Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of venous thromboembolism (VTE) knowledge among nurses of hospitals in Tibet, so as to provide guidance for VTE nursing in Tibet.Methods:From November to December 2019, convenience sampling was used to conduct a VTE knowledge survey of 1 117 nurses in 59 hospitals from 7 cities (regions) of the Tibet Autonomous Region using the VTE Knowledge Questionnaire for Clinical Nurses. Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the influencing factors of VTE knowledge scores among nurses.Results:Among nurses of the Tibet Autonomous Region, the total VTE knowledge score was (36.70±15.17) , of which the basic knowledge dimension score was (7.13±2.99) , and the risk assessment dimension score was (14.75±7.61) , and the basic prevention dimension score was (3.92±1.99) , and the physical prevention dimension score was (4.73±2.62) points, and the drug prevention dimension score was (1.96±1.29) , and the VTE post-processing dimension score was (4.22±2.35) . The average score rate of VTE knowledge among nurses in Tibet was 48.94%, and the knowledge of nurses was at an intermediate to low level. In the use of preventive measures, nurses had insufficient knowledge, including physical prevention score rate of 36.38%, drug prevention score rate 39.20%. Logistic regression analysis showed that professional title, hospital level, and whether or not they had participated in training were independent factors influencing the qualification of nurses' VTE knowledge score ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The nurses in Tibet have insufficient knowledge of VTE. Managers need to carry out targeted training for nurses with different characteristics and the deficiencies of knowledge, to promote nurses to apply what they have learned to clinical practice effectively, and to ensure the quality of VTE care.
