BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Deep venous thrombosis (DVT), the formation of a blood clot within a large vein, is one of the most common problems among hospitalized patients. The annual prevalence of DVT is 48 per 1,000,000. Nurses' knowledge significantly affects compliance with VTE risk assessment and prevention. This study aimed to assess the knowledge and practices regarding deep venous thrombosis prevention among nurses in Ministry of Health hospitals and King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
This study was conducted in Jeddah using a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional design. A sample of 240 registered nurses were conveniently recruited to complete a self-administered online questionnaire. The data were coded and analyzed through SPSS version 24.
The participants had adequate knowledge on the prevention of DVT (75.64 ± 18.88), and the highest level was observed for knowledge about the prevention and prophylaxis of DVT (81.98 ± 45.73%). The practice level of nurses in preventing DVT was 71.92%, with a mean score of 18.7.
There is a significant effect of nurses' level of academic qualifications, working ward, and DVT prevention training on their knowledge and practice of DVT prevention.
背景/目的:深静脉血栓形成(DVT),即大静脉内血栓的形成,是住院患者中最常见的问题之一。DVT的年患病率为每100万人中有48例。护士的知识水平会显著影响其对静脉血栓栓塞症(VTE)风险评估和预防措施的依从性。本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯吉达市卫生部医院和阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学医院(KAUH)护士对深静脉血栓形成预防的知识和实践情况。
本研究在吉达市采用定量、描述性横断面设计。便利抽取240名注册护士完成一份自填式在线问卷。数据通过SPSS 24版进行编码和分析。
参与者对DVT预防有足够的知识(75.64 ± 18.88),其中对DVT预防和 prophylaxis的知识水平最高(81.98 ± 45.73%)。护士预防DVT的实践水平为71.92%,平均得分为18.7。
护士的学历水平、工作病房及DVT预防培训对其DVT预防知识和实践有显著影响。
