To determine attitudes and levels of knowledge related to pressure injury (PI) prevention among operating room nurses and identify associated factors.
This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in Turkey with a sample of 112 operating room nurses recruited by the snowball method of convenience sampling. Data were collected online via Google Forms using a nurse data collection form, the Knowledge of Operating Room Nurses about Pressure Injuries Form, and the Attitude Towards Pressure Ulcer Prevention Instrument (APuP).
The operating room nurses' mean score for PI knowledge was 52.19 ± 17.01 out of 100, and their mean total APuP score was 42.28 ± 5.19 out of 52. Knowledge about PIs was negatively associated with being male (β = -0.287, p < 0.001) and positively associated with intervening to prevent PIs during surgery (β = 0.214, p = 0.008), using international PI guidelines as a reference in the operating room (β = -0.225, p = 0.005), and APuP score (β=.415, p < 0.001). Intervening to prevent PIs during surgery (β = 0.294, p = 0.003) was a significant predictor of attitude toward PI prevention.
Our results indicate that overall, operating room nurses have insufficient knowledge but positive attitudes about PI prevention. Female gender, using international PI reference guides in the operating room, and positive attitude toward PI prevention were identified as factors associated with higher PI knowledge level, while intervening to prevent PIs during surgery was positively associated with both knowledge level and attitude toward PI prevention.
旨在确定手术室护士对压疮（PI）预防的态度和知识水平，并确定相关因素。
本研究为描述性、横断面研究，在土耳其进行，采用便利抽样的雪球抽样方法从 112 名手术室护士中抽取样本。通过 Google 表单在线收集数据，使用护士数据收集表、手术室护士对压疮的知识量表和压疮预防态度量表（APuP）。
手术室护士的 PI 知识平均得分为 100 分中的 52.19±17.01 分，其 APuP 总分平均得分为 52 分中的 42.28±5.19 分。PI 知识与性别呈负相关（β=-0.287，p<0.001），与在手术期间干预以预防 PI 呈正相关（β=0.214，p=0.008），与在手术室中使用国际 PI 指南作为参考呈负相关（β=-0.225，p=0.005），与 APuP 得分呈正相关（β=0.415，p<0.001）。在手术期间干预以预防 PI（β=0.294，p=0.003）是预防 PI 态度的一个显著预测因素。
我们的结果表明，总体而言，手术室护士对 PI 预防的知识水平不足，但态度积极。女性、在手术室中使用国际 PI 参考指南以及对 PI 预防的积极态度被确定为与较高 PI 知识水平相关的因素，而在手术期间干预以预防 PI 与知识水平和对 PI 预防的态度均呈正相关。
