Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the current status and influencing factors of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses' knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP) about patients' early ambulation, so as to provide guidance for formulating appropriate early ambulation intervention strategies. MethodsFrom March to April of 2018, 220 ICU nurses from 4 ClassⅢ Grade A general hospitals were selected as participants in this study by convenience sampling. General Information Questionnaire and Investigation Questionnaire for KAP on Patients' Early Ambulation were used and the multivariate stepwise regression analysis was conducted to analyze the influencing factors. ResultsA total of 211 valid questionnaires were collected. The ICU nurses achieved (7.60±1.35)points from the knowledge on patients' early ambulation and (19.13±2.25) points from the attitude and (15.02±4.13) points from the practice; regression analysis indicated that working length in ICU, and whether there was any early ambulation plan were the influencing factors of the ICU nurses' knowledge on patients' early ambulation; job title, whether had related training experience and whether there was any early ambulation plan were the influencing factors of the ICU nurses' attitude on patients' early ambulation; whether specialized in ICU and whether there was any early ambulation plan were the influencing factors of the ICU nurses' practice on patients' early ambulation(P＜ 0.05). ConclusionsICU nurses' knowledge and attitude on patients' early ambulation are good, however the practice is not satisfying. ICU managers should face up to the current status of patients' early ambulation, work out patients' early ambulation plans for this medical institution, strengthen the training for the ICU medical staff, and promote ICU patients' standard early ambulation.
