INTRAOPERATIVE PATIENT CARE KNOWLEDGE LEVELS OF OPERATING ROOM NURSES: A CASE OF AFYONKARAHISAR
Öz
OBJECTIVE: Operating rooms are work environments where the risk of making mistakes is high in health care areas, as they are areas where stress is experienced at a high level and quick decision-making is required. The ability of operating room nurses to fulfill their roles and responsibilities professionally depends on having sufficient knowledge and skills specific to the field. It is thought the fact that operating room nurses have a grasp of intraoperative period patient care will reduce the risks such as falling, pressure wound, burns, foreign body forgetting, surgical site infection, and increase the quality of the surgery. For these purposes, we aimed to determine the intraoperative patient care knowledge levels of the operating room nurses in the city of Afyonkarahisar.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: This descriptive study was carried out with 60 operating room nurses working in the public and private hospitals of the city of Afyonkarahisar , after their informed verbal consent was obtained, between August and September 2014. The data were collected through a survey form consisting of two parts. In the first part, there are 6 questions about the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants. In the second part, a 3-point Likert type questionnaire consisting of 36 items designed by the researchers after the review of relevant literature and taking expert opinion was used to determine the knowledge levels of operating room nurses regarding intraoperative patient care. The SPSS for Windows 18.00 program was used in the evaluation and analysis of the data. Descriptive statistics of continuous variables were shown with mean, standard deviation, median, minimum and maximum values, while descriptive statistics of categorical variables were shown with frequency and percentage.
RESULTS: Of the nurses participating in the study, the mean age was 32.03 ± 7.32 (min: 19 max: 50), 86.7% were female, 45.0% had an undergraduate degree, and 73.3% were nursing graduates. It was determined that 61.7% of them had been in the profession for more than 6 years while 53.3% working in the operating room for more than 6 years. The intraoperative period patient care knowledge mean score of the nurses was found to be 26.13 ± 5.42.
CONCLUSIONS: As a result of this study, nurses working in the operating rooms of the city of Afyonkarahisar were determined to have a sufficient level of intraoperative patient care knowledge, however, there have been practices identified that need to be corrected and improved.
