Abstract

Unintentional perioperative hypothermia can cause potentially life-threatening complications. The aim of this study was to determine the awareness and practices of nurses regarding unintentional perioperative hypothermia prevention. The study was conducted at a teaching hospital in Gambia with descriptive cross-sectional design. A total of 53 nurses voluntarily participated in this study. The questionnaire used in this study was developed based on the American periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN) and National Institute for Health and Care Excellence perioperative hypothermia guidelines. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, Student t-test, and one-way ANOVA were used in the analysis of data. The result of the study showed that nurses had high level of awareness of unintentional perioperative hypothermia prevention; however, practice levels were found to be low. Based on the results of the study, development of policies, implementation of the unintentional perioperative hypothermia prevention guidelines, and continuous education to improve nurses' knowledge and practices were recommended.

护士对预防围手术期意外低体温的认识和实践：一项横断面研究。

无意造成的围手术期体温过低可能导致危及生命的并发症。本研究旨在确定护士对预防围手术期意外低体温的认识和做法。研究在冈比亚的一家教学医院进行，采用描述性横断面设计。共有 53 名护士自愿参与了这项研究。本研究使用的调查问卷是根据美国围手术期注册护士（AORN）和国家健康与护理卓越研究所围手术期低温指南编制的。数据分析采用了描述性统计、皮尔逊相关、学生 t 检验和单因素方差分析。研究结果表明，护士对围术期意外低体温的预防意识较高，但实践水平较低。根据研究结果，建议制定相关政策，实施围手术期意外低体温预防指南，并开展持续教育，以提高护士的知识和实践水平。

期刊介绍： Therapeutic Hypothermia and Temperature Management is the first and only journal to cover all aspects of hypothermia and temperature considerations relevant to this exciting field, including its application in cardiac arrest, spinal cord and traumatic brain injury, stroke, burns, and much more. The Journal provides a strong multidisciplinary forum to ensure that research advances are well disseminated, and that therapeutic hypothermia is well understood and used effectively to enhance patient outcomes. Novel findings from translational preclinical investigations as well as clinical studies and trials are featured in original articles, state-of-the-art review articles, protocols and best practices. Therapeutic Hypothermia and Temperature Management coverage includes: Temperature mechanisms and cooling strategies Protocols, risk factors, and drug interventions Intraoperative considerations Post-resuscitation cooling ICU management.
