Abstract

Background

Acute exacerbations of bronchial asthma can lead to worsening symptoms, therefore it's important to have a well-designed management program. Many pediatric nurses, particularly internship nurses and recently graduated nurses in the PICU, lacked adequate knowledge and performance in managing children with acute exacerbations.

Objective

This study aimed to assess nurses' knowledge and performances regarding acute exacerbations of chronic bronchial asthma.

Materials and methods

A quasi-experimental (pre/post-test) design at PICUs xxx and PICU at xxx University Hospital, Egypt. A convenience sample of sixty nurses was randomly split into two groups (30 internship nursing students at the PICU and 30 newly graduated registered nurses).

Results

The two groups under study had inadequate preprogram knowledge of acute exacerbations of chronic asthma. Compared to freshly registered nurses, internship nurses have a sufficient level of knowledge regarding acute exacerbations of chronic bronchial asthma during the program. Additionally, children who received care from the internship nurses group had lower levels of dyspnea after the program than children who received care from the nurses' group, indicating that internship nurses performed better than freshly registered nurses in PICUs.

Conclusion

The present study recommended establishing regular workshops that focus the evidence-based performances regarding the management of acute exacerbations of chronic bronchial asthma in PICUs.

教育计划对picu内护士慢性支气管哮喘急性加重知识及表现的影响

背景支气管哮喘的急性加重会导致症状恶化，因此制定完善的管理方案非常重要。许多儿科护士，尤其是 PICU 的实习护士和刚毕业的护士，在管理急性加重期患儿方面缺乏足够的知识，表现也不尽如人意。将 60 名护士随机分成两组（30 名在 PICU 实习的护理专业学生和 30 名刚毕业的注册护士）。与刚毕业的注册护士相比，实习护士在课程期间对慢性支气管哮喘急性加重的知识有足够的了解。此外，接受实习护士组护理的患儿在项目结束后的呼吸困难程度低于接受护士组护理的患儿，这表明在 PICU 中实习护士的表现优于新注册护士。
