Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the current situation of knowledge, attitude and practice level of ICU nurses in the prevention of medical device-related pressure injuries (MDRPI) in critically ill patients and analyze its influencing factors.Methods:From May to August 2019, 540 ICU nurses in 8 Class Ⅲ general hospitals in Zhejiang province were surveyed by using "MDRPI Prevention Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Questionnaire for ICU Nurses". Current situation and influencing factors of knowledge, attitude and practice of ICU nurses in the prevention of MDRPI were analyzed and relationships among prevention knowledge, attitude and practice were explored.Results:The overall average score of knowledge, attitude and practice level of ICU nurses in the prevention of MDRPI was (3.87±0.46) . Of which, the average score of knowledge dimension items was (3.43±0.69) , the average score of attitude dimension items was (4.13±0.51) , and the average score of practice dimension items was (4.06±0.56) . There were statistically significant differences in the overall average scores of knowledge, attitude and practice in the prevention of MDRPI in ICU nurses with different genders, marital status, years of work, titles, duties, whether they are members of the wound stoma or pressure ulcer group, whether they have cared for MDRPI patients, whether they have received MDRPI training ( P<0.05) . Multiple linear regression analysis showed that years of work, whether they had cared for MDRPI patients and whether they had received training in MDRPI were influencing factors of knowledge, attitude and practice level of ICU nurses in the prevention of MDRPI ( P<0.05) . ICU nurses MDRPI prevention knowledge, attitude and practice were positively correlated ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:ICU nurses have a more positive attitude and behavior towards MDRPI prevention, but their knowledge of MDRPI prevention is relatively lacking. Nursing managers should attach importance to training on ICU nurses' knowledge of MDRPI prevention so as to improve their MDRPI recognition and nursing ability.
