。只有 23.1%的护士表示对医疗器械相关性压力损伤有一般的了解。护士从医疗器械相关性压力损伤知识问卷中获得的平均分数与其性别、在重症监护病房的工作经验、遇到医疗器械相关性压力损伤的频率以及之前对此类损伤的培训存在显著差异。此外，护士对医疗器械相关性压力损伤的知识水平与年龄和资历呈正相关。
护士对医疗器械相关性压力损伤的知识水平不足。因此，我们建议为护士提供关于医疗器械相关性压力损伤的定期培训计划，以降低这些损伤的发生率，并为患者提供优质和安全的护理服务。
