Nurses' knowledge and attitude are critical for pressure injury (PI) prevention. However, to date, there has been little research carried out on the knowledge and attitude of Indonesian nurses regarding PI prevention in hospital settings, and no study has investigated the predictors of knowledge and attitude of Indonesian nurses regarding PI prevention. This study therefore aims to investigate knowledge and attitude, and to identify the predictors of knowledge and attitude regarding PI prevention among Indonesian nurses in hospital settings.
A cross-sectional study was conducted between 1st November 2021 and 5th March 2022. A total of 563 nurses from three general hospitals in Central Java Province participated. The Pressure Ulcer Knowledge Assessment Tool 2.0 and the Attitude Pressure Ulcer Prevention questionnaires were used. A multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the predictors of nurses' knowledge and attitude regarding PI prevention.
The percentage of correct answers was 35.02%, indicating poor knowledge, while the percentage of nurses' attitudes was 75.46%, indicating a satisfactory attitude. The predictors of knowledge of PI prevention were found to be age (β = -0.127, p = 0.025), level of education (β = 0.153, p = 0.001) and income (β = 0.107, p = 0.021), while the predictors of attitude toward PI prevention were level of education (β = 0.101, p = 0.020) and professional position (β = 0.093, p = 0.033).
This is the first study to identify the predictors of attitude and knowledge regarding PI prevention in Indonesian nurses in a hospital setting. The results indicate a need for appropriate educational training based on the predictors to be given to Indonesian nurses working in hospital settings to increase their knowledge of PI prevention.
护士的知识和态度对于压疮(PI)预防至关重要。然而,迄今为止,针对印度尼西亚护士在医院环境中预防 PI 的知识和态度的研究很少,并且没有研究调查印度尼西亚护士预防 PI 的知识和态度的预测因素。因此,本研究旨在调查印度尼西亚护士在医院环境中预防 PI 的知识和态度,并确定其知识和态度的预测因素。
本研究采用横断面研究,于 2021 年 11 月 1 日至 2022 年 3 月 5 日进行,共纳入来自中爪哇省 3 家综合医院的 563 名护士。使用压疮知识评估工具 2.0 和预防压疮态度问卷。采用多元线性回归分析确定护士预防 PI 知识和态度的预测因素。
正确答案的百分比为 35.02%,表明知识水平较差,而护士对 PI 预防的态度百分比为 75.46%,表明态度满意。PI 预防知识的预测因素是年龄(β=-0.127,p=0.025)、教育水平(β=0.153,p=0.001)和收入(β=0.107,p=0.021),而 PI 预防态度的预测因素是教育水平(β=0.101,p=0.020)和职业地位(β=0.093,p=0.033)。
这是第一项确定印度尼西亚护士在医院环境中预防 PI 的知识和态度的预测因素的研究。结果表明,需要根据预测因素为在医院工作的印度尼西亚护士提供适当的教育培训,以提高他们预防 PI 的知识。
