Nurses in intensive care units (ICUs) are vulnerable to sick building syndrome (SBS), which can affect their health, performance, and patient safety. Understanding SBS is crucial in healthcare to protect both staff and patients. However, many ICU nurses lack knowledge about this condition and the necessary detection tools.
This study aimed to describe ICU nurses' knowledge about SBS and the need of an instrument to detect the signs and symptoms of SBS.
A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 100 ICU nurses, recruited through simple random sampling from the Critical Care Indonesia Nurse Association. The study focused on nurses' knowledge of SBS and the need for an instrument to detect it. Research instruments included basic respondent characteristics, nurses' knowledge, and the need for an SBS detection tool. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
The majority of respondents exhibited a good level of knowledge (66%), yet many answered questions incorrectly regarding SBS etiology, symptoms, and effects. This was exemplified by incorrect responses attributing noise and chemicals as causes of SBS, overlooking fatigue as a symptom, and inaccurately assessing the physical effects of SBS. Notably, nurses demonstrated strong knowledge regarding SBS prevention (71%) and treatment (94%). Respondents unanimously supported the necessity of an instrument capable of detecting SBS among ICU nurses (71%), with an electronic instrument being the preferred option over other forms.
ICU nurses possess a good level of knowledge about SBS. It is recommended to develop and investigate an electronic-based instrument for detecting SBS. Additionally, implementing an e-learning educational program could further enhance the knowledge and management of SBS among healthcare professionals.
重症监护病房（ICU）的护士易患“病态建筑综合症”（SBS），这会影响他们的健康、工作表现及患者安全。在医疗保健领域，了解SBS对于保护医护人员和患者都至关重要。然而，许多ICU护士对这种病症以及必要的检测工具缺乏了解。
本研究旨在描述ICU护士对SBS的了解情况以及对一种用于检测SBS体征和症状的工具的需求。
采用横断面研究，从印度尼西亚重症护理护士协会通过简单随机抽样选取了100名ICU护士作为样本。该研究聚焦于护士对SBS的了解以及对检测SBS工具的需求。研究工具包括基本的受访者特征、护士的知识以及对SBS检测工具的需求。数据采用描述性统计进行分析。
大多数受访者表现出较好的知识水平（66%），但许多人在关于SBS的病因、症状和影响的问题上回答错误。例如，将噪音和化学物质错误地归因于SBS的原因，忽视疲劳作为一种症状，以及对SBS的身体影响评估不准确。值得注意的是，护士在SBS预防（71%）和治疗（94%）方面表现出较强的知识。受访者一致支持需要一种能够在ICU护士中检测SBS的工具（71%），电子工具比其他形式更受青睐。
ICU护士对SBS有较好的了解水平。建议开发并研究一种基于电子的SBS检测工具。此外，实施电子学习教育项目可以进一步提高医疗专业人员对SBS的知识和管理水平。
