Abstract:
Objective To investigate and analyze surgical nurses' knowledge of nursing care for preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) in 2015 and 2017 by this multicenter study. Methods Surgical nurses from 29 provinces and municipalities in China were investigated with the VTE prevention knowledge questionnaire designed for clinical nurses on the annual conference of the Chinese Nursing Association respectively from June to August 2015 and from October to December 2017. The results of these two investigations were compared. Results Totally 2 285 surgical nurses were investigated in 2017, whose average score was (50.97±11.529); while a total of 2 656 surgical nurses were investigated in 2015, whose average score was [(46.89±11.453), (t=7.568, P＜ 0.01)]. The scoring rate for physical and drug prophylaxis was lower than 60% in both investigations. Conclusions Surgical nurses show a higher level of VTE knowledge in 2017 than in 2015, but their mastery of such knowledge is still imbalanced. Hospital managers should pursue new training models and continue to popularize VTE-related knowledge in order to enhance VTE-related knowledge in surgical nurses and improve the quality of clinical nursing care.
