Abstract

Aims

This study aimed to investigate the current status of knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding venous thromboembolism (VTE) prevention among orthopaedic nurses in comprehensive hospitals in Yichang, Hubei Province, China, and to analyse influencing factors to provide a reference for implementing VTE prevention strategies.

Methods

From February to March 2024, a total of 257 orthopaedic nurses from nine comprehensive hospitals in Yichang were surveyed using a convenience sampling method and investigated with a knowledge, attitudes and practices questionnaire for VTE prevention. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to identify factors influencing knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding VTE prevention among orthopaedic nurses.

Results

The overall score for knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding VTE prevention among orthopaedic nurses was 88.54 ± 5.73, with knowledge scoring 73.56 ± 7.69, attitudes scoring 95.66 ± 7.79 and practices scoring 95.96 ± 7.04. Position, training frequency, quality inspection and discharge follow-up were significant factors influencing knowledge, attitudes and practices scores (p < 0.05).

Conclusions

In the orthopaedic departments of comprehensive hospitals in Yichang, Hubei Province, China, the overall level of knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding VTE prevention among nurses is generally good, with positive attitudes and practices observed. However, there is potential for improvement in knowledge levels. Recommendations include enhancing standardized VTE training, improving knowledge levels, strengthening health education and ensuring discharge follow-up to optimize VTE prevention efforts.

综合性医院骨科护士预防静脉血栓栓塞的知识、态度和实践：一项横断面调查

目的了解湖北省宜昌市综合性医院骨科护士预防静脉血栓栓塞（VTE）的知识、态度和行为现状，分析影响因素，为实施静脉血栓栓塞预防策略提供参考。方法采用便利抽样法，对宜昌市9家综合性医院骨科护士257名进行静脉血栓栓塞预防知识、态度和实践问卷调查。通过多元线性回归分析骨科护士静脉血栓栓塞预防知识、态度和行为的影响因素。结果骨科护士静脉血栓栓塞预防知识、态度和行为总分为88.54±5.73分，其中知识得分为73.56±7.69分，态度得分为95.66±7.79分，行为得分为95.96±7.04分。岗位、培训频次、质检和出院随访是影响知识、态度和实践得分的显著因素（p < 0.05）。结论湖北省宜昌市综合性医院骨科护士对静脉血栓栓塞预防的知识、态度和行为总体水平较好，态度和行为较为积极。然而，在知识水平方面仍有改进的潜力。建议包括加强标准化静脉血栓栓塞培训、提高知识水平、加强健康教育和确保出院随访，以优化静脉血栓栓塞预防工作。
