Abstract:
Objective:To explore the status quo of knowledge, attitude and practice in the posture management of premature infants among nurses in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and related training needs.Methods:This study is a cross-sectional study. From March to April 2022, 207 NICU nurses from 6 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals in Shandong Province were selected by convenient sampling. The nurses were investigated online by using the self-developed General Information Questionnaire, Premature Infant Posture Management Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Questionnaire for NICU Nurses and Premature Infant Posture Management Training Needs Questionnaire for NICU Nurses. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of NICU nurses' knowledge, attitude and practice in the posture management of premature infants. A total of 207 questionnaires were distributed, and 201 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 97.10% (201/207) .Results:Among 201 NICU nurses, the scores of premature infant posture management knowledge, attitude, practice and total score were (59.12±7.82) , (33.10±3.09) , (54.92±7.36) and (147.14±15.15) respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis results show that the nature of the working hospital, whether they received relevant training, and the importance of participating in relevant training were the influencing factors of NICU nurses' total score of knowledge, attitude and practice in the posture management of premature infants ( P<0.05) . 78.11% (157/201) of NICU nurses accepted the training of premature infant posture management, 98.01% (197/201) of NICU nurses were willing to accept the training of premature infant posture management, and 91.04% (183/201) of NICU nurses thought it was very important to participate in the training of premature infant posture management. NICU nurses believed that the main obstacle affecting the quality of posture management of premature infants was the lack of relevant knowledge. The most desired training content was the effect of different postures on premature infants. Conclusions:NICU nurses have a high level of knowledge, attitude and practice in posture management of premature infants. Managers should strengthen the training of NICU nurses in the posture management of premature infants, improve the ability of NICU nurses in the posture management of premature infants, and promote the improvement of the nursing quality of premature infants.
