Neonatal Intensive Care Nurses’ Opinion on Oxygen Therapy: A Survey Conducted In Turkey
Öz
Aim: To determine neonatal intensive care nurses’ opinion on oxygen therapy and their knowledge about it.
Methods: This descriptive study was conducted at five neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Konya, Turkey. 80 nurses, who agreed to participate, were included in study. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The questionnaire consisted of 30 questions.
Results: There wasn’t any protocol that indicates methods for oxygen therapy in these NICUs. Values of SpO2 and blood gas, neonates’ respiratory distress, circulatory assessment for neonates and physician’s request were found important for nurses for oxygen therapy. “Performing pre-oxygenation before endotracheal aspiration”, “reducing gradually flow rate of oxygen while stopping oxygen therapy”, “the type of fluid for humidifying the oxygen” were the most known questions by nurses.
Conclusion: Neonatal nurses had adequate knowledge on some aspects of oxygen therapy, but they also had incomplete knowledge in some vital issues for oxygen therapy.
