Abstract

BACKGROUND

The prevalence of venous thromboembolism is steadily increasing in developing nations including Ethiopia. Nurses play a vital role in the prevention of venous thromboembolism. However, the level of nurses' knowledge, practice, and associated factors in venous thromboembolism prevention is not well-known across Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess nurses' knowledge, practice, and associated factors regarding venous-thromboembolism prevention in tertiary Hospitals of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia METHODS: An institutional-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 339 randomly selected nurses working at tertiary hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. A validated questionnaire was used to collect data. Data were analyzed with SPSS version 25. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used to describe and test the association between selected variables.

RESULTS

Out of the total 339 participants, only (51.6%) and (45.4%) had adequate knowledge and practice towards venous thromboembolism prevention respectively. Attending in-service training (AOR=1.701, p = 0.044) was significantly associated with knowledge of VTE prevention. Educational level (AOR= 3.871, P = 0.048), work experience (AOR=5.207, P<0.001), work location (AOR= 0.507, P = 0.019), working department (AOR= 2.959, P = 0.048), knowledge level (AOR= 0.477, P=0.005) were significantly associated with better preventive practice.

CONCLUSION

This study suggests that nurses' level of knowledge and practice towards venous thromboembolism prevention was inadequate. Nurses' educational level, attending in-service training, work experience, work location, and working department were determinant factors associated with nurses' knowledge and practice towards venous thromboembolism prevention. Therefore, upgrading nurses' educational level and providing in-service training on venous thromboembolism prevention is crucial for positive patient outcomes.

摘要

背景

包括埃塞俄比亚在内的发展中国家静脉血栓栓塞症的患病率稳步上升。护士在预防静脉血栓栓塞症方面发挥着至关重要的作用。然而，在埃塞俄比亚，护士在预防静脉血栓栓塞症方面的知识、实践水平及其相关因素尚不清楚。本研究旨在评估埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴三级医院护士预防静脉血栓栓塞症的知识、实践水平及其相关因素。

方法

在埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴的三级医院，对 339 名随机选择的护士进行了基于机构的横断面研究。使用经过验证的问卷收集数据。使用 SPSS 版本 25 对数据进行分析。采用描述性和推断性统计方法来描述和检验选定变量之间的关联。

结果

在总共 339 名参与者中，只有 51.6%和 45.4%对静脉血栓栓塞症预防有足够的知识和实践。参加在职培训（AOR=1.701，p=0.044）与静脉血栓栓塞症预防知识显著相关。教育水平（AOR=3.871，P=0.048）、工作经验（AOR=5.207，P<0.001）、工作地点（AOR=0.507，P=0.019）、工作部门（AOR=2.959，P=0.048）、知识水平（AOR=0.477，P=0.005）与更好的预防实践显著相关。
