Abstract:
Objective To investigate the mastery of knowledge about delirium nursing for mechanical ventilation patients in ICU nurses in Zhengzhou and analyze its influencing factors. Methods A total of 267 ICU nurses from 7 general hospitals in 5 urban areas of Zhengzhou city were selected as the study object by convenience sampling. The general information of these study subjects were collected by questionnaire, together with their knowledge of delirium nursing for patients with mechanical ventilation in intensive care units. Results In this study, the overall score of the study object's knowledge scale was (42.20 ± 5.51). The top 4 sources of knowledge related to ICU delirium were continuing education and training (73.1%), department lectures (64.2%), academic conferences (61.5%) and experience exchange among colleagues (58.5%); the top 4 items of delirium-related knowledge that ICU nurses wanted most were the analysis and application of scales (82.5%), treatment of delirium (76.4%), definition and classification of delirium (69.0%) and risk factors and etiology (60.3%). The univariate analysis showed that age, education, job title, age of care and related content training were the factors related to ICU nurses' scores in delirium-related knowledge (P<0.001). According to the multivariate linear regression analysis, academic qualifications, job title and nursing age were the factors affecting ICU nurses' scores in delirium-related knowledge (P<0.05). Conclusions ICU nurses in Zhengzhou have relatively inadequate knowledge of delirium nursing for ICU patients with mechanical ventilation. Therefore, emphasis should be placed on the role of continuing education and department lectures, focusing on training in the analysis and application of ICU delirium rating scales and handling of delirium, especially for those nurses with low academic qualifications, low professional titles and shorter nursing age.
