In this study, we look at the role of nurses in dealing with sickle cell disease (SCD) patients in Jazan city.
The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge of nurses and their attitudes toward SCD patients in Jazan hospitals, Saudi Arabia.
In this cross-sectional, hospital-based study, based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, we recruited 240 nurses from Prince Mohammed bin Nasser and Jazan general hospitals in Jazan city, Saudi Arabia. We depend on the validity and reliability of the instrument that were done by the author who prepared the tool of the primary research, and data management processing was incorporated. Statistical analysis was performed with the obtained data.
In this study, 24.2% of males and 75.8% of females were included. Of these, 40.4% of nurses between 35 and 40 years of age. About 50.4% has 10-15 years of working experience. 5% of the study participants' salary is equal to 5000 SR which is the lower salary in the group of the participants. Also, 54.6% of nurses had a bachelor's degree, 32.9% had a diploma, and only 12.5% had a master's degree. Approximately 65% of nurses were married. Around 52% of nurses knew that SCD patients should have daily intake of 3 l of liquid and 44% of them recommended pop, juice, and broth. Among the sociodemographic variables, gender and income source were associated with attitude and knowledge scales, whereas among nurses' groups, only marital status was associated ( < 0.05). Also, among the sociodemographic variables of nurses, There is statistically significant relation between the nurses' knowledge and attitude and the demographic characteristics such as income levels, marital status and experiences as revealed by P.vale <0.05. In this study, 72.5% of nurses had poor knowledge score levels and 27.5% had good knowledge.
This study concludes that the average total knowledge score was 8.41 and only 27.5% of nurses had good knowledge about SCD in Jazan region. This study also suggests increasing educational interventions, which could aid in improving nurses' knowledge and attitudes toward SCD. It is recommended to conduct a similar study with a large number of professionals in order to generalize the findings.
在本研究中，我们探讨了沙特阿拉伯吉赞市护士在护理镰状细胞病（SCD）患者方面的作用。
本研究旨在确定沙特阿拉伯吉赞市医院护士对SCD患者的了解程度及其态度。
在这项基于医院的横断面研究中，根据纳入和排除标准，我们从沙特阿拉伯吉赞市的穆罕默德·本·纳赛尔王子医院和吉赞综合医院招募了240名护士。我们依赖于主要研究工具作者所做的工具的有效性和可靠性，并纳入了数据管理处理。对获得的数据进行统计分析。
在本研究中，男性占24.2%，女性占75.8%。其中，35至40岁的护士占40.4%。约50.4%的护士有10至15年的工作经验。研究参与者中5%的工资等于5000沙特里亚尔，这是参与者群体中的较低工资。此外，54.6%的护士拥有学士学位，32.9%拥有文凭，只有12.5%拥有硕士学位。约65%的护士已婚。约52%的护士知道SCD患者每天应摄入3升液体，其中44%的护士推荐汽水、果汁和肉汤。在社会人口统计学变量中，性别和收入来源与态度和知识量表相关，而在护士群体中，只有婚姻状况相关（P<0.05）。此外，在护士的社会人口统计学变量中，护士的知识和态度与收入水平、婚姻状况和工作经验等人口统计学特征之间存在统计学显著关系，P值<0.05表明了这一点。在本研究中，72.5%的护士知识得分水平较差，27.5%的护士知识水平良好。
本研究得出结论，吉赞地区护士的平均总知识得分为8.41，只有27.5%的护士对SCD有良好的了解。本研究还建议增加教育干预措施，这有助于提高护士对SCD的知识和态度。建议与大量专业人员进行类似研究，以便推广研究结果。
