To determine the knowledge levels of nurses working in the ICU about incontinence-associated dermatitis (IAD).
A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in adult ICUs at two private and three public hospitals in a province in Turkey. The study included 296 nurses who agreed to participate in the research. Researchers used the "Nurse Identification Form" and the "IAD Knowledge Test" to collect data on nurses' IAD knowledge. Data analysis included the use of percentage distribution and the Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman correlation tests.
The mean age of the nurses was 26.55 ± 3.89 years (range, 20-47 years), and the duration of working in the ICU was 2.71 ± 2.55 years (range, 1-22 years). Of the nurses, 183 (61.8%) worked in general ICUs. Of those, 69 (23.3%) received IAD training. Nurses achieved a 49.8% correct response rate on the IAD knowledge test. Nurses working in tertiary and general ICUs demonstrated higher IAD knowledge levels (Ps = .003 and .047, respectively). There were no relationships between age, career length, institution, ICU type, and IAD knowledge level.
Nurses' knowledge level of IAD was low in intensive care. To remedy this, IAD should be added to intensive care nursing certificate programs as content, and the use of IAD risk assessment and diagnosis scales in ICUs should be expanded.
了解 ICU 护士失禁相关性皮炎（IAD）知识水平。
在土耳其一家省的两家私立和三家公立医院的成人 ICU 中进行了一项描述性横断面研究。研究纳入了 296 名同意参与研究的护士。研究人员使用“护士识别表”和“IAD 知识测试”收集护士 IAD 知识数据。数据分析包括使用百分比分布以及 Mann-Whitney U、Kruskal-Wallis 和 Spearman 相关检验。
护士的平均年龄为 26.55 ± 3.89 岁（范围 20-47 岁），在 ICU 工作的时间为 2.71 ± 2.55 年（范围 1-22 年）。其中 183 名（61.8%）护士在综合 ICU 工作，69 名（23.3%）接受过 IAD 培训。护士在 IAD 知识测试中的正确回答率为 49.8%。在三级和综合 ICU 工作的护士具有更高的 IAD 知识水平（P 值分别为.003 和.047）。护士的年龄、职业年限、机构、ICU 类型与 IAD 知识水平之间无相关性。
在重症监护中，护士对 IAD 的知识水平较低。为了解决这一问题，应将 IAD 添加到重症监护护理证书课程中，并在 ICU 中扩大使用 IAD 风险评估和诊断量表。
