Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to determine the knowledge of nurses working in surgical clinics about pressure injuries, prevention, and treatment.
Material and Methods: The research sample consisted of 360 nurses working in surgical clinics in a public hospital in Ankara. In the data collection, forms prepared by the researcher by reviewing the literature and taking current guidelines as a source, containing questions to determine the socio-demographic characteristics of nurses and their level of knowledge about pressure injuries, were used. The data were analyzed by number, percentile, Kruskal Wallis H test, and Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: The average score of nurses taken from the questions about pressure injuries was found as 51.98±14.52. It was seen that the themes in which average scores are lowest are etiology and risk factors, and the themes in which average scores are highest are treatment and care. It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the age, gender, education level, and previous education about pressure injury and the knowledge score averages of the nurses.
Conclusion: In preventing pressure injuries, one of the health care quality indicators, nurses' knowledge and ability to identify risk factors are directly effective in prevention, treatment, and care. In parallel with the developments in science and technology, it is recommended to review the current literature on this subject, organize in-service training programs based on current guidelines, encourage nurses’ participation in courses or certificate programs, and inform them about in-house policies and procedures.

Cerrahi Kliniklerde Çalışan Hemşirelerin Basınç Yaralanmalarını Önlemeye Yönelik Bilgi Düzeylerinin Belirlenmesi

Year 2022, Volume: 9 Issue: 2, 216 - 224, 31.08.2022

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma cerrahi kliniklerde çalışan hemşirelerin basınç yaralanmaları, önlenmesi ve tedavisine yönelik bilgi düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapıldı.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini Ankara’da bir kamu hastanesinde cerrahi kliniklerde çalışan 360 hemşire oluşturdu. Verilerinin toplanmasında araştırmacı tarafından literatür taranarak ve güncel rehberler kaynak alınarak hazırlanan, hemşirelerin sosyo-demografik özellikleri ile basınç yaralanmalarına ilişkin bilgi düzeylerini saptamaya yönelik soruların yer aldığı formlar kullanıldı. Elde edilen veriler SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) programında; sayı, yüzdelik, Kruskal Wallis H testi ve Mann Whitney U testi ile analiz edildi.
Bulgular: Hemşirelerin basınç yaralanmasına yönelik sorulardan aldıkları puanların ortalaması 51.98±14.52 olarak saptandı. Puan ortalamalarının en düşük olduğu temanın etiyoloji ve risk faktörleri, en yüksek olduğu temanın ise tedavi ve bakım olduğu görüldü. Yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim durumu ve basınç yaralanması ile ilgili daha önce eğitim alma durumu ile hemşirelerin bilgi puan ortalamaları arasında istatiksel olarak anlamlı düzeyde fark olduğu belirlendi.
Sonuç: Sağlık bakım kalite göstergelerinden biri olan basınç yaralanmalarının önlenmesinde hemşirelerin bilgi yönünden donanımlı olması, risk faktörlerini tanımlayabilmesi; önleme, tedavi ve bakımda doğrudan etkili olmaktadır. Bilim ve teknolojideki gelişmelere paralel olarak bu konu ile ilgili güncel literatürün taranıp, güncel rehberlere dayanılarak hazırlanan hizmet içi eğitim programlarının düzenlenmesi, kurs ya da sertifika programlarına katılımının teşvik edilmesi ve kurum içi politika ve prosedürlerine ilişkin hemşirelerin bilgilendirilmesi önerilmektedir.
