Hemşirelerin Basınç Yaralanmasına Yönelik Bilgi Düzeyleri

Amaç: Bu çalışma hemşirelerin basınç yaralanmalarına yönelik bilgi düzeylerini ve bu bilgi düzeylerini etkileyen faktörleri incelemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte olan bu araştırmanın verilerinin toplanmasında ‘Tanıtıcı Özellikler Formu’ ve ‘Basınç Ülseri Önlemede Bilgi Değerlendirme Ölçeği (BÜÖBDÖ)’ kullanılmıştır. Çalışma, bir eğitim araştırma hastanesinin cerrahi-dahili yatan hasta klinikleri ve yoğun bakım ünitelerinde çalışan 256 hemşire ile yapılmıştır. Veri analizi tanımlayıcı istatistikler, bağımsız gruplarda t testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi ile yapılmıştır. Bulgular: Hemşirelerin %72,7’si lisans mezunu olup %31,3’ü 1-5 yıl arasında çalışma deneyimine sahiptir. Dahili kliniklerde çalışan hemşirelerin BÜÖBDÖ puan ortalaması 49,23±13,22, cerrahi kliniklerde çalışanların 51,95±11,98, yoğun bakımlarda çalışanların ise 49,63±SS=12,32 olarak bulunmuştur. Çalışmaya katılan hemşirelerin %77,3’ünün basınç yaralanmaları hakkında yeterli bilgi düzeyine sahip olmadıkları bulunmuştur. Çalışmaya katılan hemşirelerin basınç yaralanmasına yönelik kurs, sempozyum veya eğitimlere katılma durumları ile basınç yaralanması bilgi puanları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmıştır (p<0,05). Sonuç: Araştırma sonuçlarına göre hemşirelerin basınç yaralanması bilgi düzeylerinin düşük olduğu ve basınç yaralanmasına yönelik kurs, sempozyum veya eğitimlere katılma durumlarının bilgi düzeylerini etkilediği bulunmuştur.

Knowledge Levels of Nurses on Pressure Injury

Objective: This study was conducted to examine the knowledge levels of nurses about pressure injuries and the factors affecting this knowledge level. Material and Method: 'Descriptive Characteristics Form' and ‘Pressure Ulcer Prevention Knowledge Assessment Instrument (PUPKAI)’ were used to collect the data for this descriptive and cross-sectional study. The study was conducted with 256 nurses working in a training and research hospital's surgical-internal inpatient clinics and intensive care units. Data analysis was performed with descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, and one-way ANOVA tests. Results: 72.7% of the nurses have a bachelor's degree and 31.3% have a working experience of 1-5 years. It was found that the mean PUPKAI score of nurses working in internal clinics was 49.23±13.22, 51.95±11.98 working in surgical clinics, and 49.63±12.32 working in intensive care units. It was found that 77.3% (n=198) of the nurses participating in the study did not have sufficient knowledge. A statistically significant relationship was found between the nurses' participation in courses, symposiums, or training on pressure injury and their pressure injury knowledge scores (p<0.050). Conclusion: According to the results of the research, it was found that the nurses' knowledge level of pressure injury was low and their participation in courses, symposiums, or training on pressure injury affected their knowledge level.
