To evaluate the perioperative health care professionals' knowledge of evidence-based inadvertent perioperative hypothermia management.
A descriptive, cross-sectional study.
The research sample consisted of 219 perioperative nurses and anesthesia technicians working in the university hospital and participating in perioperative care. Data were collected by the researchers using a questionnaire that included descriptive characteristics of health care professionals and inadvertent perioperative hypothermia management between March and April 2021. Descriptive statistics, Shapiro-Wilk normality, Kruskal Wallis, Mann Whitney U, and Spearman correlation test were used to analyze the data.
In this study, only 29.2% of the health care professionals knew that the threshold value for inadvertent perioperative hypothermia was <36 °C. The mean knowledge score of health care professionals on the management of inadvertent perioperative hypothermia was 13.78 ± 3.47. The knowledge score of 79.5% of health care professionals was moderate level. A significant correlation was determined between inadvertent perioperative hypothermia management knowledge score and education status (P = .032), task (P < .001), and mean years in the profession (P = .02).
The knowledge of the health care professionals working in the perioperative process about evidence-based practices related to inadvertent perioperative hypothermia management was determined to be moderate. We recommend increasing the level of knowledge of health care professionals by providing education on guidelines regarding inadvertent perioperative hypothermia management.
评估围手术期医护人员对基于证据的意外围手术期低体温管理的了解程度。
描述性、横断面研究。
研究样本由 219 名在大学医院工作并参与围手术期护理的围手术期护士和麻醉技师组成。研究人员于 2021 年 3 月至 4 月期间使用包括医护人员描述性特征和意外围手术期低体温管理的问卷收集数据。使用描述性统计、Shapiro-Wilk 正态性检验、Kruskal Wallis 检验、Mann Whitney U 检验和 Spearman 相关检验对数据进行分析。
在这项研究中，只有 29.2%的医护人员知道意外围手术期低体温的阈值值是<36°C。医护人员对意外围手术期低体温管理的平均知识得分是 13.78±3.47。79.5%的医护人员的知识得分处于中等水平。医护人员对意外围手术期低体温管理知识得分与教育程度（P=0.032）、任务（P<0.001）和专业平均年限（P=0.02）之间存在显著相关性。
从事围手术期工作的医护人员对意外围手术期低体温管理相关循证实践的了解程度被确定为中等。我们建议通过提供关于意外围手术期低体温管理指南的教育来提高医护人员的知识水平。
