Abstract

The knowledge, practice and attitude of nursing personnel in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) are critical in the effort to reduce sequelae in the neural development of premature newborns. This investigation aims to determine the relationship between level of knowledge, practice and attitude of nursing personnel working in NICU and the care and neural development of premature newborns. The specific objectives are the following: to obtain a profile on nursing personnel working in Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs); to determine the level of knowledge of nursing personnel regarding the neural development of premature newborns; to determine the practical application of this knowledge by nursing personnel in the care of premature newborns as regards their neural development; to describe the attitude of nursing personnel when caring for premature newborns as regards their neural development; and to establish the existing relationship between the sociodemographic categories of gender and years working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with the Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of the participants of this study. A questionnaire was administered to nurses working in four hospitals of the Metropolitan area of Puerto Rico. The study was descriptive and correlational with a transversal design; the Pearson Coefficient and Spearman’s Rank Correlation were used for analysis. A correlation was found between level of knowledge, practice and attitude of nurses in NICUs and care and neural development of newborns (r=.254, p < .05), revealing that updating knowledge enables personnel to maintain positive attitudes and apply appropriate nursing care. a Universidad Metropolitana (SUAGM, Puerto Rico-United States); b University of Malaga (Spain).

早产儿神经发育中护理知识、护理实践与护理态度的关系

新生儿重症监护病房(NICUs)护理人员的知识、实践和态度对于减少早产儿神经发育的后遗症至关重要。本调查旨在了解新生儿重症监护病房护理人员的知识水平、实践水平和态度与早产儿护理和神经发育的关系。具体目标如下:获得在新生儿重症监护病房(NICUs)工作的护理人员的概况;了解护理人员对早产儿神经发育的了解程度;确定护理人员在早产儿神经发育方面对这一知识的实际应用;描述护理人员对早产儿神经发育的护理态度;建立社会人口学性别类别与新生儿重症监护病房工作年限与本研究参与者的知识、态度和实践之间的现有关系。对在波多黎各大都会地区四家医院工作的护士进行了问卷调查。该研究是描述性的，与横向设计相关;采用Pearson系数和Spearman秩相关进行分析。新生儿重症监护病房护士的知识水平、实践水平和态度与新生儿的护理和神经发育呈正相关(r=。254, p < 0.05)，表明更新的知识可以使人员保持积极的态度并采取适当的护理措施。a大都会大学(美国波多黎各);b马拉加大学(西班牙)。通信:Madeline Fonseca Fonseca，大都会大学，邮政信箱21150，圣胡安，PR 00928(美国波多黎各)mfonseca8@suagm.edu
